Seductive Infiniti Style
The 2012 Infiniti G Coupe's smooth,
aerodynamic design offers flowing front fender curves, a wave-style
hood, expressive front fascia with Infiniti's signature double-arch
grille and L-shaped High-Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-functional xenon
headlights. The front fascia, revised for the previous model year,
includes standard fog lights in the lower fascia area, while the strong
side character line and side sills integrate with the large wheel wells
and performance-oriented wheel and tire packages to transmit an added
sense of power and vibrancy.
The rear of the G Coupe features
broad rear fenders flowing into the large LED taillights, refined rear
bumper, integrated RearView Monitor camera (except G37 Coupe base
model), rear underbody air diffusers and large dual exhaust outlets with
chrome finishers. The G37 Coupe Sport 6MT and G37 Coupe models with
Sport Package add an enhanced performance look, with a unique front
fascia and standard 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with high performance
tires. Eight exterior colors are offered for 2012: Vibrant Red, Malbec
Black, Liquid Platinum, Blue Slate, Graphite Shadow, Black Obsidian,
Moonlight White and Lapis Blue.
The G Coupe interior design
features sophisticated craftsmanship, with a cockpit-oriented front
driver and passenger area, Infiniti signature "double wave" instrument
panel design featuring the Infiniti-signature analog clock and dramatic,
full-length center console with a leather and aluminum-clad shifter.
Dramatic "Shodo" aluminum interior trim is featured on the instrument
panel, center console and door panels. The instrument panel includes
Infiniti electroluminescent instrumentation with white illumination and
integrated multi-function information drive computer display (average
fuel consumption, real-time fuel economy, average speed, elapsed time,
running distance, distance to empty, outside air temperature, warning
displays, odometer and automatic transmission shift indicator).
A
standard double hand-stitched leather-covered steering wheel is
designed for maximum comfort and usability, with standard wheel-mounted
audio and cruise controls. Solid magnesium paddle shifters are available
for the 7-speed automatic transmission (Sport Package). The 8-way power
driver and front passenger seats are appointed with Infiniti's
exclusive premium leather and feature 2-way adjustable head restraints
and a unique rear-seat access system (the front seats move forward
automatically at the touch of a button to allow passengers into the rear
seats).
The Sport Package (available on G37 Coupe Journey and
G37x Coupe AWD) and G37 Coupe Sport 6MT add special sport-styled seats
with thigh extensions and power adjustable torso and thigh bolsters for
the driver, unique steering wheel stitching (except Stone interior) and
high-grip aluminum pedals.
Technology and convenience features
abound in the 2012 G Coupe and include items such as standard Infiniti
Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, Remote Keyless Entry system, a
tilt/telescoping steering column with increased travel, illuminated
glove compartment and automatic temperature control. Also standard is a
6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3 playback capability, Radio Data

7-inch color display and standard XM® Satellite Radio (XM® subscription
required, sold separately). An 11-speaker Infiniti "Studio on Wheels"™
by Bose® with a 3-way front door speaker array using 10-inch woofers is
standard on the Sport 6MT model and optionally available on G37 Coupe
Journey and G37x Coupe AWD models.
The G Coupe's available

Information, XM NavWeather™ with Real-Time Weather and 3-day forecast
(XM® subscription required, sold separately), and Zagat Survey®
Restaurant Guide.
Three interior color combinations are offered - Wheat, Graphite and Stone.
Exhilarating Performance, Intuitive All-Wheel Drive
At
the core of the G Coupe's stellar performance is its advanced 3.7-liter
VQ37VHR V6 engine with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift) rated
at 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The VVEL system combines
hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled
variable valve lift on the intake side to help improve performance and
response. The VVEL intake camshafts, featuring continuously variable
lift control teamed with the Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control
System (CVTCS), allow for a 7,500 rpm redline.
The engine also
features ladder frame construction, large crank journal and pin
diameters, asymmetric piston skirts, twin knock sensors, an
electronically controlled "drive-by-wire" throttle system, lightweight
pistons, Iridium spark plugs and a symmetric twin air intake system. The
specially tuned dual exhaust system features equal length exhaust
manifolds and low muffler exhaust backpressure to help improve engine
breathing. Both intake and exhaust enhance driving pleasure with their
authentic performance notes.
The G37 Coupe engine is backed by a
choice of an electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission
with manual mode, downshift rev matching, Drive Sport (DS) mode and
Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) that allows for quicker shifts in sporty
driving situations and available solid magnesium paddle shifters; or a
responsive, lightweight 6-speed manual transmission.
