Vettel Inspired FX50 Bound for Production
October 19, 2011
The Infiniti FX50 Performance Concept inspired by F1 world champ Sebastian Vettel is bound for production, Infiniti announced on October 18th. The concept was introduced last month at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. Details of the production version, including pricing and launch date, have not been revealed. "Doing the FX Sebastian Vettel version for Frankfurt was fun, but it's also kind of a pilot," said Andy Palmer, Infiniti executive vice president, in a statement. "It's about our equivalent of Mercedes-Benz AMG or BMW M Cars. We wanted to test the organization and see if it could cope with this type of special version. "Sebastian's FX demonstrates we are able to do low-volume specials, and the FX Sebastian Vettel version is one of the first that will go to market." The concept is equipped with a 414-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 engine and a high-downforce aerodynamics package developed by Infiniti in collaboration with Red Bull Racing. Infiniti is a sponsor of Vettel's Red Bull F1 racecar. Infiniti said Vettel had a hand in designing the concept following a conversation with Infiniti Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.

The Infiniti JX Makes It's Debut
August 21, 2011
 
The Infiniti JX Concept, a preview of an innovative new 7-passenger/3-row luxury crossover that joins the Infiniti lineup in spring 2012, made its world debut on Aug. 18 at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The JX Concept was unveiled by Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura prior to its display throughout the weekend’s activities at the famed Lodge at Pebble Beach. The JX Concept advances the Infiniti design language, sharing design cues of the Infiniti Essence concept, yet interprets those elements in ways suitable to the needs of a family luxury crossover,” said Nakamura. “From the dramatic front grille and headlight design to the crescent-cut D-pillar and greenhouse shape, the JX Concept shines as a fresh, bold alternative to the many flavors of vanilla currently dominating the three-row luxury crossover segment.” Beyond its stunning exterior, the new Infiniti JX Concept is designed to excel in three areas where luxury crossover buyers put an emphasis" interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and innovative hospitality features. “The three-row luxury crossover segment is one of the fastest growing among all luxury vehicle segments, providing a huge opportunity for Infiniti,” explained Infiniti Americas Vice President Ben Poore. “And like every segment Infiniti enters, we plan to shake up the status quo" with a vehicle that is guaranteed to instantly become the new benchmark for style, hospitality, roominess, advanced telematics and safety technologies.”In the interior, for example, the production Infiniti JX will offer what is expected to be class-leading roominess, along with a 2nd row seat design that tilts and slides forward providing exceptionally easy 3rd row access.“With the JX, you will even be able to leave a child seat latched to the 2nd row while getting in or out of the 3^rd row" just one example of the vehicle’s inspired flexibility and versatility,” added Poore. “The 3rd row isn’t the typical penalty box either, with adult-sized room for all occupants and five-and-a-half inches of 2nd row forwardback adjustability.” The Infiniti JX continues Infiniti’s tradition of developing world’s first technologies, offering the currently available Blind Spot Intervention and adding a new feature, Backup Collision Intervention. With this technology, when the transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing objects behind the vehicle and, if necessary, the system will automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision. The Infiniti JX will also offer technologies designed to make owners lives a bit easier and more efficient, such as a 14-speaker Bose Studio Surround sound system with Waveguide bass technology and an advanced Infiniti Connection Telematics system that can automatically synch the owner’s calendar and provide navigation guidance to appointments. It will also feature the Infiniti Personal Assistant, Infiniti’s new personal concierge service with 24-hour access to a live team of professional assistants. The Infiniti Personal Assistant benefit is now offered free-of-charge with every 2012 Infiniti vehicle purchase. And, in keeping with Infiniti’s “Inspired Performance,” the Infiniti JX will offer a balance of driving exhilaration and fuel efficiency through a combination of a powerful V6 engine and all-wheel or front-wheel drive. The Infiniti JX will also be the first Infiniti to utilize a sport-tuned, but fuel-efficient continuously variable transmission. The CVT will mimic a step transmission when the Sport mode of the Infiniti drive selector is engaged. Additional information regarding the drivetrain and other systems will be provided at the debut of the production version of the all-new Infiniti JX at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2011. “As a premium crossover with a real 3rd row" along with Infiniti levels of hospitality and driving pleasure, the new JX is another breakthrough design from the brand that has been breaking new ground for more than 20 years,” Nakamura added. “We will continue to challenge conventional thinking.”In addition, in conjunction with the global reveal of the Infiniti JX, Infiniti is launching the JX Concept “Power of 7” Challenge on Facebook. The challenge invites fans to submit inspiring creations relating to seven Infiniti JX categories: Epicurean, Art & Fashion, Film, Interior Design, Music, Athletics and Technology & Science. The community will vote on the submissions, and winners in each category will receive a cash prize and compete to win trip to 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. More information, including official rules, is available at www.facebook.com/infiniti.

Infiniti Announces New JX Crossover to be Released Spring 2012 Infiniti has announced an all-new three-row luxury crossover designated the Infiniti JX that will go on sale at its retailers in spring 2012 as a 2013 model. An exterior sketch of the Infiniti JX suggests a vehicle that pushes the boundaries of what a luxury crossover can be with signature styling cues of the brand, such as dynamic and elegant line treatments inspired by nature. The brand styling theme continues with a "crescent cut" greenhouse design influenced by the Infiniti Essence concept car. More details will be provided when the Infiniti JX concept is shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this August. The production version will make its global debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in November. "The all-new Infiniti JX crossover will allow us to continue to expand the Infiniti brand's presence in the Americas," said Carlos Tavares, chairman, Nissan Americas. "In 2010, Infiniti was one of the fastest-growing luxury brands in the United States, and this year we will expand our presence further to Mexico and Panama, followed by Chile in the first half of 2012." "There aren't a lot of choices for luxury families today. The all-new Infiniti JX is the 7-passenger antidote to the ho-hum luxury crossovers that are out there right now," added Ben Poore, vice president of Infiniti Americas. "The Infiniti JX will have a stunning interior, while offering exceptional seating flexibility, easy access to the roomy third row, plus the latest in-vehicle technology" including next-generation telematics. A fitting addition to our line, it will challenge the status quo in its class."

Infiniti Unveils the World's Most Powerful Hybrid It is rare that the power and beauty of a single automobile captures the imagination of the consumer, opening a window into the future, reawakening the driver's senses to the fine, freeing art of motoring. But Infiniti has done just that: The Infiniti Essence concept car represents the core of the automotive arts, a celebration of history and a looking glass to the future. Though you won't see this beauty on the Coulter Infiniti (car dealerships, AZ) sales floor (no production plans yet - heartbreaker, we know), it is a testimony to what Infiniti has in mind. The Essence is the world's most powerful hybrid car, delivering a meaty 592 horses to the rear drive and carrying ecological innovations reflective of Nissan/Infiniti's commitment to producing eco-friendly vehicles, vehicles that Arizona car dealership Coulter Infiniti can't wait to show you. The impressive engine is capable of running both petrol and electric motors independently or as a "parallel" hybrid system depending on driving demands. There are also a number of other features that make this a "green" machine, including a re-optimized electric motor designed with 3D magnetic field analysis, a revamped direct-injection fuel system, and a double clutch system for seamless shifting between motors. And though it's easy to get caught up on performance features and green characteristics, one of the most startling things about the vehicle is simply its seamless, revolutionary design. Nissan/Infiniti head designer Takashi Nakajima personally oversaw the creation of the Essence. In designing a vehicle to celebrate 20 years of Infiniti, Nakajima turned to what he calls the "Power of Nature" principle, incorporating elements in the physical design that would not only mimic aspects of the natural world, but also Japanese arts such as calligraphy brush strokes. Traditional Japanese fashion has also influenced the design of the automobile. The side intake motif is actually designed after a "Kanzashi," a decorative hairpin worn by women dressed in kimonos. Eventually, we will see Essence's influences in vehicles at Coulter Infiniti, your Infiniti car dealer (Arizona). Designer Nakajima desired that the vehicle embed a sense of mystery, an effect it will certainly have on anyone who sees it. But the real mystery is how the Essence will influence the designs of future automobiles to be offered at Infiniti car dealerships (AZ). We can certainly expect to see some mighty and innovative hybrid powertrains from Infiniti, and if we're lucky, we'll see some of those powerful design cues implemented into the vehicles Infiniti produces in the next couple of years. How do we at Coulter Infiniti feel? As your choice for Infiniti car dealers in AZ, we're just excited to show you all Infiniti has to hold for the future. 2011 Infiniti M56 The anticipation of the new 2011 Infiniti M has generated a buzz among car enthusiasts'. Road & Track recently caught a glimpse of the 2011 M and touch on the features that will make waiting more than worthwhile. "We're delighted that our spy photographer stumbled across this Infiniti, a large and luxurious sedan with a handsome new look that may help it recapture some of the buzz that surrounded the Q45 back in the early 1990s.
