Infiniti has just unleashed their most powerful M Class in history. The all new 2011 Infiniti M37 and 2011 Infiniti M56 are the pinnacle of the Infiniti lineup. With much anticipation dealerships across the nation are now taking delivery and showcasing these ultra performance luxury sedans. The new M37 and M37x all-wheel-drive is powered by a 3.7-liter V-6 engine with 330 horsepower--a 9 percent increase in power. The M56 and M56x all-wheel-drive have a 5.6-liter V-8 engine under the hood and deliver 420 horsepower, an amazing 30 percent more power than previous M Sedans. Both models have a 24 percent increase in torque as well. Miraculously, Infiniti was able to not only increase the horsepower but also increase the fuel efficiency in both new M models. The M37 has added 3 miles per gallon and the M56 has an additional 4 mpg.

Improved performance, emissions and fuel efficiency are the result of Infiniti's Variable Valve Event

and Lift (VVEL) technology combined with Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) which optimize timing for intake and exhaust valves in both the V-6 and V-8 engines. These systems have improved fuel economy so significantly that the gas guzzler tax previously applied to the 2010 M45x will not apply to the M56x. Other innovative technology is shown in a 7-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) which learns the drivers shifting patterns and shifts accordingly.

Of course the new 2011 Infiniti M37 and M56 are exquisitely beautiful. As with other Infiniti models the new Ms have a sleek, aerodynamic design to eliminate wind resistance. The luxurious cabin is abundantly spacious and graced with baby soft leather seats and silver powdered wood accents making the interior cozy and inviting. An innovative Forrest Air TM system replaces standard air conditioning and mimics a natural breeze with gentle bursts of cool air while purifying the air and controlling for humidity.

Beyond beauty, safety is a number one concern for Infiniti. Safety features such as a Blind Spot Intervention TM System (BSI) emits a warning when vehicles or other objects are in the blind spot when the driver is about to change lanes. An available Forward Collision Warning feature also alerts the driver of a potential collision with a visual and audible warning when the vehicle is too close to something in its path. Both of the new 2011 Infiniti M Sedans are equipped with sophisticated air bag systems. A dual-stage front air bag system as well as driver and front passenger side air bags keep those closest to a front end collision safe. Roof mounted curtain side impact air bags for front and rear passenger protection offer added safety and peace of mind.

Now is the time to come test drive these amazing new Infiniti M sedans but be warned , you may quickly become addicted to this unique blend of power, excellence and grace.
