  • Infiniti IPL G Convertible Concept

    Talk of a Red Bull Racing-flavored Infiniti road car isn't new--it's been discussed by company honchos almost since the inception of Infiniti's sponsorship of the Formula One team. But today, more details from the top people at both Nissan and Red Bull have emerged. Christian Horner, team principal of the F1 team, says, "It's a natural evolution for us to get involved in road car engineering." Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn backs up Horner's stance with more tentative language, saying there's no project currently in the works, but noting that if a Red Bull-assisted road car were to enter...

  • 2013 Infiniti JX spy shots

    There's a new seven-seater in the works at Infiniti, and fortunately, it shares almost nothing in common with the up-to-eight-passenger QX56, at least in terms of its appearance. These spy shots offer the first good look at what to expect when the new JX makes its debut at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. So far what we know of the JX is that it will offer seven seats in a three-row arrangement, will be a crossover, and will offer a "stunning" interior. It will also be built in the U.S., at Nissan's Smyrna, Tennessee plant. The JX, presumably, targets other luxury crossovers like...

    Infiniti Planning New Sports Coupe For 2012 Geneva Motor Show?

    There are many auto shows, both big and small, between now and next year's Geneva Motor Show. But that isn't stopping the ever-greased rumor mill from churning out a tidbit or two on the 2012 event. According to one such tidbit, Infiniti will launch an all-new sports coupe in Switzerland, and it...

    Infiniti To Build Red Bull-Flavored Peformance Model?

    Formula 1 is more interesting this year than it has been in any of the recent five, and though that has little to do with Infiniti's tie-up with Red Bull, the new partnership may yet spawn something even more interesting, and more relevant to those of us in the U.S., who won't get to witness F1...

  • Infiniti JX luxury crossover teaser

    Yesterday we saw a teaser sketch for the new seven-seat 2013 Infiniti JX and at today’s 2011 New York Auto Show we have confirmation that the upcoming luxury crossover will be built right here in the U.S. The information was revealed today by Nissan’s U.S. chief, Carlos Tavares, who confirmed that production would start towards the end of the year at Nissan’s plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. The move mimics the strategy of close rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which build some of their most popular models, the respective X5 and ML SUVs, at plants in the U.S. to avoid the effects of...

  • Infiniti G37 S Coupe rally safety car

    When you think of Rally, Infiniti isn't the first name that comes to mind. Even Nissan, its parent, isn't. In fact, there's so little tie-in between the two, the unveiling of a rally-prepped safety car for the Spanish Rally Championship is completely surprising. It's a pleasant surprise, too. The G37 S Coupe was chosen as the basis for the rally safety car, and though that means it's a six-speed manual transmission car, it also means it is rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive as you might expect--Infiniti only packages its all-wheel drive system with an automatic transmission. Power output...

Since then, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have all given the performance-hybrid...
