Infiniti's European debut with more luxury and better performance

2008 Infiniti G 37 Coupe

Infiniti, Europe’s newest premium car brand, has launched an internet based ‘reservation list’ in response to demand from customers eager to be among the first in their country to own one of the company’s range of performance cars when deliveries start from October 2008.

The first European Infiniti Centres will open their doors in nine countries from October 2008, including the major markets of France, Spain and Italy. Six more countries will join the Infiniti stable from January 2009, quickly followed by a further six countries from April 2009, including the UK and Germany.

The arrival of Infiniti in Europe is not just one of the most exciting premium automotive brand events in nearly two decades; it promises to redefine the customer’s experience of buying and owning a performance car.

At launch, the Infiniti range will comprise four exciting, and engaging luxury cars – two highly distinctive crossovers, the EX37 coupé crossover and all new FX performance crossover, and the award-winning G37 coupé and sedan models. Each Infiniti model will be tailored for European customers’ unique needs, rigid quality standards and demanding European driving conditions.

VQ37VHR - 3.7 liter V6 Engine

Infiniti European models will be fitted with new stabilizers and bigger brakes than their American counterparts. Nissan will also introduce a new 7-speed automatic transmission along with a V6 diesel engine around 2010 when the next-generation ‘M’ arrives.

Not only that, Infiniti’s V6 engines in Europe will be more powerful. While we see a 3.5 liter unit here on the G35 sedan; Europeans will enjoy a larger 3.7 liter V6 engine.
