Performance, reshaped to ignite
invigoration.Infiniti engineers envisioned
the all-new M to deliver a more fluid, naturally dynamic feeling of
performance. By Sculpting the power of the more than 400-hp
5.6-liter V8 and the 3.7-liter V6 VVEL engines to release like a rising
wave, they crafted acceleration to feel limitless-while improving fuel
efficiency.
Luxury,
alive with the human touch. Hand-crafted silver powered wood accents create a natural
yet modern atmosphere. The custom leather was meticulously
tested by touch around the world to create the perfect feel.
Luxury made more sensory.
Industry-first technology, honed to
anticipate. At Infiniti, innovation is now
tradition. The latest is a blind spot intervention system
that warns of vehicles next to you and assists in returning the vehicle
to its original lane. Our vision is a world without accidents,
where technology anticipates and
responds.
Infiniti today provided an advanced look
at the
all-new 2011 Infiniti M performance luxury sedan at the 59th Annual
Pebble
Beach Concours d'Elegance. This is the third generation of Infiniti's
popular M and the first to be sold across all of Infiniti's 32 markets
around the world, including Western Europe.
Like the current Infiniti M, the
next-generation design will be offered with V8 and
V6
engines. The 2011 M models will be designated the Infiniti M56 and
Infiniti M37 respectively, reflecting their more powerful, larger
displacement engines. The M56 V8 is expected to offer more than 400 horsepower.
For Western Europe, the M56 will be replaced by a V6 performance
diesel.
The 2011 Infiniti M also
features a completely redesigned body, with authentic
sports
sedan proportions and evocative new styling with a low front end and
deeply
sculpted fenders inspired by the Infiniti Essence concept car. The new M
interior
promises to be pure Infiniti, highlighted by the use of innovative
materials, an advanced climate control system, superior audio and an
enhanced quality feel. Despite improved performance from the new engine lineup,
fuel consumption will be reduced.
In addition, the 2011 M will
continue Infiniti's technology innovation leadership
with a
blind spot intervention system. This industry-first system is designed
to help alert the driver if another vehicle is detected in an adjacent
lane during an intended lane change, and then help assist the driver in
returning the vehicle toward the center of the original lane of
travel.
The 2011 Infiniti
M was
revealed through a unique "video mapping" process - in which
a "virtual
M" was created on a 3D form. It is the world's first "virtual only"
(no
physical vehicle) automotive application of this cutting-edge
technology.
