Infiniti G37

Introduced in 2008, the Infiniti G37 replaced the G35 in the Japanese automaker's lineup. The new G37 featured more aerodynamic styling, an updated suspension, and a more powerful engine that made it competitive with such high-performance vehicles as the Audi TT roadster, the Jaguar XK and the BMW 335i.

For its first year in production, the G37 was powered by a 330-horsepower, 3.7-liter, VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) V6 engine, designed to produce a rush of acceleration. The VVEL technology not only tunes the engine continually for optimal performance, but also provides improved fuel efficiency and lower carbon-dioxide emissions.

The new G37 also featured a number of innovations, such as four-wheel Active Steer, which means that all wheels turn as you steer. This helps improve handling, especially during hard cornering.

Other features such as a five-speed automatic transmission with magnesium steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, 14-inch brake disks, Washi-finish aluminum interior trim, and a leather-trimmed 14-way-adjustable driver's sport seat made this a cutting-edge vehicle both inside and out.

The 2008 G37 was also equipped with an 11-speaker, Bose-designed Infiniti Studio on Wheels stereo system and massive 19-inch wheels.
