IPL G Cabrio Concept
Infiniti revealed today the Infiniti Performance Line (IPL) G Cabrio Concept, a new car set to take the center stage at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This car follows the first production Infiniti Performance Line variant, the G Coupe and comes in an impressive Malbeck Black finish (a pearlescent black paint with red hints) and a Monaco Red leather interior. The concept can transform itself from a coupe to a cabrio in just 25 seconds and promises to enter production if the feedback received from Paris is positive.
The car is powered by a 3.7-litre V6 boasting 338 hp, with 18 more than the production version of the G Coupe, thanks to the new high-flow dual exhaust system. Also, it delivers 374 Nm of torque, with 14 more than the standard version. This engine can push the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 6.0 seconds while the top speed achieved is over 270 km/h (167 mph). The engine is mated to seven speed automatic transmission with magnesium paddle shifts. Regarding its design, the car features a new bumper section and blacked-out grille and headlight surrounds bring an aggressive new edge as well as 19-inch split-rim 7-spoke graphite-finish alloy wheels. Inside, the interior trim finishers are unique to the Paris concept.
“The centre console is finished with black lacquer while the dashboard area above the glove box and doors are adorned with KACCHU, the name given to the armour used by Japan’s feudal warlords, or samurai, in the Middle Ages. Small iron plates were woven through textile to provide not just great strength but also flexibility and light weight. Because the highly skilled process allowed for a multitude of colours and patterns, the most elaborate KACCHU designs were a sign of great power and wealth.” said the press release.
