The Way of Infiniti We begin with a full sheet of paper. A list of sensations we intend to create. From tranquility to invincibility. We look to nature for inspiration. And to the skills of Japanese craftsman for creation. We seek the most beautiful shapes, the most luxurious textures, the most dynamic forces. All to build a deeper sensory connection between car and driver. A more moving experience. This is inspired performance. This is the way of Infiniti.

FX – The Duel
I N F I NI TI
Nothing in the world can stop you if you’re out to bl aze new trails! Twins Mike and Stuart Belbas together manage a successful paragliding school in Verbier. All in perfect harmony, but give them t wo wild pieces of sports equipment and that’s when it really takes off. Today, they want to know who gets there faster: Infiniti F X50 or paraglider? The result is worth seeing!
FX
With the paraglider, you feel invincible. Just you, your glider, the skies and unlimited freedom. What is there to be frightened of? It’s clear that you will take on any challenge: car versus paraglider, road versus clouds, the pure passion for competition and speed. Your opponent is your brother. Your arena is the steep rock and hairpin bends of the Swiss Alps. Allons! You check out the buckles and the lines of your glider, turn to face into the wind and start running. You feel the tension in the harnesses as the canopy soars above you. Then you run, until the ground suddenly disappears beneath your feet.
The heart of the Infiniti FX50 is a powerful V8 5.0-litre engine 390 PS, developing 500 Nm of torque and all at a minimum weight.

The contact to the ‘sports arena’ is direct and intensive. Accelerate, brake, steer round, accelerate out of the curve, uphill, and downhill – what a chase.
100 percent excitement. Wind, the landscape, crazy speed and undiluted adrenaline.
Thermals are your allies if you know how to use them. You feel the wind, the landscape, crazy speed and undiluted adrenaline because below, the other guy is pushing you to the limits. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes he is. You hear the unmistakable sound echoing through the valleys as only an engine can sound as it hungrily breathes the mountain air through its 32 valves. Variable timing running within milliseconds.

The goal is getting closer and that’s all that counts – to be first, if it’s just a matter of seconds.
Then you go into an Immelmann turn and feel the extreme acceleration forces pulling at your body. But now you are right behind him. You tug at the steering lines, push your weight into the curve, change the trim, reduce the angle of pitch and accelerate your flight full of concentration and with your ears pushed flat against your head. But your opponent has his hands more than full as well. Maybe it’s less windy but his contact to the ‘sports arena’ is much more direct and intensive. You can be sure he has switched into sports mode. The V8 engine of his Infiniti FX50 draws 390 PS from 5.0-litre of capacity and its maximum torque of

A distinctive elegance in the cit y that deploys all its capabilities in the mountains – whether it’s a new restaurant you’re trying out, a business meeting you’re rushing to, or a ski trip you’re taking with your family, with the Infiniti G you’ll arrive in st yle.
Designed to go beyond machine, the G37 holds the imprint of a life force. 3.7 l VVEL engine, 235 kW/320 PS output, 360 Nm torque
Elegance matters While the sleek elegance of the Infiniti G discreetly blends into any modern urban landscape, the intricate craftsmanship gives it an almost organic appearance – full of nuance, warmth, intelligence and precision. There is the sporty wave of the bonnet, visually alluding to the powerful V6 VVEL engine within, the lightness of the Katana sword inspired front grille and the distinctive bumper that gracefully flows out of the lines of the hood and body – while the G’s low centre of gravity and front mid-ship platform exude a reassuring aura of stability and maximum agility.

It’s 4:00 a.m. The desert darkness shimmers eerily in the moonlight. I’m driving swiftly, sure of my path thanks to the bi-Xenon Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), which precisely swivels the head-lights dynamically to my direction, steering angle and speed. I’m not exactly sure where I’m headed, but the front midship Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) platform catapults me forwards with such confidence, and the smooth, linear feeling of the steering feels so natural, it almost seems like home turf.

I am gaining on the rider. In the faint glow of the coming day, I recognise a woman’s shape beneath the robes. She is veiled, but I remember the eyes – I saw them last evening at an Embassy reception. My pulse races as she turns her head away and gallops out of sight over a ridge. Too absorbed in the chase to delegate affairs to the 7-speed automatic transmission, I intuitively apply the magnesium paddle shifts on the steering wheel, Downshift Rev Matching (DRM) ensuring a smooth and swift gear change as I begin a steep ascent.

Fair play: here the pole position is not restricted to the front row.
I catch sight of her again. In an adventurous feat of horsemanship, she charges ahead. We’re neck and neck now, but she’s ignoring me as we mount the crest of a hill. I slam on the 355 mm sports brakes and the 4-piston opposed callipers bring me to a prompt and controlled halt. I jump out as she leaps to the ground. The first ray of the golden sunrise sparkles in her eyes. As if in unison, we turn to the east. It’s dawn, and she’s all mine.

G Cabrio – Grace In All Circumstances Mel Gee Hendersen is an unusual woman with an adventurous soul, who has made a career out of her passion: she travels the globe for the T V series “Escapeseeker” to get a unique perspective on the world’s most beautiful and exotic pl aces. Is it any wonder she would choose to drive an extraordinary car?

But also, adds Mel, because of its “gorgeous, dignified beauty, like Grace Kelly”. Indeed, the designers of the convertible have made no compromises with regards to beauty – most notably, the ingenuous 3-piece folding metal roof which tucks away almost magically behind the rear seats. And because the car looks just as great when the top is up, you could even mistake it for a coupé.
