G37 Convertible Expected as 2009 Model
« on: May 08, 2008, 12:59:06 AM »

The 2009 G37 Convertible will be inspired by the 2008 G37 Coupe version; this means it will combine the same exhilarating performance, stunning styling and modern, sporty interior of the original Infiniti G Coupe.

Under the hood of the Convertible version we will see a 3.7 liter V6 engine with an output of 330 hp and a peak torque of 269 lbs-ft. The engine will be matted with a a choice of an upgraded electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, downshift rev matching, DS mode and ASC (Adaptive Shift Control) that allows for quicker shifts in sporty driving situations and available genuine magnesium paddle shifters; or a newly revised, lightweight 6-speed manual transmission.

The G37 Convertible will be build on the FM (Front Mid-ship) platform, which has been stiffened 36% from the previous generation, is lower in overall height and has a wider front and rear track width.

Also there are rumors that Infiniti is working on a more powerful version of the G37: an all-wheel drive, twin-turbocharged version that will have an output of 500 hp. This mean that the 2009 G37 will be even more powerful like a GT-R. So, it will reach at least a top speed of 185 mph and the 0 to 60 mph sprint will be made in less than 4 seconds.

Like the Coupe, the Convertible version will be offered in three different versions: standard, Journey and Sport. The most powerful, and of course the most expensive will be the the Sport version. It will feature 19" wheels, Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD), sport-tuned suspension, sport brakes, unique front fascia and side sills, sport-styled seats and steering wheel stitching.

I would not get a convertible, but that is one terrific looking car.

I'm not enthusiastic about the convertible.  I'm dreading it'll definitely take away the remaining bits of sportiness and push the car up to 3900-4000 lbs.

I'd much rather see them redesign the crash sides, get the car back to 3500 lbs like the previous gen coupe, and add a glass roof like the concept.  Even the new Mustang gets a glass roof option.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are crash sides? Smiley

Spokesman Kyle Bazemore said that a soft top was never a consideration, given the G37's formidable European competition. The Infiniti convertible is expected to go on sale in February 2009. Look for the G37 convertible to make its formal debut at an auto show sometime in the fall, although Infiniti has not decided exactly which show will be most appropriate for the unveiling at this point.

The company also has not yet determined pricing on the G37 convertible.
