Overview

Released in December 2012, the Infiniti V36 G Coupe was a luxury coupe. Manufactured in Tochigi, Japan, the rear-wheel drive G Coupe range consisted of the G37 model which was powered by a 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine. The VQ37VHR V6 engine had an aluminium block and heads, double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and Nissan’s VVEL (‘Variable Valve Event and Lift’) system which combined hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically-controlled variable valve lift on the intake side. Furthermore, the engine was mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with a ‘Drive Sport’ (DS) Mode and Downshift Rev Matching.

The V36 G Coupe was based on Nissan’s FM platform which was shared with the Infiniti V36 G Convertible , Nissan V36 Skyline and Z34 370Z . As such, the G37 Coupe was 4655 mm long, 1820 mm wide, 1387 mm tall and had a 2850 mm long wheelbase.

The G37 Coupe had double wishbone front suspension and subframe-mounted multi-link rear suspension; S Premium variants were also fitted with four-wheel active steering (Infiniti’s ‘4WAS’).

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the G37 Coupe included dual front airbags, front side airbags, full-length curtain airbags, ABS, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, active front seat head restraints and front seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters. The G37 Coupe was also fitted with a pop-up bonnet which, in the event of a pedestrian collision, used a pyrotechnic charge to raise the trailing edge of the bonnet to create a larger buffer between the bonnet and the top of the engine.

Brakes

The G37 GT Premium had 320 mm ventilated front brake discs and 308 mm ventilated rear brake discs. The S Premium, however, had 355 mm ventilated front brake discs with four-piston aluminium calipers and 350 mm ventilated rear discs with two-piston aluminium calipers.

Features

Standard features for GT Premium variants included 18-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels with 225/50 R18 front and 245/45 R18 rear tyres, an eleven speaker Bose sound system with a CD player, MP3/WMA compatibility, a 10GB hard-drive, Bluetooth audio streaming and auxiliary inputs (3.5 mm/USB/iPod), a satellite navigation system with a seven-inch colour touch screen, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, a ten-way power adjustable driver’s seat, an eight-way power adjustable front passenger seat, leather seat trim, heated front seats, cruise control, front fog lights, bi-xenon headlights with washers and adaptive front lighting, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, flat folding rear seats, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, remote central locking, power windows and heated mirrors, a power adjustable steering wheel (tilt and telescopic), driver memory settings (seat, steering wheel and mirrors), two 12 volt power outlets, a glass sunroof with a sliding shade and an immobiliser.

The S Premium variants were further equipped with 19-inch five triple-spoke alloy wheels with 225/45 R19 front and 245/40 R19 rear tyres, sports suspension, front sports seats with thigh extensions, a fourteen-way power adjustable driver’s seat and tyre pressure monitoring; the S Premium variants were also fitted with a viscous limited slip rear differential and a rear spoiler.
