The third generation Infiniti M was revealed at the 2009 Pebble
Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. Designed to enter service
as a 2011 model the new M model is the first to be sold across
all of Infiniti's 32 markets around the world, including Western
Europe.
The 2011 Infiniti M will be available with V8 and V6 engines.
The models will be designated the Infiniti M56 and Infiniti
M37 respectively, reflecting their more powerful, larger displacement
engines. The M56 V8 is expected to offer more than 400 horsepower.
For Western Europe, the M56 will be replaced by a V6 performance
diesel. Despite improved performance from the new engine lineup,
fuel consumption will be reduced.
The 2011 Infiniti M also features a completely redesigned body,
which easily matches the competion for style. The curvaceous
lines even have a touch of Italian glamour about them. This
new Infiniti design language follows the example laid out by
the Infiniti Essence concept car.
As expected, the interior of the 2011 Infiniti M features luxurious
components including; innovative materials, an advanced climate
control system, and a quality audio system. The vehicle is also
equipped with a blind spot intervention system. This industry-first
system is designed to help alert the driver if another vehicle
is detected in an adjacent lane during an intended lane change,
and then help assist the driver in returning the vehicle toward
the center of the original lane of travel.
