Seductive styling, awesome power, advanced technology and new concepts in comfort—the advance buzz on the G Coupe has us all on pins and needles!

At its New York Auto Show debut, the 2008 Infiniti G37 was breathtakingly beautiful, a design exercise in seduction and power. It’s been months since that first glimpse, but the real G Coupe is on its way. Here’s what we know:

The G37 Coupe exterior design features flowing front fender curves, a wave-style hood, smooth front fascia with Infiniti's signature double-arch grille and L-shaped headlights. The side character line and side sills as well as large wheel and tire packages transmit an added sense of power and vibrancy.

Leading the enhancements to the G37 Coupe is the first-ever application of the new 3.7-liter V6 engine with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift). Estimated at 330 horsepower and 270 lb/ft of torque, the specially-tuned engine is even more powerful than that introduced in the 2007 G35 Sedan last year. A new, specially-tuned dual exhaust system has been designed with equal length exhaust manifolds and low muffler exhaust backpressure to help improve engine breathing. Both intake and exhaust enhance driving pleasure with their authentic performance notes. This power plant also features Infiniti's trademark "Swell" acceleration – introduced on the new G Sedan last year – with special tuning that builds horsepower almost continually to the redline like a building wave

The engine is teamed with either an upgraded electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission with available paddle shifters, or a significantly revised and more refined six-speed manual transmission.

The G37 Coupe's enhanced platform and chassis also includes an available advanced 4-Wheel Active Steer system (4WAS), which helps improve vehicle handling performance by adjusting both the front steering gear ratios and the rear suspension geometry according to steering input and vehicle speed. Braking and handling is targeted to be among the best in the luxury sport coupe class with large 14-inch, four-piston ventilated discs up front.

Inside, Infiniti has achieved a hand-crafted look throughout the all-new cabin, including the use of unique “tactile” materials such as aluminum with a rice paper look and feel. The new G Coupe also includes an extensive list of available technological features – a touch screen navigation system with XM® NavTraffic™ real-time traffic function, RearView Monitor and an available 11-speaker Infiniti "Studio on Wheels"™ by Bose® audio system with 24-bit Burr Brown digital audio controller, three-way door speaker arrays with 10-inch door-mounted woofers and a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive.

The instrument panel features Infiniti electroluminescent instrumentation with white-and-violet illumination and an integrated multi-function information drive computer display. Drivers grip a double hand-stitched leather-covered steering wheel, designed for maximum comfort and usability with wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls. Available genuine magnesium paddle shifters for the five-speed automatic transmission fall readily to hand and add control.

The 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe is available in three models: G37 Coupe, G37 Coupe Journey and G37 Coupe Sport 6MT.

If the dish on the G has captured your imagination, by all indications, it will be worth the wait.
