2012 Infiniti M Hybrid Review

"The hybrid drivers" Infiniti, Infiniti M35h, presents the first in the world and the braking control technologies when it goes on sale in the U.S. and Europe in 2012. Debut systems are designed to provide both environmental benefits and improve the driving experience, to reinforce the strengths in key M35h Infiniti's innovative single engine / dual-clutch system.

Like the powertrain, which marries a V6 gasoline engine with charismatic 50 kW (68 hp) electric motor integrated into the 7-speed automatic transmission, simplicity is a key principle in developing the direction and the brakes on the high performance luxury sedan.

 

The Infiniti M35h management is an electro-hydraulic "on demand" for help. It offers the advantages of both types of leadership - the natural feel and smooth steering and better fuel efficiency of a power system - cutting the engine when the wheel turns, even more efficient. The system is smaller than conventional power steering set-up, a feat accomplished by the integration of several parts.

The brakes are designed primarily to meet the buyers of sport sedans, "but also contributes to low carbon Hyundai M35h, low CO2 champion of All-new Hyundai sedan range M-line.

 

Engineers for the hybrid system's own solution. What happened - a way to use the unit of power motor vehicles to operate the brake cylinders - is another world first innovation for the Japanese.

The system is called smart electrical braking Driven. When the driver presses the brake pedal, braking force, while maintaining the hydraulic pressure is controlled friction brake to help maximize the recovery of energy from the hybrid engine. Because of its simple structure, in which the engine runs directly the brake cylinders, driven intelligent electric braking has the potential to be a key component of all hybrids direct response Infiniti's future.

 

The simplicity of these elegant mechanical solutions, with their emphasis on smaller, lighter and fewer parts that are made possible by a sophisticated computer control.

Another advantage of the management of both new and brake systems is that they work with the innovative powertrain to enhance the driving experience rather than dilute it as some hybrid cars. Designed to be fast and responsive with a strong penchant for handling propulsion sport Hyundai M35h designed to provide an exciting driving in all situations.

 

Central to this is the only engine / two clutch system. The first clutch is mounted between the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 and electric motor, which is incorporated in the automatic transmission. The electronically controlled clutch allows the decoupling of the V6 when the vehicle is in electric drives and power regeneration modes. V6 decoupling reduces drag and improves the mechanical efficiency of the electric motor.

 

 

 

Helped by an unusually rapid charge / discharge response of lithium ions, the result is an electrically powered hybrid that was longer and faster than conventional hybrids.

 

But when the driver requires Infiniti M35h acts like a powerful machine, which provides linear acceleration and without blemish to rear wheel drive Infiniti managing real - complete with all the charisma of a big V6 petrol engine. As a 7-speed Adaptive Shift (ASC), an automatic transmission that the accelerator is down screens change, new brakes and steering technologies are an integral part M35h Infiniti hybrid positioning to meet the most demanding drivers.

 

Infiniti's first hybrid, the M35h is the star of some CO2 from the line of the new M, which also includes models of gasoline and diesel, and is the first time, millions of dollars to be sold in all 34 of markets Infiniti world.

 

Infiniti M among many other claims to fame is the first intervention Blind Spot (BSI), state-of-the-art forest climate control and active noise control, while the comfort and luxury is taken into load with dual-piston shock absorbers and the availability of semi-aniline leather in the spacious interior.

2011 Infiniti Coupe Review

The Infiniti G37 Coupé offers dramatic performance in an attractive form of ownership. Although they share most of the material with the Infiniti G37 sedan, the coupe is designed to appeal to different buyers.

The dynamic styling allied to its obvious performance potential will appeal to people who appreciate good design and enjoy beautiful driving. They are not inclined to follow the herd ... and they may not even running a coupe.

"The typical buyer of the Infiniti G37 Coupe is slightly younger than four-door buyer, but no less demanding. He is one who appreciates quality but wants to make a statement even stronger," said Jim Wright, Vice President, Infiniti Europe .

"Infiniti G37 Coupé buyer might be a driver coupe, but it is equally likely to own property or sport compact SUV."

When not in an Infiniti G37 Coupe, it will find the exterior design is matched by a refined interior. And when he starts the engine, he will find a true performance car that delivers what it promises. The maximum speed is limited to 250 km / h (155 mph) for 0-100 km / h takes only 5.8 seconds (on M / T version).

There are three versions of the Infiniti G37 Coupe offers - a well-equipped G37 Coupe, more luxurious GT version with leather interior, and sports-oriented in the S version is equipped with 4-Wheel Active Steer system, viscous limited slip differential (VLSD) and sports suspension among other changes.

 

"Infiniti G37 Coupé takes the best of the four-door and adds even more. This is a car designed to appeal to the emotions, but it offers a practical level, as well," says Bastien Schupp, Marketing Director, Infiniti Europe.

Exterior design

A long hood, short overhangs and dramatically sloping roof line give the Infiniti G37 Coupé a silhouette that sets it apart from competing products based more on their sedan counterparts.

Designed for modern sports car without compromise, the Infiniti G37 Coupé has elegant and sophisticated proportions allied expressive, curved shoulder line gives a sense of movement while seated. A roof line as short and as low also helps to highlight the Coupe and the low center of gravity to give a clear indication that this is essentially a rear-wheel drive vehicles.

The curved lines "character" on the front of the car mimic the lines of the front wings and help give the Coupé a more athletic and aggressive, while the aluminum hood contains a wave-style natural power dome to Clearly the strength of this below.

A special production process has been developed for the installation of the headlights to ensure tight tolerances and build a precise fit into the complex front fascia.

 

Thank you to the shorter body, shoulders at the back Coupé is even more muscular than the sedan, while the integrated rear spoiler is more pronounced. The jewel-like taillights feature LED lamps to reinforce the high-tech appeal of the coupe.

The indoor environment

The Infiniti G37 Coupe offers sporty driving environment for the driver and opening a luxury for the passengers. The dashboard and center console with color display seven-inch adopts Infiniti design DNA with a top section "double wave" linked to a central vertical spine for a solid feel. Aluminum inserts textured finish can be found in the center console, instrument panel and interior door panels.

 

His door trim graceful curve were inspired by traditional Japanese ceremonial swords while the trim cut is inspired by the Japanese washi handmade paper. Other signature Infiniti features are the elegant analogue clock on the dashboard and purple backlighting of instruments and controls.

With its long wheelbase, there is room for two adults in the back of the easy access and exit doors open wide and bending electric front seats and slides. Convenience and load the Infiniti G37 Coupé is further improved by folding the rear seats

Engine and powertrain

Last Infiniti 3.7-liter V6 is a powerful recovery, high, 24-valve twin cam unit producing 235 kW at 7000 rpm (320 hp) and an impressive 360 ​​Nm of torque at 5200 rpm.

Constructed of lightweight aluminum, the engine has a bed in the construction of two plates, which is more rigid than a single piece casting for reduced levels of vibration. It also allows the continued use at higher revs: the V6 is red-lined at 7,500 rpm.

The VQ37 unit features VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology to maximize efficiency and, in turn, the balance between power, response, fuel consumption and emissions.

By continually altering valve lift and therefore the amount of air in the combustion chamber, which provides a more powerful combustion phase to increase torque and horsepower. Best of all, such as control valves in consumption rather than a conventional butterfly, response to throttle inputs is immediate. VVEL improves fuel economy and reduces emissions compared to standard systems of valve lift.

Precise mapping of the ECU, meanwhile, helps the engine provide a progressive increase in horsepower and torque, providing a 'building wave' of acceleration rather than a peaky power delivery.

It offers a top speed of 250 km / h (155 mph) and 0-100 km / h (0-62 mph) taking 5.8 seconds (M / T model). Combined fuel economy cycle is 10.5 l/100 km (26.9 mpg), while the CO2 figure is 249 Coupe g / km. The engine is fully compliant with Euro 5 emission requirements.

 

With the performance profile Coupe, Infiniti engineers have developed a special soundtrack music for the car. Equal length tubular exhaust manifolds and a symmetrical exhaust and silencer system have allowed engineers to create a smooth linear sound balance between the notes high and low frequencies.

And good transmission shift six-speed manual, Hyundai Coupe G37 is available with a new seven-speed automatic option with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and magnesium paddles mounted behind the wheel.

Chassis and driving dynamics

Infiniti G37 Coupé uses the second-generation version of Infiniti FM platform. The location of the "front midship" engine sees the compact V6 mounted in the front of the car, but as low and as far as possible, with most of the block behind the front axle line. The result of the reduction in the center of gravity and can deliver in front of the optimal weight on the rear.

The fully independent suspension uses lightweight aluminum components to reduce weight as much as possible. A double wishbone front and multi-link arrangement mounted a cradle to the back ally with a highly rigid body, the Infiniti G37 Coupé agile handling perfectly compatible with its performance potential.

All versions of the Infiniti G37 Coupe equipped with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), while the steering four ventilated disc brakes have a four-channel, four sensor anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brake force distribution ( EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) by default.

 

To improve the feel of braking, the Infiniti G37 Coupé uses a 'link-design' pedal which becomes progressively firmer as g-forces and increases the speed of the vehicle. As a result, the driver a more direct sense of the forces acting on the car as high-speed brakes, and for the benefit of increased assistance. At lower speeds the brake is easier to use, but with more travel relative to assistance.

The steering system is a vehicle speed sensor type with a double-orifice structure, which provides optimum steering effort at low speeds and high.

G37S Sport oriented version has a number of changes to the chassis, in accordance with its sharp profile. The biggest improvement is the addition of the 4-Wheel Active Steer (4WAS), which helps improve processing performance even more by varying the front steering ratio and adjusting the rear suspension geometry for the input direction and speed of the vehicle.

Other standard features of the G37S include a viscous limited-slip differential, recalibrated suspension settings and an enhanced braking system with four piston brakes in front and two rear piston.

No tire pressure monitoring system standard on both 19-inch light alloy wheels sport bikes.

The biggest opportunity is the new seven-speed automatic with manual mode and magnesium paddle shifters, which allows the driver to the transmission without releasing their hands from the steering wheel. With its additional forward gear, the new automatic transmission wider dissemination of the reports for the benefit of fuel consumption and handling. The seventh speed is effectively an overdrive ratio, returning improved fuel economy on a constant acceleration without compromising flexibility in gear for overtaking. The crossing points are tuned to keep the engine in most of the torque curve, ensuring there is always a healthy reserve when the driver wants to overtake. Adaptive Shift Control link (ASC) system switches between three different programs based on feedback of the major control systems throughout the car.

 

Other options include Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), which uses brake sensors, gas and laser to help maintain a fixed distance between the Infiniti G37 Coupe and the car ahead. In the automatic transmission, reduces the workload of the driver software provides even more of the ICC to work from 0 km / h to 180 km / h thanks to "Full Speed ​​Range" feature. An integral part of the option ICC for models A / T, the braking system with intelligent analysis of closing speed of a vehicle until help reduce the damage caused by a rear impact. If the driver needs to take action immediately to avoid a collision, the system warns the pilot quickly or can even activate the brakes to slow the vehicle.

A custom designed Bose ® sets a new standard for performance in a car stereo. Its 11 high performance speakers provide crisp musical detail, with notes percussive bass bringing G Coupé owners closer to the power and emotion of a live concert. To achieve this, Bose ® engineers used proprietary digital signal processing and multiple channels of custom equalization to help adjust the sound specifically for the vehicle.

2011 Infiniti Etherea Review

Making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011 Motor Etherea reinvents the concept of compact Infiniti luxury car for a new generation of demanding younger buyers, while offering a vision of future Infiniti European range in Congress different challenges reached the mark in the compact segment for the first time.

"Ether is a new type of luxury," said Toru Saito, Corporate Vice President and Head of Business Unit Global Infiniti.

"And 'for young buyers who want a smaller version of the luxury cars typically conservative and traditional. There are people who want a car that defines who they are, not who their parents were."

Encapsulation of everything that the Infiniti is - even without hybrid compromise and maximum driving pleasure - in the car long 4.4, Etherea Infiniti concept offers a completely new approach to the premium compact class. Dynamic character and very sculptural, close to the amount of mono-form silhouette to provide a moment of class.

"Etherea is completely different from today's compact luxury car," said senior vice president of design, Shiro Nakamura. "It is appropriate for a new generation of drivers who are considered different.

"Because the exploration of what the future may be entry-level Infiniti Infiniti Concept Etherea is a very significant step forward, and what Infiniti is thinking for you."

Bancon, general manager of exploratory and advanced product, said: "We believe the market - and buyers of compact cars - is ready for a car like this, especially in Europe as a means of identifying its owner as a progressive, confident. and a little off the beaten track, Infiniti Etherea concept fits well with what Hyundai is all about. "

Performance

Concept Infiniti Etherea segment-busting action is based on the combination of various styles of vehicles. It is part of an elegant coupe, part of a large sedan, the practical part of the saloon, and also part of a high crossover. And Infiniti is also a great way to help a sports car to drive it.

Like all Infiniti Etherea brings pleasure riding high on the side of the designer. The concept car was designed for a powerful but highly efficient hybrid drive based on building an innovative platform, and an electric motor / dual-clutch system is used in M35h Infiniti brand hybrids currently on sale first in Europe.

Supercharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 245 hp offers a rapid response and strong acceleration throughout the power range. Flow velocity, when the need for more and provides a quiet, emission-free driving at low speeds, the electric motor. The continuously variable transmission (CVT), the type and Infiniti is the first drive the front wheels.

How M35h, the hybrid drive is designed to use clean electricity to more frequent, longer and high-speed hybrids usually be treated, adding benefits Etherea Hybrid Concept Infiniti from the open road and the busy streets. This maximizes efficiency and further reduce CO2 emissions without compromising driving under the imposing front.

Independent suspension, regenerative braking and advanced drive-by-wire electric / hydraulic to further strengthen the balance between performance and the countryside.

Design

Designed in Japan under the direction of Shiro Nakamura, Etherea is more sedan than coupe-inspired, with many flourishes Infiniti first considered the concept supercar Essence. But Hyundai profile Etherea elegant concept is not at the expense of functionality. Despite appearances, Etherea boasts a large tailgate lift.

Recovery house developed platform for Infiniti, a long wheelbase, minimal overhangs ensures a visual feature of the Infiniti balance and sportsmanship. Hood may not be until the Infiniti rear-wheel drive, but the proportions are just as well be evaluated and the appearance of a well-balanced, Crescent only the C-pillar offers a dynamic and original, the Infiniti signature.

The spacious four-seater cabin offers all the luxury Infiniti owners expect, plus unmatched ease of access and egress, driven by the H-point is greater than the average car luxury compact. Four wide doors, rear-hinged back, and no B-pillar provides a sense of unprecedented scale.

Infiniti design language family has evolved to meet the challenge of the concept car. The headlights, for example, define the Infiniti "face" more clearly than ever. With a subtle curve, lamps include daytime running lights formed a crescent of light emitting diodes. Now, new lights are destined to become a familiar feature Infiniti.

"Other elements of exterior design and interior craftsmanship began to have an important influence on future production models," said Shiro Nakamura.

The project manager and outside designer, Endo said Giichi Etherea can be summarized as a "four-door coupe with five-door convenience. - A sedan that does not look like a sedan" was the key management architecture new Front wheel drive - all very different from the rear-wheel drive FM platform, the Infiniti designers are accustomed to working with - Infiniti to give the traditional "attractive chandelier" for the design, while providing the roomy car key in the Class 4.4 million.

Wide doors, rear doors hinged at the rear, and the B-pillar, the center has been the idea of ​​being able to make the inside of the car can open and inviting. Access is further facilitated the height of the car. Etherea Infiniti concept is a crossover, but the driver H (hip) point higher than a normal car compact, does not suggest an easy and dominant position, separating the Infiniti FX. The designers talked about the body slightly elevated, "uplifting".

The front of Etherea Infiniti concept offers a unique sound. In a design that instantly connects with the rest of the family line up is headed by Infiniti grill hood deep. An updated version of the Infiniti family design finish double arch mesh transparent network is fully functional and highly artistic.

Shiro Nakamura, says in the profile there is a suggestion of a mono-volume design - very different from current pretenders to the compact luxury segment.

Nakamura is a highlight of the project, however, an area around the base of the pillars - as he says, one of the most difficult of the designer to obtain the right of any car. In Etherea, this area is done in a style unlike any other car - with the exception of Essence, which in turn a source of inspiration. The key to making it work is an exaggerated length of the front fender that extends from the column, well-sculpted planes converge. Fourth pillar of a small window provides a clear picture out. It makes everything a modern and innovative design injects energy to the entire car.

Comfort, space and Crafts

As this front-drive platform design options for a new Hyundai out, so also to adopt a bold new approach in the cabin. With its flat floor and an opening welcome Hyundai Concept Etherea interior designed for comfort and space while the luxury and craftsmanship Hyundai buyers expect. As Bancon says: "Your first experience of premium luxury car should feel like that."

The B-pillar-less and open the front door of the cabin and offers you easy access and great quality of life. In the absence of transmission tunnel and a flat floor, welcoming the opening of the cabin Etherea covers the entire car, not elegantly slim consolation among the four squares to act as arms and internal controls.

Like all the driving position is sporty Infiniti. The control layout is very focused on the driver, but not in a way that excludes passengers. This is a concept that can be luxurious and sporty all share. For example, the center of the dashboard has two screens, as easy access for front seat passengers of the driver. The lower screen, closer to a touch screen to control functions such as climate control and entertainment, while below the screen is only used to display information.

"Hamon" is the Japanese word for the rings of the dashboard. It refers to ripples on a lake that radiates outward when a stone is thrown into the water. The same call, liabilities, they radiate from the central tachometer. This is an elegant and ergonomic.

Harmonic structure and materials are essential to the interior Infiniti Concept Etherea, as are all the Infiniti. Features are the time of its debut Etherea Kumihimo, kimono-inspired piping on the seats, and Inuyarai, striking vertical strips inside the gates. Etherea is also the first occurrence of the latest Infiniti crops, parchment style paper version of the end of the famous Japanese Washi. The new finish called Kasane-Washi, and introduces a new way of layering of paper, to improve its structure. The craftsmanship in the concept Infiniti Etherea is inspired by the Japanese culture, and reinterpreted through the latest technology.

Because the study of the future entry-level model for the production of the Infiniti, Etherea off segments of the market today and shows that the Infiniti, which allows the alliance, is seriously in competition as well as a compact luxury and Europe.

Francois counter said: "Etherea is a re-definition, not a revolution - a car buyers whose idea of ​​luxury is a very different stereotypes Etherea Infiniti concept of stereotype there a limit is just a sign of identity and It adds personality, the new values, as well as to transmit the old'..... MORE than anything else, is not only a compact luxury car. "
