Test drive Infiniti G37 sedan since 2008 sedan
Spring glamor
Infiniti G37. Price: from 1 687 280 rub. On sale: March 2008 With the advent of spring, manufacturers are in a hurry to please customers with sports news. The Infiniti premium marke, which a year ago at the Motor Show in New York, introduced the G37 compartment, this spring, at the same time with Europe, the start of the sale of this new product in Russia
A bright, beautiful, rapidly moving car attracts a lot of interested and envious glances. Yes, the Infiniti G37 sports coupe is released in a gray stream. The coupe was a continuation of the G35 sedan, as the general design solutions are talking about. If we talk about individuality, then first of all it is worth noting, as it were, inflated wings, the rear spoiler and thresholds. The salon, trimmed with skin and solid plastic, retained the luxury of the sedan. Central console and inserts on the doors
made of aluminum. Both the driver and the front passenger will easily find a convenient position. At the back of the place is also quite enough. Two adults of the average complexion will easily be swayed there. The only thing is not so simple to penetrate the second row of seats. But the compartment does not happen otherwise. The fact that you are in the cabin of a sports car are made to understand seats with severe lateral support, aluminum pedal overlays and steering wheel petals for manual gear shifts. The engine starts is carried out by the Start/Stop button. The revived car rumbling quite a exhaust of the V-shaped six. True, when closed windows, noise insulation in Infiniti G37 at the highest level will not be able to hear this. It is worth noting that the G37 exhaust system is two equivalent exhaust collectors with a reduced anti -exhaust gas gas station at the output. As a result, the engine is easier to breathe, it works smoother and sounds great.
We transfer the automatic transmission lever into mode D. The car is without delay, but quite evenly responds to press the gas pedal. With intensive use of the accelerator, the machine quickly goes to the lower gear, which is why acceleration occurs more actively. True, I don’t want to go in this mode for a long time. The translation of the gearbox lever to position S changes the character of the car. The reactions to the pedal become faster, and the gears are unscrewed to 7500 min-1. The manual mode is slightly different from the automatic option. With a car weight of two tons, the dynamics Infiniti G37 is unlikely to upset even a picky driver. Acceleration up to 100 km/h occurs in 6 seconds. The reason for this result lies in the motorized engineers. They took the unit from the G35 as the basis, increasing the volume to 3.7 liters. In addition, hydraulic control systems were used by the gas distribution mechanism and
electronic control of the opening angles of inlet valves (abbreviated VVL). Due to this, it was possible to increase the engine power to 333 hp, increase the moment to 363 nm, as well as reduce fuel consumption and, as a result, the release of harmful substances. In addition to the introduction of various systems, changes are made to the design of the engine. For example, the height of the cylinder block, the diameter of the indigenous neck of the crankshaft and studs are increased. A step crankcase and a double detonation sensor are used. Moving at the Infiniti G37 compartment, you constantly feel that you are driving a quick, but heavy car. The forces of inertia do not disappear anywhere, but the abundance of auxiliary systems helps to somehow reduce them. The first steering wheel. It is dense, even a little heavy, has a good feedback. A two -channel hydraulic amplifier with a progressive force was used depending on speed. The second suspension. The rolls, even when passing steep turns at high speed, are minimal. It was possible to achieve this by installing a multi -leaf suspension on the car in front and behind. To reduce weight and effective extinguishing unwanted fluctuations, part of the suspension parts are made of aluminum.
The Infiniti G37 compartment is proposed in two trim levels, the main difference of which is the presence in a more expensive version of the steering system of all four wheels (4WAS). It is difficult to notice its work in the movement, but the activity of the system is aimed at increasing controllability. This happens automatically. The electronic control unit 4was, depending on the speed and rotation of the steering wheel, changes the gear number of the steering and the geometry of the rear suspension using built -in drive mechanisms. But this seemed a little to the engineers. The G37 in the basic configuration is equipped with a self -locking differential with a clip of viscosity (VLSD). When maneuvering, this helps to maintain a given trajectory. 
Having made sure that the Infiniti G37 premium capacity would go rapidly, the engineers were also worried about effective brake indicators. Pressing on the pedal is accompanied by intensive slowdown. All brake discs are ventilated. The diameter of the front is 355 mm, and the rear 350 mm. For better heat transfer, the calipers are made of aluminum alloy. And for greater effects of braking in front, they are four -piston, and two -piston -piston. Infiniti G37 is expensive. But the car looks really cool. And the power also obliges him to treat him very seriously. Increased attention to this bright car is provided, though not everyone will be able to clearly see a rapidly racing car
In a new way The Infiniti G37 compartment has a modern 3.7 liter engine with a capacity of 330 hp. The donor for this motor was an unit with a volume of 3.5 liters installed on the sedan. In the new motor, the VVEL system with hydraulic controls of the gas distribution mechanism and electronic control of the opening angles of inlet valves is used. Due to this, it was possible to increase the power compared to the younger brother, with a decrease in fuel consumption and the release of harmful substances.
Driving
Thanks to the abundance of various Infiniti G37 systems, he rides and controlled perfectly. True, the mass of the car sometimes makes itself felt.
Salon
As befits a premium car, the IHFINITI G37 salon is replete with luxurious materials.
Comfort You can’t call the G37 compartment, so in the cabin there will be enough space not only with front passengers, but also to those who make up the second row. Two there is quite comfortable.
Security
The car is crammed with various passive and active safety systems. In front and back of the body, there are programmed deformation areas in case of an accident.
Price
Having spent money on this compartment, you can count on increased attention from others. But they will not always be able to clearly see a quick rushing car.
Advantages and disadvantages
+ Comfortable suspension, informative steering wheel, modern motor and transmission.
- Light weight, imperfect visibility of back.

Our opinion
Engineers and designers, as always, very seriously approached the creation of the next news of Infiniti. The G37 premium coupe looks great, has a solid salon and good dynamic indicators. Various modern systems found a place in the car. A powerful motor and a smart suspension allow you to ride this rather big compartment very quickly and confidently.
