2013 Infiniti IPL G Convertible - Car and Driver
The Infiniti Performance Line was launched late last year with but a single model, a sharpened and slightly more powerful version of the G37 coupe called the IPL G coupe . In August, Infiniti showed us what an IPL G convertible would look like... Now Infiniti has debuted the production IPL G for extroverts at the 2011 Los Angeles auto show. Like the IPL G coupe, the 2013 IPL G convertible adds a pinch of this and a dash of that to deliver what Infiniti calls “total vehicle performance” when compared with the standard G37 convertible. The interior is likewise limited to two colors—Stone and Monaco Red—and features red-stitched leather upholstery, “Silk Obi” aluminum trim, aluminum-capped pedals, and IPL-embroidered seatbacks and front floor mats. IPL’s efforts to recalibrate the G’s VQ-series 3. 7-liter V-6 and fitment of a true dual exhaust system yield the same boost in output as found with the IPL G coupe, adding 18 hp and 6 lb-ft of torque. the only transmission offered is Infiniti’s seven-speed automatic, which comes with magnesium shift paddles affixed to the steering column. The IPL G convertible rides on a retuned suspension featuring unique shocks and front and rear springs that are stiffer. Source: www.caranddriver.com
