Infiniti just released a sketch on its Facebook page of the electric sports car that it's been promising. And if you squint, it kind of looks like the Essence Coupe concept. The only clear thing in the photo is the Infiniti logo, which gives plenty of wiggle room for it to look pretty much like any (and every) coupe.

From Infiniti's Facebook page:

It's a big news day at Infiniti. First off, we're excited to share with you a sketch of the forthcoming Infiniti EV zero emissions vehicle, coming in 2013. Second, the IPL G Convertible … Read more

With the G37's powerful engine and sharp handling, first-rate cabin electronics, and excellent-sounding Bose audio system there was little not to like about the car. Being able to drop the top and go cruising on sunny California coastal highways seemed about as good as it gets.

Yet not everything was perfect with the Infiniti G37 Convertible. Compared to other cars with retractable hard tops, the G37's is dead slow. And while we are used to seeing trunks filled up with folded roof panels, there was only a bare sliver of space left over in the trunk of the … Read more

Although few details have been released, Infiniti made pictures available of its long-rumored M hybrid sedan, which will be unveiled at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. The car enters production in 2011 as the 2012 Infiniti M35 Hybrid.

The body style for the M35 Hybrid is the same as the new generation Infiniti M sedan, which we reviewed as the 2011 M56. With its graceful curves and interior appointments, the new M takes a step toward flagship sedan status, but still feels a bit small when compared to stalwarts such as the Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-class.

In the automotive world, performance lines abound. BMW builds M cars, Mercedes-Benz offers AMG versions of its cars, and Audi puts the RS badge on a few models. Even Lexus got into the game recently with the F version of the IS model.

Among the luxury brands, only Infiniti remained immune from building tuner versions of its cars. Until now.

Enter the Infiniti G37 IPL, being shown for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The newly introduced performance brand, IPL, stands for Infiniti Performance Line, and uses, in our opinion, a very un-Infiniti-like graphic design.

While its electric compact nears production, Nissan also plans to produce an electric sports car bearing the Infiniti badge.

Sources told Edmunds Inside Line that the carmaker is considering either an all-electric 370Z-E or an electric version of the Essence Coupe, the concept hybrid it revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. All that has been confirmed by Nissan in previous news statements about its future electric vehicle plans is that the car will be a "stylish, compact, high-performance four-seat luxury Infiniti with zero emissions."

For many years, there was little to distinguish Infiniti's G and M sedans. The new generation of M, however, looks a little more stately, and with more refinement might compete with flagship sedans from the likes of Mercedes-Benz or Lexus.

The new M56x uses a much bigger engine than was previously available, and brings in a multitude of driver assistance technologies, some of which we saw in the FX35 and EX35.

Check out our 2011 Infiniti M56x review.

We've seen some pretty cool tech from Infiniti in the past, and the company is surging ahead again with new gadgets that practically let the car drive itself. The new EX35, an urban version of the bigger FX, features something called Intelligent Braking Assist, which can do just about all your braking work for you.

Another way this car stands out is its around-view cameras, which we took advantage of to pull into the tightest San Francisco parking spots. The short wheelbase of the car allowed for sprightly performance in the corners, with the all-wheel drive giving it an … Read more

LOUISVILLE -- Infiniti will introduce two model variations this year in an effort to broaden the brand's product line without adding body styles.

One of the changes is certain to involve Nissan Motor Co.'s new high-output direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which will debut in the United States this year on the new Nissan Juke crossover.

While withholding specific details, Ben Poore, vice president of the Infiniti business unit, told journalists here last week that dealers will receive the two additional products in October or November.

Poore described one of the new offerings as "performance-oriented" -- a … Read more
