Under the hood the M37 has a variable valve event and lift (VVEL-equipped) 3.7–liter V-6 engine that delivers 327 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque enabling it to leap from 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds. A new multilink rear suspension and 4 wheel steering system enables the M37 to glide around corners. The New Infiniti M37 is more fuel efficient than its predecessor and is equipped with Infiniti Drive, which allows for four modes of transmission operation: Standard, Eco, Sport and Snow.

The new M is about 2 inches longer and wider than the M35 allowing for a skosh more space in the cabin. The interior is luxuriously appointed with quality materials including hand crafted wood accents and leather trim. An easy to read instrument panel sits aside the center dash which houses the audio, navigation and climate control systems. Perhaps the most innovative new feature is the air-conditioning system which filters out odors, controls for humidity and can even create a soothing breeze to comfort passengers.

The exterior of the 2011 Infiniti M37 has similar features to the Infiniti’s concept car, the Essence, which has been teasing audiences with its good looks for years. At first glance the M37 appears muscular and sturdy but a second look reveals elegant lines from the roof line to the grill and along the sleek body style. The M37 is a rare combination of power, strength and grace for around $50,000. Look for them to arrive at dealerships spring 2010.
