Infiniti Debuts Dramatic Coupe Concept At 2006 North American International Auto Show

DETROIT (Jan 8, 2006) – Infiniti today unveiled a dramatic new concept vehicle, the Infiniti Coupe Concept, at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. Infiniti also showed the new 2006 FX luxury crossover SUV, which has been refined with exterior and interior enhancements and greater differentiation between the V8-powered FX45 and V6-equipped FX35 models.
The Coupe Concept continues the Infiniti tradition of merging design and performance. It takes Infiniti’s vibrant design vocabulary, which has helped establish Infiniti as one of the most dynamic brands in the luxury market, and elevates it to the next level.
Among the Coupe Concept’s exterior design features are a full-length glass panel roof, modulated front fenders and hood, deep front spoiler and large projector headlights, polished bare metal-look paint, compact camera outside rearview mirrors, hidden door handles and large 20-inch, 9-spoke painted aluminum-alloy wheels.
The Coupe Concept interior combines a performance-inspired cockpit with a luxurious passengers’ space featuring a “double wave” instrument panel design, with large, violet-color gauge illumination and a dramatic, full-length center console. Specially textured aluminum accents project the image of traditional Japanese “Washi” paper, providing an added sense of warmth and crispness.
“The Infiniti Coupe Concept embraces the continuous advancement of Infiniti design with a unique combination of passion, imagination and creativity,” said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti.
Igo also provided an update on Infiniti business issues, including the fourth straight year of sales records. In 2005, Infiniti sold an all-time high of 136,401 units, an increase of 4.5 percent over calendar year 2004 sales.
“Infiniti sales have been strong across the entire model range,” said Igo. “We’re especially pleased with the acceptance in the marketplace of the all-new 2006 Infiniti M.”

This is G35 Coupe's replacement, or a new model for above M range?

The G35 Coupe is going to be around in it's current shape, but the G35 redesign is to be introduced in April. I assume this is a preview of the shape of that car.

Wow this os gorgeous the only problem is they always scale down the interior when it hits production to try and lower costs, hope they don't do that.

That and the fact that most showcar's interior is way overdone for the show purpose...

IMO if they can keep the interior design to the level like the M currently has then I think it'll be a big improvement over the current G-range...

What are the specs? Same as the G35? No V8?

Very nice, handsome facelift for G35 Coupe. Toyota should feel a great sense of pride, Nissan is paying tribute by using a lot of elements found in the newest designs from Toyota. (Lexus mostly)
