Infiniti has decided to bring it’s hybrid Essence concept to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. As a refresher, the car boasts a turbo 3.7-liter V6 good and an electric drivetrain good for a combined 600 horsepower. We couldn’t think of a better way to introduce Nissan’s lux-brand to the UK than flogging the concept [...]

I. BMW will unleash the latest version of its M3 GT4 racer at the Nurburgring 24-hour race in May. The car won’t be campaigned by Munich, but by a privateer firm called Schubert Motorsport. In BMW white-and-blue livery, the new GT4 car looks even better than the last M3 racer did. [Source: WCF]

I. Mr. Norm’s originally came out of Grand Spaulding Dodge in the late ’60s with a whole series of whoop-ass Mopars. Well, the guys at Mr. Norm’s are up to their old tricks once again, this time with a re-birth of the original Lil Red Express. The new truck is based on the short wheelbase [...]

Hybrid drive trains are usually about as exciting as a bowl of bran flakes. There’s just no reason to get your heart rate up over quietly motoring along with a stack of lithium batteries taking up your trunk space. Infiniti just rolled out its first-ever hybrid system, but instead of plopping it in a typical [...]

The story goes that even though everyone is now poor, Japanese car makers are going to rolling out some pretty hot (and pricey) metal in the upcoming years. Let’s just get to the most ridiculous part first — a Nissan GT-R SUV. Why? To compete with the Porsche Cayenne, of course. At least so says [...]

And Infinitis and Renaults, too! Looks like Renault-Nissan has been hard at work on an oil-burner of its own. The 3.0-liter V6 should put out around 235 horsepower, but there’s no word on torque just yet. With a reported 32 mpg, the engine should do well in the likes of the Nissan Maxima and Pathfinder [...]

That’s right — someone actually gave us a press car that’s not red. Though I’ve been assured it was a clerical error and that all Autofiends press cars will always be red. Forever. The end. So… what was it like driving a non-red car? Well, the M45 has a potent V8 and RWD, one of our [...]

Detroit’s looking more and more like that awkward company party no one wants to go to. Nissan and Infiniti have joined the ranks of car makers who have no desire to go freeze their collective tails off in the land of the Big Three. That’s a real shame considering that the two essentially stole the [...]

Well now, what have we here? Oh yes, it’s a very handsome convertible from Japan. The Infiniti G37 Hardtop Convertible to be precise. And what do we think? Not a bad looking car. not at all. OK, it does have a bit of the humpy butt syndrome afflicting the Lexus SC430. But just a mild case. [...]

Lieberman: To be totally frank, I wasn’t all that excited when I heard we were getting the G37 4-door. We just had the G35x (with AWD) and while it is a very nice car, there’s nothing special or memorable about it. The G35x was kinda fast and handled decent enough, but… it didn’t tickle my [...]
