For 2009, the performance envelope expands with the addition of a new G37x Coupe AWD model and a new 7-speed automatic transmission (the G37 Coupe is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission). The new Infiniti G37x Coupe model utilizes the advanced ATESSA E-TS all-wheel drive system also found in the Infiniti G37x Sedan AWD, M45x and M35x AWD, EX35 AWD and new 2009 Infiniti FX AWD models. The 2009 G37 Coupe’s new 7-speed automatic transmission features a performance-oriented Drive Sport (DS) Mode and Downshift Rev Matching. Other enhancements to the G37 Coupe for 2009 include standard Scratch Shield paint (self-healing clearcoat paint finish), a new Moonlight White exterior color, a redesigned dial-type seat heater switch and an automatic speed-sensing function for the power door locks. “With the addition of the new all-wheel drive model, the 2009 G37 Coupe is now available in four outstanding models – G37 Coupe, G37 Coupe Journey, G37S Coupe Sport 6MT and G37x Coupe AWD – to match buyers’ specific needs and tastes,” said Ben Poore, vice president, Infiniti Business Unit. “The addition of all-wheel drive adds a new dimension to a vehicle that already sets the standard in class for exhilarating performance and driving excitement.” Every 2009 G37 Coupe comes equipped with a standard 3.7-liter VQ-series V6 with VVEL (for Variable Valve Event and Lift) rated at 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.
