Infiniti M35
Posted by in Infiniti on June 23, 2011
Nissan has announced that it will launch Infiniti M35 – a hybrid gas electric version – in 2011. The Infiniti M35 will provide the curious relationship between hybrid vehicles and luxury. The Infinity M35 also will represent the brand’s first hybrid cars.
Nissan’s leadership always made the argument that in the automobile industry, hybrids are not the solution to the environmental – and that only pure all electric cars are the answer – pure all electric cars represent the necessary shift to emissions and oil – free motoring. Nissan will launch its all electric Nissan Leaf in late 2010.
However, according to Infiniti’s press release states, the Infiniti M35 Hybrid has been designed and engineered with an electric power combo and a gas for the solution for luxury buyers without cut-off high end features, performance, and horsepower, but no longer wanting to guzzle gas.
This hybrid will combine a 3.5 liter V6 engine, electric motor, and a new lithium powered hybrid in 2011. In fact, Honda Company was unsuccessful in V6 Accord Hybrid performance, and the company has discontinued this production three year ago. But Lexus and Mercedes is quickly filling up with V6 hybrid sedans – Lexus GS 450h and Mercedes S400 Hybrid. The reasons are many customers has a great attention about spacious and comfortable but they would not like to called callous by their neighbor – the statement of the CEO of Daimler, Dieter Zetsche.
The Infiniti M35 Hybrid should be priced about $50,000 with tax rebate about $1,000. This luxury hybrid is expected available in spring 2011.

Eccentric Cars Off The Roads
Want the oddballs in the automotive world? Well, brace yourself for the most eccentric cars off the roads. They are exotic. They are intriguing. But they are not for everybody to have and hold.
In today’s auto shows, manufacturers are shelling out a fortune to be part of the specialty market players that introduce the most eccentric cars. The recognition, regardless of the fact that the cars will not be allowed on the roads, is enough to make the automakers elated.
One of the exotic cars ever launched is the Artega, which was penned by Henrik Fisker, famed for being an extraordinary designer. The car is a fresh contribution from a new German automaker that plans to enter in the manufacture of high-performance sports cars for daily use. The 2008 Artega features a 3.6-liter Volkswagen-sourced V6 mated to the DSG twin-clutch gearbox of the company to produce maximum output of 300 horsepower via the rear wheels.
Another odd car is dubbed Carver One, which is said to be the “the world’s first commercially available self-balancing, tilting, three-wheeled vehicle.” Carver One is part motorcycle, part car; it is all about thrills over practicality. The contraption features a removable roof panel, 660-cubic-centimeter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 68 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque.
Gumpert Apollo Sport is another eccentric car to behold. Apollo Sport is given the high-performing mid-engine supercar powered by a 4.2-liter Audi V8 engine. It also features a fixed rear wing, rugged body, and gullwing doors that flip up on their roof-mounted hinges. It resembles the looks of a race car straight out of the FIA GT European supercar series.
Make way for the Rinspeed eXasis, a drivable “glass” car that features an aluminum frame with a clear plastic body and floor. The car is powered by a 150-hp two-cylinder engine, which sits on the transmission. To note, the car’s power-to-weight ratio puts it in line with the likes of a Porsche.
The Spanish automaker A. D. Tramontana has set forth a carbon-fiber road missile as a melding of Formula One cars and fighter planes. The company said the Tramontana was “modeled on the streamlined curves of the Costa Brava’s winds.” The car is given a twin-turbo V12 engine that generates 720 horsepower, about as powerful as a race car. The full production version of the car will go on sale this summer in Europe. Read the rest of this entry »
