Infiniti Rumors: IPL? M Coupe?

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/24/i...ing-this-year/

Hot on the heels of the recent revelation that Infiniti is working on a duo of new G-based vehicles slated to debut at this year's Pebble Beach extravaganza, we've come across a trademark filing by Nissan North America for "IPL." What's IPL you ask? Infiniti Performance Line, a new catalog of in-house developed upgrades which – according to the filing – will include everything from air filters to cat-back exhaust systems, and – more intriguingly – "automotive engine parts, namely turbochargers and superchargers."

The approach is likely to be similar to how NISMO develops and markets parts for Nissan or, more accurately, Lexus' launch of its F-Sport performance line.

This new line of performance parts will likely be unveiled this August in Pebble Beach and be fitted to the G37 coupe. How extensive the modifications are remains to be seen, but as previously reported, one of the models set to debut will be "performance oriented," and if forced induction is part of the package, we're anxiously awaiting our rendezvous with the modded coupe this summer.

I wonder if any of the IPL stuff will work for us VQ35 guys. I would imagine most, if not all, of the parts would be geared towards the latest gen.

EDIT: I just noticed this thread is in the OH G Club section. Sorry guys...LOL.

Supposed to be just current platform and if it goes well then all future platforms as well. They are trying to be like BMW in their BMW performance parts.

its all good candle...no worries.

This is a good thing, most companies are looking for the higher CAFE standards..and infiniti is looking to still focus on their preformance side of their line. This is very good for long term focus!
