( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Infiniti IPL G convertible is one of the most expensive and fastest Infiniti models that you can purchase today. Just like the letters AMG, M and RS, the letters IPL mean that Nissan as taken a stock Infiniti G37 hardtop convertible and turned into the Infiniti's handling and performance flagship. And with 343 horsepower being churned out from the IPL-tuned 3.7 liter DOHC 24-valve VVEL V-6 engine, there's enough power to make the 2013 Infiniti IPL G hardtop convertible very fasT indeed. But is it fast and sharp enough to compete with letters such as AMG and M. Watch this TFLcar 0-60 MPH Drive and review to find out.

People keep saying why choose this over a BMW or Audi, I'll tell you why, to be an individual not a drone in a soulless german squaremobil. This car has passion and I know about sports car being the owner of a Maserati QP GTS. The Infiniti has passion, the German cars are just clinical engineering. I tried the BMW and the Audi they have as much charm as a calculator, the g370 shows you make your own decisions and are not bullied into conforming yourself into a german car through lack of self confidence.

I like both car makers japaneese and german. Truth is that no japaneese car will ever feel as firm and rigid as the german car, BUT the german car will never be as reliable as a japaneese car. I've had audi's vw's bmw's they are all full of problems. Lexus, Honda, Infiniti, Nissan... Well never had problems with them apart from small silly stuff.

When doing a 0-60 test in an auto, surely you would hold down the brake pedal, build the revs, then release the brake and floor it? Especially with the VVEL it would be in a lean mode initially while sitting there idling.

@archangele1 5 жыл бұрын

People miss the point of this car. It is a drop top first and a performance car second. As for performance, the G37 and now Q60 are more about balanced performance then just 0-60 times. If all you consider when buying a car is 0-60, buy a Hemi powered Dodge. The Infiniti has a nice balance of usable power, great handling and great brakes. All three must balance with each other in a truly great performance car. Also, some cars may be a little slower at 0-60, but from, say, 50 - 100 be actually quicker then cars that can best them in a 0-60 romp.

I never tested my 2014 Q60S, but I find that with it's manual transmission, the automatic ones are faster from 0 - 60, but in a quick passing situation, my 6 speed manual is a LOT quicker. I'm told my 2014 with a manual is a fairly rare bird.

@archangele1 3 жыл бұрын

I am now curious what my six speed manual Q60S could do 0-60 in. In other reviews of the 2014 Q60S, I have seen 0-60 in just over 5 seconds. But that was for a hard top.

I like the way the current model looks but I dont really care to much about the IPL series right about now, I mean its a great car and even though its not as a fast as its competitors , IPL is a premature high performance series, so I dont blame them. This is Infiniti after all, they soley revolve around producing luxury performance cars so I would say IPL is going to be a huge competitor by 2014. Infiniti has already confirmed a 550 HP turbochargred V6 enigne. They will surely rise to the top.

If you really like to travel, it is stupid to drive a sport car with hard suspension. What do you think the SUV for? I am a G37 owner and I only drive it for fun. if you wanna travel, I more recommend Q7, ML. :)

It only takes one great engine to filter down into all thier other Infiniti products. Nissan already has the perfect recipe for a high performance car.... its the Nissan GTR. Infiniti doesnt need to wait 30 years. With Mercedes Benz & Infiniti now partners AMG will also be included into Nissan DNA. With the new lineup coming up, the IPL Q60 coupe has been confirmed to recieve a twin turbo 530 + HP V6 engine inspired by the GTR. This is right around the corner.

A G37 does not compete with an E-class Merc. The G-series competes with the smaller C-class. That would be saying that the E-class competed with the Lexus IS-350. Also, I test drove the BMW 335i convertible and there's no room to put a human behind the driver either. One more thing, give Infiniti 30 years of development like M, AMG and the RS divisions. You'll see something much more competitive...

@bmwsport11 I feel upset about it too man. I am a massive Nissan/Infiniti fan, but what they are thinking is absolutely ludicrous! Ever since Johan De Nysschen became President, I have questioned his judgement. The worst thing is the upcoming elimination of the 5.0 & 5.6 liter V-8's. Everybody, write to Infiniti and complain about what they are doing. Maybe they can fire Johan and choose someone who respects the brand more.
