Bangalore, India – In a surprising twist of automotive fate, a 2012 Infiniti M37 GT, a sedan that’s as unique as it is powerful, has hit the market in Bangalore for a jaw-dropping price of INR 16.50 lakh. This luxury vehicle, previously owned by just one other enthusiast, is ready to roar with its registration number MH01BF7764 proudly displayed.
Under the hood lies a mechanical marvel – a 3,696 cc, V6, 24-valve VVEL, Nissan VQ37VHR engine. This heart of steel pumps out a staggering 330 horsepower and 366 Nm of torque, offering a driving experience that’s both exhilarating and smooth.
The Infiniti M, a revered line of mid-size luxury cars from Nissan’s premium division, Infiniti, underwent a name change in 2013, known thereafter as the Infiniti Q70. This was part of the brand’s revamped naming scheme, marking a new era in its legacy.
The model in question, the Y51, is a product of the creative genius of Hideo Komuro, crafted between 2006 and 2008 under the watchful eye of Shiro Nakamura. Its design echoes the iconic ‘coke bottle styling’ reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s, blending retro charm with modern sophistication.
However, the winds of change in the automotive world saw the Infiniti Q70, along with its siblings Q70L, Q30, and QX30, being discontinued post-2019. This decision was influenced by shifting consumer preferences in North America, where crossovers and SUVs have eclipsed the popularity of sedans and other body types. Additionally, Nissan’s strategic withdrawal of the Infiniti brand from various global markets, including Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Western Europe, further sealed the fate of these models.
This sale, therefore, is not just a transaction; it’s a chance to own a piece of automotive history. A powerful, luxurious sedan that once ruled the roads and now can be yours, without breaking the bank. The Infiniti M37 GT awaits its next discerning owner in Bangalore – will it be you?
