In this video, an Infiniti G37 and motorcycle duke it out in Paris during rush hour. If that’s what they call “rush hour” in Paris, we’re moving our dealership there. There’s barely a car on the road! Anyone that’s lost 90 minutes to crawl across a five mile stretch of I-95 traffic has to agree – rolling through centuries-old architecture at a brisk 60 miles an hour would be a wonderful way to end a day of work.

We suspect this is a bit of Movie Magic, as Paris surely delivers a harsher gridlock than portrayed here, but the G Coupe looks awesome! Enjoy, and next time you are staring at a bumper for 45 minutes on 826, imagine you are these guys.

The Adeyeka Magazine is Infiniti’s official digital magazine. It is a slick, smartly produced and artsy, and delivers all the Infiniti goodness in a high-production package. From sharp looking ads to sincere articles, the content offers a wide range of interesting content. The video above shows a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of some of last issue’s content.

You rarely get to see the effort and meticulous planning it takes to get a simple page of art or 15 seconds of breath-taking video, so this is some interesting stuff. Infiniti, of course, spoils it a little with its patented, overwrought copywriting, like in this blurb pitching the fantastic Infiniti FX:

The road leads to infinity. This is where nothingness begins. You are as free as a bird. You know no limits and you don’t look back. The ideal tool for this adventure? The Infiniti FX.

Don’t let the high-brow nature scare you off. The magazine is quite good and a must-read for any Infiniti aficionado. You can find the latest issue by visiting here: http://www.adeyaka.com/. It’s loaded with articles and pictures, plus a full selection of wallpaper for your desktop. If you own an iPad, you can also download it there for a full, hands-on interactive experience.

As for the video, it is looking chilly on that desolate European beach. They should have come to Florida and done some tropical scenes, instead. Well, there’s always a possibility for the next issue. Infiniti, Miami loves you! Come visit us sometime and we’ll show you some of the classiest, most exciting beaches and clubs in the world.

The rumor mill suggests that Infiniti may be cutting a deal with AMG in order to expand their newly born performance division, the Infiniti Performance Line. AMG is recognized as the Mercedes brand’s performance part designer, similar to BMW’s M Division. AMG customs typically modify Mercedes to have more aggressive looks, higher performance, better handling and stability. The German-based company has been founded since 1967, originally to design and test racing engines, and their range of unofficial upgrades and accessories packages for Mercedes-Benz eventually led to becoming the premier and official provider/designer of top-end Mercedes performance parts.

Now, with Infiniti eager to establish and expand a full line of Infiniti performance products, it has forged a deal to receive technology from AMG. Speculation continues to say that this “merger” will lead to all sorts of fantastic technology from platform sharing to engine swaps, growing a full product line of aero kits and full-on performance models.

This rumor is surely exciting news to Miami’s Infiniti fans – the aftermarket for performance parts have always been slim for Infiniti, and a future opportunity to enjoy everything from official and simple coil kits to complete performance models (like BMW’s M Series) has to warm the cheeks of local enthusiasts as well as any Miami sunshine. Stay tuned to our website for the latest news on this emerging development in Infiniti’s future. The above video explores the newly released Infiniti G Coupe IPL, which is the first of a long line of exciting offers from Infiniti.

Drive in the New Year in style, with a 2011 Infiniti EX35 from South Motors Infiniti.  Edmunds calls the EX “one of the best-driving entries in the growing compact luxury crossover segment.”

Behind the wheel of a new Infiniti EX35, there is no limit to where you can go in 2011. Crusing down to the Keys for the weekend with the crew for a little R&R, sure. Off to soccer practice (on time), no problem! Taking care of you, you better believe it!

Make 2011 a year of change, in a good way! Drive in the New Year. Drive South.

Although we do live in paradise, it is nice to get out of town on occasion and just enjoy the open road. To assist you in planning your weekend getaway, South Motors Infinti has compiled a list of the greatest weekend getaways from Miami, that you can make in your South Motors Infiniti.

We’ll start with the obvious: the Florida Keys. This place has got it all when it comes to relaxation and rejuvenation.  An archipelago of 1700 islands, houses the southernmost point in the continental U.S., and the undeniably most famous island: Key West. Although Key West may have inspired the likes of Hemingway and Buffett, there are many other islands that hold equal intrigue and wonder which need not be overlooked.  In order to get the most out of your stay, consider staying in one of the more geographically centralized islands such as Marathon Key or Islamorada.

While in Marathon Key, make sure to swim with the dolphins. Although there are many places the world over where you can swim with the dolphins, Marathon provides a scene like no other. The clear water of Marathon Key will amaze you when combined with the warm waters of the south Atlantic.

Diving enthusiasts claim Key Largo as one of the best places in the world to experience under water wonders. The proclamation is not surprising as the only living coral reef in the continental US lies just off Key Largo.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has released the results of their latest luxury performance vehicle tests. The IIHS is an independent organization which scientifically tests vehicles for safety on today’s roads. Using a combination of in-house testing and gathered real-world data, IIHS uses these tests to help reduce deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes.

We are proud to announce the Infiniti M earned the coveted Top Safety Pick from IIHS during their last run of tests. To receive the award, the Infiniti M had to earn the highest rating of “good” from all four of IIHS’s safety evaluations and offer stability control. It scored the top ranking in Frontal Offset, Side Impact, Roof Strength and Read Crash protection tests.

Many technologies helped the Infiniti win its place among IIHS’s safest vehicles: The Infiniti Advanced Air Bag System, which adjusts inflation rates based on severity; Roof-mounted curtain-side supplemental bags to protect occupants’ heads; Second Row 3-point seat belts to secure occupants; Zone Body construction with reinforced passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones are just a few of the features the Infiniti M provides to protect its passengers.

We’ve given the 2011 Infiniti G25 a thorough review, scrutinizing the inside and out of Infiniti’s latest offering during some rigorous test drives near the South Infiniti property, and we have to be honest. We secretly expected the Infiniti G25 to deliver disappointing performance, but we are excited to report that it is not at all the case. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The introduction of the 2.5 Liter V6 in this all-new Infiniti makes a perfect combination of performance for price. The engine sounds eager, refined and willing to deliver, and thanks to a lot of sharing between the chassis of G25 and its more powerful brother, the G37, handling in the G25 is as intuitive, responsive and thrilling as you’d suspect.

The Infiniti G25 is certainly fun to drive, with corners conquered and straights swallowed in the blink of an eye. The G25 is of a lighter weight than the G37 – which translates to sharper steering and more nimble curve-taking, and the engine shifts with delightful ease, something that Infiniti has always done right and continues to do on this model.

A quick look around the cabin proves Infiniti made no compromises in the design, with a tasteful, comfortable cabin that beats the Lexus competition hands down in both exterior and interior design. Most impressive, however, is the price. With the base model starting far lower than its competitors from both Europe and Asia, the Infiniti G25 is a wonderful value for the money. The South Motors review team was well-impressed with the 2011 G25. Despite the smaller engine, we found it to be an eager, responsive ride capable of delivering an exhilarating drive. And with such a low price point, we suspect the Infiniti G25 will be a remarkable South Florida hit.

Infiniti has some changes lined up for the 2011 model year, including a welcome for its youngest offering the G25.

The all-new 2011 Infiniti G25 Sedan is a heavily-equipped, more economic variation of the much-loved Infiniti G Coupe. The G25 offers essentially the same interior as its older brother, but with a significantly lower price point thanks to a more modest – but still potent – engine and the absence of a limited-slip differential. Equipped with a more efficient 2.5 liter V6, it produces an impressive 218 HP and is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Our unofficial test drives have left us impressed, and we are looking forward to further developments Infiniti might make in regards to this impressive and affordable sports car.

As for the more traditional G37 Coupe, Infiniti has answered our prayers (and often demands!) by making the Sport Package available on G37 all-wheel-drive models for 2011, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of all-wheel handling without sacrificing the pleasures of their optional Sport Package, including 18-inch wheels, solid Magnesium paddle shifters and sport brakes.
The 2011 Infiniti FX gets a power lift gate, a standard wheel size change to 20 inches and a new color , Malbec Black, which looks both inspiring and stylish. The navigation package have also been added to the premium package, making this a pretty good offer for anyone interested in having in-car navigation.

Another first for Infiniti this model year is the Infiniti Performance Line, which is planned to be similar to the BMW M Division. For starters, IPL has taken the Infiniti G Coupe and done some wonderful things to it, including an up-rated version of the 3.7 liter engine, allowing it to produce a whopping 348 HP and 275 lb-ft of torque, along with a larger exhaust and some new engine tweaks. The IPL Couple also enjoys 19-inchers and stiffer spring rates with newly-tuned dampers. The IPL G Coupe is available with a manual or automatic transmission.

The Infiniti M shows up for 2011 fully redesigned and available with a V6 or V8 engine. Additionally, a third V8 is available for the M that produces a remarkable 420 HP but still manages to deliver better fuel efficiency than its predecessor.

The G Convertible gets new colors and new wheels plus some aesthetic refinements (it is already timelessly beautiful) while the G Sedan also receives some aesthetic changes, a new color and some fresh wheels. The QX also is an all-new design for 2011’s model year, boasting a greatly increased fuel economy and a host of technological and comfort-based improvements.
All together, it is an exciting year for Infiniti, and we look forward the other advancements that Infiniti is planning for 2011.
