Beshoff Infiniti

When we here at Beshoff Infiniti reported to you about the Infiniti M35h being the fasted hybrid in the world, we weren't kidding. And to prove that fact, the Japanese luxury automaker recently pitted its performance-driven hybrid against the admittedly-impressive Porsche Panamera S hybrid.

Of course, when we say admittedly-impressive, we're merely setting the stage for what many would normally think to be a neck and neck race... It wasn't. The 2012…

There are a wide range of vehicles in the new Infiniti lineup that we here at Beshoff Infiniti simply cannot get enough of. After all, our favorite luxury automaker caters to a wide range of tastes, which is only one of the things that makes them a top choice for drivers in the greater San Jose area and beyond.

And if you need any proof of this notion, then simply take one look at the…

We might be hot off the heels of the 2012 North American International Auto Show, but that isn't stopping Infiniti from looking ahead to what's next. The luxury automaker is taking no time for quick breath. Instead, they're charging right ahead to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and we here at Beshoff Infiniti have the inside scoop just for you!

More specifically, Infiniti is planning to up the ante in the world…

As part of its ongoing corporate partnership with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the NCAA® and ESPN, Infiniti has announced an expanded ?Infiniti Coaches? Charity Challenge? with a $100,000 donation to the winning coach?s designated charity.

Infiniti is hard at work engineering a luxury hatchback for 2014, and it appears that the Japanese automaker is close to picking a final design. Dutch site Autoweek.nl reports that there are three designs on the table, and one will be chosen in January. That likely means that we won't see the production hatch any time soon, but a fall showing in Paris or Los Angeles is a possibility.

The January time frame doesn't leave a lot of time for engineering Etherea-based hatch, but keep in mind that the compact Infiniti will be based on the front-drive Mercedes-Benz A-Class platform. This engineering partnership will enable Infiniti to focus its collective energy on creating a unique design inside and out.

Information about the powertrains of the Infiniti hatch are scarce, but reports that a hybrid could be part of the equation. We're guessing that a diesel is out of the question for the U.S., but a turbo-four or maybe even the 2.5-liter V6 from the G25 could be in the works.

While electric vehicles are all the rage these days, unfortunately, the hassle of having to charge them is not. Searching for an outlet, dealing with wires, and fidgeting with a plug is the bane of many an EV owner's existence. It may seem like a minor inconvenience to pay for incredible efficiency, but it has stopped more than a few potential buyers from investing in a more eco-friendly vehicle. That said, we here at…

WardsAuto World is known for their decisive critiques of everything that the automotive world has to offer, and their list of the ten best engines on the road today is always exciting to look forward too. We here at Beshoff Infiniti are bringing your attention to the prestigious "Ward's 10 Best Engines" list because this year, our favorite luxury automaker made the cut.

Which Hyundai powerplant won high praise from WardsAuto World? The powertrain…

The people at Infiniti know that it only makes sense to invest where the action is, and as of late, China has proven itself to big a rather large player in the luxury market. That's why the Japanese automaker is planning to relocate parts of its headquarters to Hong Kong. More specifically, they're moving some 100 employees in the relams of marketing and communications to the region, so that they can closely monitor…

Those of you who frequent the Beshoff Infiniti blog may remember our previous post about the all-new Infiniti JX crossover, which is set to hit dealerships in the spring of next year. Since bringing this exciting, new model to light, we've been keeping a close eye on the details surrounding it, as we're dedicated to keeping you informed, and now we're pleased to bring you word of specs, features, and pricing.

These…

Lots of automakers participate in F1 racing: Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus, Renault... and not so long ago, BMW, Honda and Toyota were in on the action, too. But while these companies have made their own cars, engines and even fielded their own teams in the top motorsport discipline, Infiniti's participation has been a little more removed.

Nissan's luxury division, as you may well be aware, is one of the top sponsors of the current reigning championship team Red Bull. But without actually building or powering Sebastian Vettel's car, Infiniti has been on a constant search for ways to capitalize on its partnership. That could soon amount to a Red Bull-tweaked line of performance models, and has already lead to a Sebastian Vettel edition FX. But for those who can't stretch that far, Infiniti has announced - drum-roll, please - a vinyl wrap.

The celebratory livery is available at an as-yet undisclosed price to current FX owners, but for the "lucky" ten customers who buy an FX now in the UK and win a tour of the factory, it could be theirs for free. We'd be glad to take the tour, but we'll leave the wrap off our luxury crossovers, thank you very much.
