Nissan Motor launched its luxury Infiniti brand in Indonesia this week - the first new market in a 25-country expansion drive for the brand over the next two years. The company is targeting an initial 5% of the country's luxury car segment, which it estimated at 4,000 units last year.
The nutshell explanation of the new Infiniti G25x's raison d'être goes like this: it's a G37x-- but with the big V6 yanked in favour of a smaller one. Specifically, Infiniti's 3.7 litre, 328-horsepower mill gets a pink slip, and a new 2.5 litre mill is dropped in its place. The 1.2 litre reduction in displacement results in a drop of 110 horsepower to 218.
