Infiniti M Saloon teased

Infiniti has been busy launching in the UK and Europe this year, and we’ve run a fair bit of information on Nissan’s luxury brand, including the Infiniti G37 and the Infiniti FX37 & FX50.

But now Infiniti are ramping up interest in the next generation Infiniti M Saloon (which we haven’t had in Europe so far – think Lexus LS by Nissan) by releasing the teaser image you see here.

The Infiniti M will slot in above the Infiniti G37 as a luxury high-performance car and, from this teaser image, it does look as if it’s taken some of the swoopy-coupe lines we saw in the Infiniti Essence Concept back at Geneva.

There is no word yet on the powertrain for the Infiniti M, but the Infiniti Essence Concept was said to sport a V6 lump coupled to an electric motor giving the equivalent of 590bhp. It seems unlikely that the Infiniti M will launch with that sort of sophisticated hybrid setup, instead expect it to sport some high-powered V6 petrol options.

Although we’re told the Infiniti M will launch at Pebble Beach in a couple of weeks, it will apparently be a ‘Virtual’ reveal. Infiniti are bringing along a foam model on to which will be projected the image of the Infiniti M, giving the appearance of the real car. Interesting stuff.

But we won’t get shots of the ‘Real’ Infiniti M until December, with sales kicking of in Spring 2010.
