How odd would it be for rally fans to see a Nissan, let alone an Infiniti, getting its tires dirty in the world of rallying? The Japanese automaker isn’t exactly a name synonymous with rally racing, so you might need to excuse us for being a little apprehensive when word broke out that an Infiniti G37 S Coupe would be part of the Spanish Rally Championship. Turns out, though, the G37 S Coupe will not be doing any rally racing of its own. Instead, it has been tapped as the official rally-spec safety car of the SRC. Color us surprised with this bit of news. To cope with the rigors of the rally world, the G37 S Coupe’s chassis and suspension were strengthened. Among the new additions to the car’s make-up include new Bilstein dampers, upgraded brake pads, its very own light bar and siren, a roll cage, a new set of Sparco race seats and harnesses, a fire suppression system, and high-performance Michelin tires. Other important features added to the rally safety car include a GPS navigation system and a plethora of communications equipment developed to assist the car in case of an emergency. In terms of powertrain, the G37 S Coupe safety car will have the same output coming out of the standard 3,696cc 24-valve V6 engine – 320 horsepower – and will be mated to the standard six-speed manual transmission. Infiniti may not be all that known in the world of rally racing, but if the company ever needed to get its feet wet in the often dusty and muddy world of rallying, this could be the first step in doing so. .
23 comments: Infiniti G37 S Coupe Rally Safety Car Wow that would be a great move of Infiniti on entering the world of dusty and muddy rally racing. The look of this coupe is cool, and I’m pretty sure that they can make it into the end, winning and who knows maybe the champion. 
 Hopefully, the total output performance will be made this transmission highly recommendable for racer’s competition. Moreover, I’m so fascinated on its strong image.
 Very impressive exterior, truly customized car. Looking into its engine and system guess that’s equipped and developed.
 For all we know it is a rally car. I’m just wondering why they don’t make more upgrades in order to improve its speed. Designs make it look better, but I don’t think it will fit for a race.
 I think Nissan is just not the type of a manufacturer who wants their car on the rally race. But for me, this Infiniti G37 S Coupe can really face other cars on the rally.
 Well, I really don’t see the need to give this one a performance boost. After all, it’s just a safety car, so the current specs that they have here would be more than adequate.
 I think they been needing to boost the power of this car by using a more powerful technology like turbocharged engine. I still don’t know if it could actually beat its competitor with 320 hp.
 Well, its not really a bid problem to modify this car into a racing car. They could use the engine of the original concept but they need to add a gear box and make sure that it follows the regulation of racing event.
 I think this seems that its creating a over styling design that made this Infiniti G37 Rally arrogant in style, Hopefully, the total output performance will be made this transmission highly recommendable for racers competition.
