Infiniti today unveiled a dramatic new concept vehicle, the Infiniti Coupe Concept, at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. The Coupe Concept takes Infiniti’s vibrant design vocabulary, which has helped establish Infiniti as one of the most dynamic brands in the luxury market, and “elevates it to the next level.” Among the Coupe Concept’s exterior design features are a full-length glass panel roof, modulated front fenders and hood, deep front spoiler and large projector headlights, polished bare metal-look paint, compact camera outside rearview mirrors, hidden door handles and large 20-inch, 9-spoke painted aluminum-alloy wheels. In November we reported that Infinti would show a new 2007 G35 coupe concept in Detroit, followed by a production model at the New York Auto Show in April. More photos and details after the jump…

The Coupe Concept interior combines a performance-inspired cockpit with a luxurious passengers’ space featuring a “double wave�? instrument panel design, with large, violet-color gauge illumination and a dramatic, full-length center console. Specially textured aluminum accents project the image of traditional Japanese “Washi�? paper, providing an added sense of warmth and crispness.

“The Infiniti Coupe Concept embraces the continuous advancement of Infiniti design with a unique combination of passion, imagination and creativity,�? said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti.
