They brought along a 2012 K1600GTL K1600 GTL for attendees to drool over.

After a quite entertaining piece of both gravity and physiology-defying strangeness from some smiley Cirque de Soleil performers (Infiniti is the official sponsor of Cirque de Soleil), Infiniti’s product boss Carlos Tavares took the wraps off the all-new QX56. Based not on the Nissan Armada chassis (like the previous QX56) but instead on the heavy-duty Patrol, the new QX56 is a large, eight passenger “5-Star Luxury” body on frame SUV. That said, Infiniti managed to shed over 100 pound of flab compared to the 2010 QX56. Speaking of the 2010 iteration, the previous QX56 is roundly regarded as one of the most awkward and ungainly looking luxo-barges, well, ever. In fact, if we were to put together a museum exhibit about the uncontrolled and obnoxious wild excesses of the just-ended SUV craze, the old QX would get top billing right next to a Hummer H2 and the Cadillac Escalade EXT. The new QX56 changes all that. It’s world’s better looking. We’d even go so far as to state that it has a certain Middle Eastern chic to it. Put it like this: if you had to cruise around your kingdom checking oil wells what would you rather be driving? Infiniti is billing the QX56 as an eight-passenger private jet. Mr. Tavares must have said the word “luxury” a dozen times in his ten-minute presentation. Judging by our time with the all-new 2011 M37 and M56, we can declare then when they want to, Infiniti is fully capable of building a world-class interior. In the 2011 QX56, even the third-row …

During a track day on circuit Park Zandvoort I recorded four BMW E46 M3 CSL’s! At least one of the CSL’s has a aftermarket exhaust (don’t know which one). You can see some really nice fly by sounds. When they leaving the circuit, they made some nice donuts. “Like” us on Facebook here: www.facebook.com Second car channel: www.youtube.com Thanks you for your support and all the feedback on my videos are appriciated! /Hans
