Infiniti Indy 35A stronger with 2002 updates.
Nearly a year ago, Infiniti introduced the all-new Infiniti Indy 35A engine. Eddie Cheever Jr. won with the engine at Kansas Speedway, and Robbie Buhl led the final four races of the season with the powerplant.
Since then, the Infiniti Indy 35A has been through a complete design review. Infiniti teams tested more than 5000 miles during the winter, concentrating on a new electronics package and durability of core engine components.

In addition, simulation races on the dynamometer test bed at the TWR engine facility in Kidlington, England, far exceeded the miles logged on Infiniti engines during winter testing. As a result, new updates will be provided for Infiniti teams this season that will further reduce the engine's center of gravity and significantly enhance horsepower.
"In our pursuit to win more races and the 2002 Indy Racing League championship we have further improved the reliability and performance of the Infiniti Indy 35A," said Steve Kight, corporate manager of Infiniti Motorsports. "This updated package should provide Infiniti teams with the performance advantage they enjoyed in the latter part of the 2001 season."
