the g35?

[p_r_i_m_e_r_a]

Lets see what doesn't make sense here.

Oh yea a Infiniti G35 w/almost 300hp, 2 doors, and AWD?

You almost sound like your talking about a car that starts
with an S.

No offense, I just think is Bulshavic


Hell I could be wrong, but when does that happen

i believe a G35 Coupe is possible, this a US version Skyline you know, i've heard of a coupe version coming out late 2002, it'll share the same motor as the g35 sedan except the horseys are uped a little, probably will have the same engine specs of the 350Z. the AWD thing, maybe not, but still possible...

i dont see why it wouldnt be possible to have AWD. the Infiniti GTR is supposed to be AWD, and that is going to be built off the same platform.

The coupe version of the G35 is supposed to be Infiniti's "350Z". It will be and then some! Look for it in the fall!

Gents,

In reference to previous attached email, I have heard 95% of the fact given about the new G35. It is true that the G35 4-door will be rear wheel drive with similar specs as that of the I35 (260 hp; ~256 ft-lb), only the G35 is more sporty. As far as the G35 2-door, its chasis is the same as the Nissan 350Z (ps there is no such car as the Infiniti 350Z as someone mentioned). The distinct difference is that the 350Z has more horsepower than the G35 2-door, approx 300 hp. As someone mentioned, the G35 2-door will produce 280 hp with 276 ft-lb torque. I am not aware of the AWD, however!

As for the price? I am hoping that it is not too expensive. A good approximation is to base it with the I35. If the 10K (CDN) difference justify the performance and looks, go for it. I personally think the look of the G20 is much better than the new G35!

Cheers.

I think you misunderstood me. What I said was that when the G35 comes out in a 2-door, 6-speed version that it will be Infiniti's "version of a 350Z", not that its going to be called a "Infiniti 350Z". Go to infiniti.com and see the G35.

About the 2-door, I got that from an insider with Infiniti. Wait and see!:flash:

Does anyone have any pictures of the G35 that they can post?

[jprimera]

here is one ejoyed

Infiniti just officially released pricing, and the base MSRP is 27,100. Of course add a few options, and you're already looking at 30,000. I read an article that said the G35 will establish a new precedence for handling because of all the technology built into the suspension and bodyframe. Lexus better look out, this car is gonna be sweet. Wait for it!:bandit:

[ImportFreak]

looks like a round family car.. dont liek it as much as the G20

[Lukedds]

Does anyone know how the shorter wheelbase on the G35 Coupe will effect seating? Obviously there will be less room, but will it still seat 2 children easily in the back? I consider a Thunderbird, Seville and G20 to be considered easy, not a SC430, XK8 or 911 though. Thanks. Do we have any sketches on the Coupe yet? I'm waiting on the 6spd in anycase.

I do agree that it isn't as distinctive as the G20 was, but with an additional 100hp, a better chassis, and rwd I'm far from complaining. We have a G20 and I30 in the family, but have favored my fathers Lexus GS to this point because of RWD. The GS is just a little rich for me with all my play cars on the side. I eagerly await a test drive.:flash:

Only this one so far:

That sketch rules. I saw the G35 at the L.A. Auto Show, and I must say I didn't like the looks of of too much. There was a sweet silver G20, which was awesome. Nissan better give the G35 Coupe more than 300 HP or else I doubt it will make much of an impact being overshadowed by the 350Z. The JDM R35 GTR's engine/HP choice is yet to be finalized, but insiders expect that that 276-HP gentlemen's agreement limit will be broken. I've heard numbers as high as 450PS(not sure what this is in HP, but it's more than 400, right?). I seriously doubt we'll see the G35 Coupe with that much power, but I think they'd be fools if they didn't kick it up to at least 300 HP.

[ExhaustNote]

It’s extremely unlikely that the coupe will come with 300hp, let alone 300+hp. Expect something more along the lines of 280hp with 285~290hp being an optimistic peak.

For specific reasons neither car is to overshadow the other.

I recently went to a carshow where I has my first sighting of the G35. I think it looks rather elegant. Attracted a lot of attention. Not as much as the 350Z. I also spoke with the infinity product specialist. Her boyfriend works for BMW. Work has it that the boys at BMW are very worried. The G35 has more horses than any of the 3 series, handles just as well if not better.

Some wonderfull things are happening at nissan/infinity. It's about time. Next target? BMW X5.
