Now before you all get your panties in a bunch, remeber that it is still a full 2 years away and this is probably just another concept, but it is possibly the thing closest to what we will be getting. Enjoy.
I'm beggining to wonder how much all the talk about how ugly it is will matter when the specs of the car come out. Again pic is probably just another concept.
Cause that is what they are CONCEPTS. As for specs I will try to get them as soon as I can. Also look at the pic above. The cover says V6 3.0, Turbo so it isn't a 350Z motor.
this was in car and driver (I forget which issue): Infiniti will begin offering an all-wheel-drive version of its hot-selling G35 sedan, fitted with Nissan's ATTESA E-TS (electronic torque split) system, in early December. Now comes word that an upcoming G35 platform mate, the Skyline GT-R, will get not only ATTESA E-TS but also a twin-turbo V-6 tuned by Cosworth. Producing in the neighborhood of 480 horsepower, the new V-6 features twin-turbo motor assist, a technology employed during off-boost periods say, when idling that temporarily turns the GT-R into a naturally aspirated car. Here's how it works: When off boost, magnetic valves open to form a bypass that redirects exhaust gas around the Turbos and directly into the precatalysts; when on boost, the valves close and channel exhaust gas into the Turbos. The net effect is a car reportedly capable of meeting strict emissions regulations around the world. Don't expect to see the GT-R, likely labeled an Infiniti when it comes to America, till 2005 or 2006.
The new 3.3L alloy block V6 will use the stroke length from the VQ35 and the bore from the VQ30. It will use twin electronically assisted Turbochargers, which is a first! Apparently two small electric motors will be attached to the turbine shaft spinning it at lower revs when no positive boost is being made thus eliminating Turbo lag. Furthermore variable valve timing and variable valve lift will be used in order to achieve the 400ps that is predicted.
The M-spec will get a 6 speed CVT transmission while the V-spec a 6 speed MT. Active suspension will be used, along with 4 pot Brembos all round and huge 19" wheels.
well I gotta register to this web site just to say... IS300 WITH A BODY KIT. CAAAAAAHMOOOOON PEOPLE!!!! Not that it looks bad, but if its 400 horses, it better look a helluva lot more exciting before I'd throw down for the msrp on that... Japanese corvette.
The Skyline will have a re-worked front end and rear. The g35 and the skyline look like a Z because they are built on the same platform and share very many similarities.
