Initial response to the new G35 has been outstanding. The G35 sends the message to a whole new audience that performance is key to the Infiniti brand. But this is a message that we don't expect the G35 Sport Sedan to carry alone. We think this will help.
Now things are getting interesting. By the way, this is the production G35 Coupe, not a show car.
With a car this stunning, not a lot else needs to be said. The G35 Sport Coupe will be available in November with pricing expected to start under $30,000 US. We understand, however, that great looks will only take you so far.
The other key motivator in this segment is performance. While the G35 Coupe's elegant styling draws you in, it more than delivers on its promise once you slip behind the wheel.
There are two key elements that set the G35 Coupe apart from the competition: use of the spectacular FM platform and our state-of-the-art VQ series V6 engine. Both are also found in the G35 Sedan, but for use in the G35 Coupe we dial things up a bit.
The standard 3.5-liter V6 has been tuned to produce 275-plus horsepower and 260-plus foot-pounds of torque... and that's not just at peak rpm. There's tremendous torque available across a broad power band, making the G35 Sport Coupe a pleasure to drive. With the Coupe, we're offering a new close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, which we'll also make available for the G35 Sedan. Of course, the Coupe will also be available with our state-of-the-art 5-speed automatic with manual shift mode.
