The G35 Coupe uses 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension and "ripple control" shock design, with suspension tuning slightly more aggressive than the Sedan. Aggressive 17-inch wheels and tires are standard, with 18-inch designs like these also available. The standard brake system is state-of-the-art, and Infiniti's advanced Vehicle Dynamic Control comes standard on every G35 Coupe.

The Coupe's wheelbase is the same as the Sedan -- 112.2 inches -- but the Coupe is four inches shorter overall and its height is three inches lower. The Coupe is also 2.5 inches wider.

The styling speaks for itself, we think the G35 Coupe's design is dynamic, emotional and distinctive. In other words, it's gorgeous. The designers sought to create harmony of speed and style, as you can see in the bold, powerful and graceful front-to-rear character line, its sleek, personal cabin, extended, rounded fenders which emphasize the sporty wheels and the unique grille, which changes its light reflection as you view it from different angles.

The rear of the G35 Coupe is composed of concave and convex shapes, combined in a manner that expresses sportiness and grace, while the dual independent exhausts give a strong visual intention of the Coupe's high performance character. And, we've given it an exhaust note to match.

The coefficient of drag is 0.29, 0.28 with the aerodynamic package of rear spoiler and underside fairings. Like the sedan, the Coupe features zero degrees of front lift, greatly enhancing its high-speed stability and solid road feel. With the available aero package, there's also zero rear lift. Xenon headlights and LED taillights, like those on the G35 Sedan, are standard.
