I highly doubt that the G35 will ever become a GT-R, like the Skyline over in Japan. Infiniti here in the U.S. is targeted as a classier car, instead of a sports car. I would love to see it happen, though.
But, anyone can order the skyline emblems, and relocate them into the factory locations of the Infiniti locations. It's a great idea, nonetheless.

lots of money = less profit for Nissan!
less profit for Nissan = unhappy people!
unhappy people = less sex!
See the chaotic iterations???!!!! Now you know why they don't add AWD! LOL! So be happy with what we've got!
Haahahahahhahahahah!!! That was hilarious, but sooo true!!

I'd love to see a v8 in a new nissan GT-R! If they really wanted to compete they could have a 4.5L v8 in the standard GT-R and then a model above that could run a massaged 5.6L v8 the titan and pathy armada are going to use. A car with an engine that size could take on a vette or cobra stock.
no offense to the new V8, after all the engine is awesome, but i think that nissan should stay with its twin turbo charged 6-cylinders. after all, they have been using them for the last 12+ years, and are very powerful. I've seen a Japenese tuner ( Top Secret) do a twin turbo mod of then VQ35DE found in the new skyline ( 350Z/ G35) and that thing hauled major ass, say like 500 whp? anyways V8's are heavy and out-dated, the way to go for top-end power and better acceleration, is lighter weight engines and turbo's after all, i've seen a dodge viper get it's ass handed to it by a Civic hatchback.

As much as I will want the in-line 6 TT to remain in Nissan's lineup, it is all a pipe dream. The rb was scraped due to size issues compared to the vq. This sucks, as the RB is soo smooth running like a 2jz. And I too seen that black civic hand ass out to that viper. Sick man.
It's here people. Just go onto the official Infiniti website. AWD will be available on the G35x sedan. Not the coupe, however ... it doesn't say anything about throwing it onto the coupe. However, now that the hardware is available, conversions shall one day occur to the coupes and the Z's . I look forward to the day I can open a 2nr mag and see a 350Z AWD!!!
Its AWD, but it's for the snow and rain. You can switch the car back to 2wd as well. I think the computer might be programmed to limit the throttle when in AWD mode to. There's hope though.
True Z fan well not like the AWD because it won't be a real Z. No where in the Z history has there been a AWD Z.
It's looking more and more like the GTR well be comming out since they only offer it for the 4 door. The Skyline's are all based off the sedan so it would make sense to only have it on the sedan model.
AWD for cars hasn't been around since the conception of the Z. I will embrace new technology that enhances performance with open arms. Think of the handling, take off, track times, and new capabilities of a Z with AWD. I think someone needs to Shift_thinking
On another note I'm so glad, I'm not a "True Z fan" because..... then I wouldn't know difference between "well" and will.

So far nothing has beat the performance of a rear wheel car examples are F-1, Cart, and they are consider the top of racing hitting the 200 mph mark, something to think about.
yeah but what about the bugatti( sp?) veyron W16.4
its all wheel drive and is capable of doing over 230 mph. that shows awd at its excellence right there, because at those speeds, you would need awd and hella down force to keep the wheels planted and spinning, plus braking performance and cornering are enhanced, as well as its lateral G's
yet awd is onl good on occasion, b/c in racing, the extra rotational mass add weight and decreases acceleration
whatever works though, cuz i'd still like to see a reliable nissan with AWD in the states
The reason F-1s and CART cars are rear wheel drive is because of weight considerations... but if you're not driving a tinfoil rocket with 800hp, AWD starts to make more and more sense...
a whole bunch of modern supercars: Skyline, Porsche GT2, Lamborghini Murcielago, Bugatti Veyron, Audi Quattropole and S4, Lancer Evo, Subaru WRX STi... have AWD as a default... and some of these are regarded as being among the best handling cars ever.
AWD, it is true, will never match the power-weight ratio and the drypavement acceleration of RWD, but with today's engines providing more than enough power to push cars way beyond the safety envelope of the RWD platform, 4WD is becoming a bigger trend...
too bad Nissan didn't capitalize on its Skyline GT-R tech in the 90s... de-limited 400hp Skylines would have been a smash hit worldwide...
