#11 of 269 2007 Infiniti GT-R by Sylvia STAFF Nov 24, 2004 (7:38 am)
2007 Infiniti GT-R   It may end up wearing an Infiniti badge, but this next generation Skyline should have all the attitude of its Nissan cousins.   http://www.edmunds.com/future/2007/infiniti/gtr/100486033/preview- .html

Any idea if they will turbo the VQ 3.5L? Or will they use the V8? Replies to this message: proe (Nov 24, 2004 8:31 pm)

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 24, 2004 5:25 pm) I think Nissan will twin turbo charge the V6.   Here is the link on R34 Skyline http://www.j-garage.com/2101.htm

I think Infiniti will replace current G35 Coupe with R35 Skyline. And, I think R35 will dominate the US AWD market. Also, it will be tunner's dream with this car. We will see some 1000hps Skyline running around soon.

Why would they replace the coupe? The skyline will cost $50K+. Also, the Skyline coupe and GT-R co-exist in Japan. Replies to this message: proe (Nov 26, 2004 3:16 pm)

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 25, 2004 3:58 am) My thought is that from marketing point of view, you have 350z, which could take current G35 coupe's place. And, by having Infiniti GT-R, yes, not Skyline GT-R, Infiniti division will have a very unique place in the future market in terms of the true sports car that can compete with Porsche 911, Acura NSX, Chevy Corvette, and other Sports cars. And, Toyota is bring back Supra, which has been tunner's dream for a long time and it still is. It seems like the future segment distinction is getting blurry. I think I need to start saving money for 2007 GT-R.

What is the cost (converted to US dollars) for the current Skyline overseas? Is it the R34 that is still for sell?? Replies to this message: proe (Nov 29, 2004 6:34 am)

Replying to: boomn29 (Nov 28, 2004 3:14 pm) I think they discontinued R34 at 2002, so you can only get a used one. I think it was priced around $55k back then.

I have this feeling that the US-market version of the Skyline GT-R due the fall of 2006 as a 2007 model may NOT use the turbocharged V-6 of the Japanese domestic market model. We may instead see a modified version of the 5.6-liter V-8 found on the Nissan Titan truck, but with fuel-delivery system and valvetrain modifications for more sporting performance. My guess on power: probably around 440 bhp. And the car may be designated Infiniti G56R. Replies to this message: raychuang00 (Dec 02, 2004 11:16 pm) proe (Dec 03, 2004 11:32 am) and 1 more...

That'd be a pity. It may be a better car out of the box, but those who care really want a "true" GT-R.   Not to mention, turbos can be tuned more easily.
