New York Preview: Infiniti G37 Coupe revealed ahead of schedule

With the New York Auto Show only a couple weeks away, the embargos had to begin to break any day now. Road and Track started things off by releasing its May issue online early with a single of the new Infiniti G37 and a short driving impression. Edmunds Inside Line and Automobile smelled blood, and immediately opened the flood gates revealing everything they knew about Infiniti's new G Coupe. These news outlets were apparently invited to a sneak preview of the G37 at Nissan's test facility in Arizona last month, and while Infiniti likely set strict embargoes on publishing pictures and driving impressions of the new model, all it takes is one hole in the dam to start a deluge.

The full view of the G37 is stunning, with familiar cues from the G35 Sedan mingled with coupe-specific cues like a large front intake and fast profile. The headlights peel back into the front fenders giving the G37 an even more imposing presence than the current G35 coupe.

The already excellent 3.5L V6 from the G35 Sedan gets bored out by 4.6mm to reach 3.7 liters, and the compression is increased to 11.0:1 to create some outstanding power numbers. An estimated 330 hp and 270 lb-ft will move the 3,682 lb coupe, and the drive should be much improved with 36-percent stiffer underpinnings than the G35 coupe. Stopping power is also quite impressive, with 14-inch front and 13.8-inch rear rotors.

Infiniti showed the world it was no pushover in the entry luxury market with its first-generation G35 coupe, and we think the great looks and impressive power numbers of the all-new G37 may put Infinity at the front of the pack. Of course, the BMW 335i coupe leads the pack at the moment while weighing less and putting up bigger torque numbers with its twin-turbo inline-six, so we'll reserve judgment on whether or not the G37 wins by a nose until we've had the chance to drive it.

not bad.. i'm not a fan of infinitis though.. so no comment hahaha

[R1CE]

hmm i kinda like it however i think its way out of my budget haha

[Tonyc402]

I really like the new look of the G coupe. Except the back for some reason feels weird to me but at the same time I kinda like it. Im wondering how much this will cost compared to the g35 coupes, since I have a black 2006 g35 coupe. Somebody told me that the engine is still based on the VQ, is that correct? supposedly to keep costs down

[201012]

yup that's true. they upgraded the VQ to 3.7 liters

[heyitzthatfc]

i dont know much about Infinitis but that looks EXACTLY like the G35 to me..

[iamsars]

^im not that familiar with infinity's but i think the lights r a bit more stretched (like toward the cabinish...) XD
backbumpers bigger..? >_>;;
im a noob dont flame me pls

[Orijinalx]

hope they made the interior better..
the current G35's interior is soo plain and borring.

[panda]

i want the headlights.

those taillights are hideous.

[jphase]

kind of looks like the infiniti Q? in the front. but danng I like the G's...they look soo big in the pictures but they're not that big in life.. haha. i was surprised when i saw the new sedan on the streets.. thought it'd be bigger.

[Tonyc402]

With the bigger engine and better performance , will it still keep that signature exhaust sound like the g35 coupe?

[iamsars]

the headlights look like a lexus or toyota...

[hanabixstory]

nice car there! if it were red, i'll go for it

[youngnottheold1]

I think Infiniti ruined a good thing by changing the coupe into this round thing with an ass that looks way too big. I agree with the OP that the design is less aggressive and the upgraded engine is only a 2 torque increase.

[Gackt]

It's alright. The original G35 is a pretty nice car, and I'm sure this'll be fun to drive...but I'd rather stick with the 335.

[pjbtk]

Looks similar to the concept suprised that it looks so much like it. This one looks like the old one just rounder and bigger especially in the back. I guess they needed the extra horsepower from the new engine look how big its become, it looks so much bigger now. I think the old one looks better than the new one but this one looks good too.

[M3tor2nR]

The power output is great. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds is quick. I like the front end better. The rear end looks fugly as hell. Mainly the taillights.

I read an article comparing this to the BMW 335i and they actually gave the edge to the G37.

But with mods, the 335i can easily surpass anything in its class.

[201012]

how do u know the g37 will run from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds?? it will be much faster than that . the original g35 ran from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (manual)

[ECBAOBAO]

front reminds me of mercedes

[Dr Facepalm]

just wait till the new GTR comes out next year
