So there really might be a future VQ37TT sedan

The GT-R is coming with a 450hp VQ37TT and now Nissan has apparently admitted that the G35 coupe will be available with a detuned VQ37TT. Early last year, Nissan patented the G37 so there is some truth to a VQ37. It seems clear that Nissan is going to try and compete with BMWs twin turbo 335 coupe and sedan. Is there a possibility that we could be seeing a VQ37TT sedan? I would kill myself knowing that I could possibly be driving the optional turbo'd 350hp G37 sedan when I had just purchased 306hp NA G35. Has anyone heard anything more about the VQ37TT?

A tamer version of this V-6, codenamed VQ37HR-TT, will make its way into the upcoming Infiniti G35 Coupe. Key differences between the engines are that the GT-R's VQ will have the twin turbo*chargers, lighter pistons and connecting rods, as well as a beefed-up crankshaft.
If Infiniti wanted to create a performance division, like AMG or ///M, a Twin-Turbo Sedan and Coupe would be a great starting point IMO using the VQ37HR-TT.

Infiniti is up against some extremely tough competition in the form of the new
BMW 3 series and Lexus is coming on strong with it's new 'F' performance division.

The G isn't meant to compete with the IS-F so that doesn't even matter. If they released a high performance version of the G, than that would make sense. However replacing an 80% new engine within a year would be a ridiculous move from a financial standpoint. Maybe we'll be seeing some sort of performance division from Infiniti to compete with the M/F cars of BMW and Lexus?

well only good news i know is the M45 will be available AWD by the end of the year.
as for the G35 goes... no news what engine will be developed-- they are holding off to really see what the customer feedback will say b/c i have some people saying the G35 '07 has too much horsepower or is too fast for them.

That's how I interpret this article as well. No turbos.
I agree with you about the performance division.
