Artical found about the GTR on road and tracks website states "A tamer version of this V-6, codenamed VQ37HR-TT, will make its way into the upcoming Infiniti G35 Coupe" http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=4650

 

Its all speculation.... April isn't too far away. We should know by then.

 

Good find dude, hope that it is all true. Guess we will know in a couple of months at the NYIAS.

 

mmmm sounds tasty.

just hope the price is right.

ppp

 

they better come out with a tt for the new coupe...especially after the 335 came out...1000th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

single / twin doesnt matter to me.

a prepped engine for boost allows room for increase down the road.
Plus twin turbos arent all they are cracked up to be, however bmw's design is a perfect way to go for a twin.

ppp

 

If you actually read the article, you would undertsand that R&T made no reference to the G35 getting twin or single turbos, but stated that the coupe will get a de-tuned version of the VQ37HR (no turbos, different pistons, cams, etc.). Honestly, I don't give a damn if it's FI or NA, but 325hp+ from a 3.7l will be awesome.

 

As long as its competitive to the 335i stock for stock and cheaper, thats all that matters. If the price point jumps to 335i territory and its not FI, its no longer real competition because the 335i is SO easy to mod to 400+hp/torque

 

can't wait till they put that engine and tranny in the sedan. WOW!!!

 

I read it the same way and feel pretty much the same in the horsepower department.

 

Yep. Turbos or not, the new coupe will be a hell of a ride.

 

Hmm... looks like my TT thread wasn't a joke after all? lol

 

Can't wait...


Let us hope it comes true.... The 2008 coupe will be in 4 second territory....

 

I'm quoting this

"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 you read that few times, its pretty much saying that the new G coupe will have the VQ37HR minus the TT.

The differences are the FI prepped internals al la pistons, rods, crank, and most importantly the twins.

correct me if i'm wrong

So if anything i think its safe to speculate a G37 w/ the VQ37HR putting out 330-45ish crank hp

 

I highly doubt the VQ37HR will make 330HP much less 345HP. The current VQ35HR makes 306HP which is 87HP/L. if the VQ37HP make 330HP, that'd put it @ 89HP/L and 345HP would put it @ 93HP/L. We all know as the engine gets larger, it's harder to squeeze out more HP/L in NA form without additional technologies such as FI or VVL. So unless the VQ37 is a VQ37VE, I highly doubt it can make that #.
