HKS u know if this is the same engine in the current G37 coupe? or are they bumping it up a bit??
this car can potentially do 1/4 mile in less than 13.3 sec

It would have been great to see the engine tuned, but no. It will have the same 3.7l from the coupe. 330bhp and 7speed auto gearbox.

It will be for sale end of next month btw.

Those wheels are nasty. They ruin the entire car.

With the right wheels it would look much less bloated.

Bro....I dont think torque would be an issue...I have driven the g35 sedan .....it aint bad on the low end torque.

I think that the reason torque was low because the engine has a high revving characteristic. Redline starts at 7500rpm

I too am excited about the times....I really hope it can do 13.3........Many G35 sedans tested have been able to do 13.8 to 14.1 but with a 3.7 litre 328hp 7 speed auto V6, I hope it does way better.

About the Hp, they arent bumping it up but have decreased by it by 2hp(328hp).

Anyway, I bet it's going to be faster then a G37 in a straightline

Change the rims and the grill and it will look ok. Great value though for how much they go for.

Hell yea it is.

I was quite suprised with how quick it is. I didn't expect it to have so much low end torque.

I just drove an 08' sedan the other day and was very impressed.
