to be honest im a little confused by todays news.
even though the G35 sedan still has a 3.5 i still dont think all that 3.7 was BS i mean the trademarks were registered.
maybe the coupe will have a 3.7 along with the Z?

The sedan no doubt uses a VQ35, Nissan claims that it is 80% new. I am sure you will see a new Z in 08 with a similar engine.
The 7600 rpm redline and the HP increase are the obvious improvements to what Nissan is calling the 4th generation of the VQ.
As for G37 being trademarked, I am sure it was an idea that was kicked around, and who knows what will happen in the next few years. A new coupe (early 07) and Z (surely the 08 will be new) should make things interesting.

Honestly, the IS350 looks better. 
Im not impressed. And the concept pics of the G35 Coupe are not too great either. The 2003-2006 Coupe looks better then the concept future Coupe IMHO.

About the engine:
“The block features ladder frame construction for greater rigidity, crank journal and pin diameters have been increased, the block height increased by 8.4 millimeters to reduce piston side force and the engine center is now 15 millimeters lower, which also contributes to the G’s improved dynamic performance,” says Infiniti’s release on the G. “Other engine enhancements include the addition of standard variable exhaust cam timing (eCVTCS), a higher rev limit (increased from 6,600 rpm to 7,500 rpm) and higher compression ratio (10.6:1 versus the previous 10.3:1), asymmetric piston skirts, twin knock sensors, improved coolant flow and new Iridium spark plugs. A new symmetric twin ram air intake system helps reduce airflow resistance by 18 percent and a new exhaust system design with equal length exhaust manifolds and reduced muffler exhaust pressure (25% less than the first generation G35) help improve engine breathing.”

Ahhh better cooling for the engine, sweeeet.

Hmm, taller deck height and lower center mean longer conrods, which means less side loading and lower piston acceleration, which means this engine is beter suited to higher revs. The thing is, the current VQ35 is suited for high revs in regards to its block design, it's the valvetrain that holds it back. I wonder why they decided to mod the block, makes me wonder what kind of NA power they're planning for in the racing scene. I also wonder if it's still a cam on bucket design.
The intake looks sweet, I wonder if that can be swapped with the appropriate ECU to support it. Damn, that's the issue with cars, something better always comes out. by the time i can afford to build the motor, I'll just be better off swapping it out for the new 2021 Mr. Fusion engine.
