Infiniti is celebrating 3M Facebook friends and decided to drop this video on us. The light-up sequence looks striking. You have to play the video though to hear the car rev...it's definitely NOT a VQ37 in there. It could be a 3.0L turbo. See attached screen.

Thanks for posting ts OP, I'm so excited to see this .

 

That sounds SICK! I wonder if guys will rebadge them back to the G line..

 

It'll remain a Skyline in Japan, most likely. So it'll likely be rebadged as a Skyline. Hehehe.

Q50 does have a ring to it, though. G50 sounds...boss? Hah

So to answer your question, I guess we'll end up seeing all sorts of badging and rebadging.

 

this should give us a good glimpse on the next gen Z engine, fingers crossed for at least 400hp

 

I'm following the thread over at myg37. That exhaust clip sounds yummy. Reveal is coming jan 14th.. I want specs now..

 

i hope its a supercharged v6 similar to Audi's 333hp supercharged v6

that would be an nice engine in a 3500lb car

 

I can't wait for the specs. This will literally make or break my Z relationship with Nissan.

 

My level of want is high. Can't wait for the full reveal.

 

Wish they would put a V8 in it.

 

looks interesting. i hope they didnt go too crazy with their 'flowing' lines.

 

Maybe it is a big v8? The numbers in Infiniti vehicles usually denotes the engine size..
G35, M45, QX56, etc...

 

 

No.

Infiniti has dropped all of that. Every car is labeled Q. Every SUV is QX. They made the announcement 2 weeks ago.

You sure it's not going to be called a Qline? You know those whacky Infiniti guys!

 

I lost hope in Nissan and decided to get a Viper. Unless they can drop a REAL performance motor that leaves plenty of tuning opportunities then I'm going to pass. Drop a twin turbo V6 then we may take a test drive.

 

^while your viper is in the shop youll have plenty of time to test drive other makes.



Just messing with ya, love the viper and would love to own one.


turbo 4 cylinder....

 

The exhaust sound teaser is way too short IMO to make any intelligent speculation about the engine type or displacement. I anxiously await the reveal in two weeks and keep my fingers crossed that the new motor will not be some small weaksauce disappointment.

 

Can't wait to see the specs of this. Sound clip did sound good but too short to really tell.

 

It's not speculation. Infiniti announced they have a 3.0L forced induction motor that'll put out as much as 550HP in the Q70 (former M-sedan). This is likely a gasoline/electric car with a higher tuned engine and more pressure from the turbos. Without the electric motor, and in standard tune, it's been stated to make 335HP.
