Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe and Sport Sedan Offer Enhanced Performance, Refined Interiors For 2005 [June 3, 04]


SAN FRANCISCO (June 3, 2004) – Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury division, today announced a number of significant enhancements to its popular G35 sport coupe and G35 sport sedan for the 2005 model year in North America. The changes include the introduction of a new coupe Sport model, a redesigned exterior appearance for the sedan and a redesigned instrument panel and console area with aluminum trim or optional wood trim on both the 2005 G35 coupe and G35 sedan.

Another major enhancement for the new model year is an increase in power for all G35 sedans to 277 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque (from 260 hp/260 lb-ft). The G35 sedan lineup, which added a new all-wheel drive version in the 2004 model year, also receives new exterior styling for 2005 – featuring a new hood, grille, bumpers, side sills, taillights and wheels.

The G35 coupe’s new Sport model will be available in an advanced 5-speed automatic transmission or with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The Sport 6MT model receives an additional 15-plus horsepower over automatic-equipped G35 coupe’s standard 280 horsepower, bringing its power to the 295-horsepower range (final figures to be released later).

In addition, the manual transmission design on both coupe and sedan models has been improved to provide a lower shifting effort.

The 2005 G35 sedan will be offered in four models, each equipped with a standard 3.5-liter V6, 4-wheel independent suspension and the refined exterior. For 2005, the sport-tuned suspension package has been upgraded with 18-inch lightweight cast aluminum wheels with 235/45R18 tires and drilled aluminum pedals.

The G35 coupe will be offered in three models for 2005, Coupe, Coupe Sport A/T and Coupe Sport 6MT. Both Sport models include a new sport-tuned suspension, Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (V-LSD), 19-inch forged aluminum-alloy wheels and drilled aluminum pedals.

“Infiniti built its reputation on a stunning combination of powerful rear-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles and outstanding customer service,” said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division. “The G35 has been a key element in our recent product line expansion and with the enhancements for 2005, our product momentum remains strong.”

The 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan and coupe with automatic transmissions are scheduled to be available at Infiniti dealers in North America beginning in October 2004. Manual transmission equipped models will go on sale in December 2004.

The announcement came during the Nissan 360 news media event, a three-week program in San Francisco featuring the automaker’s current and future worldwide product and business plans. At the event, about 500 reporters had the opportunity to drive nearly 70 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to familiarize themselves with the breadth of Nissan’s global product lineup.

I'm pretty sure they'll improve the Z...The Z car is Nissan's most popular sports car here in America...I'm pretty sure they won't make their flagship sports car get behind a luxury sporty coupe...just my 2 cents

I'm in the market for a 05 Coupe, but am really pissed at Infiniti's sales rep right now.

I called my Infiniti sales rep yesterday and he did not think the 6mt coupe was getting a power increase. He talked of how they met with the Nissan rep a few weeks ago and advise of the interior update and increase in HP for the sedan, but said nothing for the Coupe (even after I told him of what I had heard). I just thought he would be a good source since he WORKS for Infiniti and I thought Infiniti would EDUCATE their sales force.

I also mentioned my interest in waiting until November to get a deal on the 04's, at which he said "The coupe is a LIMITED Production vehicle" and there probably will not be a discount, even at year end. BS...BS. I guess I'm going to another dealer.

Sorry for the rant....good to see that there's an increase in HP for the 05s.

Sounds good to me. I'd also like to see memory seats. For that matter, I would also like to see ventilated (A/C) seats, too.

No the Interior shot is authentic. It comes from the Infiniti section of the Nissan News web site.
