This is probably old news here. But I recently came across this interesting article in Motor Trend. Just thought I should share...

A 530hp twin turbo V6 Infiniti G. Are we finally going to see a G that can compete with the M3's and AMG's????? I really wish it happens!!

Infiniti Super G with 530-hp Twin-Turbo V-6 in Pipeline - Motor Trend

 

wont believe it til i see it...

 

well m3 is going to maybe have a tri turbo

 

Agree with you.

 

Wow! Twin turbo is nice.

 

Well I guess we will see some of how the coupe might look soon, isnt the sedan supposed to be released this coming spring? I think the G will get turbo but not 530hp.

I agree... either a turbo or a bigger displacement maybe? But not 530 HP. It will encroach into the GTR market.

 

i personally dont think it will be 530hp for the reason stated above. i don't think nissan wants anything encroaching on their GT-R sales.

my opinion.....i am skeptical for this just due to the fact nissan already has an entry level super car.....why need another one?

 

530hp does seem pretty high when compared to the M3 and C63 AMG. But I guess that if they really want to take on the Germans then they will need to offer something that entices your average M3 driver to look a little further. Whether you agree or not, many people are still brand tragics and will see the Infiniti as a trumped up Nissan, no matter how good it is.

Infiniti is launching in Aus in a couple of weeks and are offering a few very interesting after sales perks. 4year, unlimited km warranty to start and free roadside assist to an Infiniti owner, regardless of what vehicle they are in at the time. Extended to cars that aren't even owned by the driver.

Based on what they want to charge for a new car, they are going to have to really go overboard on the after sale extras.

 

Yes, this is extremely old news. It's been discussed at length. Another thread mahout it isn't necessary, post in the old one.
