I've been waiting for this for like a month now!!!
Overall, the concept is nice and embodies the spirit and design hallmarks of the original Skyline/G35 coupe.
I noticed the gold brake calipers. I hope Infiniti brings back brembos for the coupe in the production model. One issue I saw was the rear bumper skirt with the integrated exhaust ports. This would limit aftermarket exhaust options for tuners unless they replaced the bumper. I also had reservations on the lip spoiler.
Biggest noted change and improvement is the interior. A step in the M direction with the new dash layout and the seats. I did not see paddle shifters as one poster noted in any of the pics. I'm assuming the model shown is an AT, not a MT. Anyhow, I would prefer to keep it stick with NO paddles. Once again, it looks to be a pain to install aftermarket head units without a replacement DIN kit for the center console.
The only mystery now are the performance specs and electronic toys:
-Powerplant and HP/Torque rating?
-Drag coefficient?
-RWD or adaptive AWD?
-Curb weight
-Integrated HVAC seats?
-Integrated speakers in seats i.e. M sedan?
-Adaptive cruise control?
-Blose stereo system? Or did they finally get the message?
-How does the all-glass roof work? Similar to Maybach glass roof? How about structural rigidity in regards to the glass roof?

The pic itself is really huge, but you can see all the details of the interior. I love the instrument cluster... Digital speedo!!! And paddle shifters for AT's. The steering wheel is BEAUTIFUL. The whole interior sweeps around the driver and passenger, like a real cockpit would. And someone actually managed to make the wiper and headlight stalks look GOOD
