Infiniti G37
The Nissan Infiniti G37 (2008-2013, known as Nissan Skyline V36 in Japan) is a sport luxury sedan/coupe powered by Nissan's legendary VQ37VHR 3.7-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine producing 330 horsepower (246 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 270 lb-ft (366 Nm) of torque at 5,200 rpm. Power is delivered through either a 6-speed manual transmission (coupe only) or 7-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels or available all-wheel-drive system (sedan only for AWD).
Performance figures include 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. The G37 features sport-tuned suspension, 4-wheel independent double wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, available sport package with larger brakes and limited-slip differential, 18 or 19-inch wheels, and weighs approximately 3,650 pounds (coupe) or 3,750 pounds (sedan). The VQ37VHR engine is celebrated for its smooth power delivery, naturally aspirated V6 character with linear powerband extending to 7,500 rpm redline, and distinctive exhaust note. The G37 serves as a more affordable alternative to European sport luxury sedans (BMW 335i, Mercedes-Benz C350) while offering comparable performance and the legendary reliability of Nissan's VQ engine family. The G37 gained popularity in the tuning community with substantial aftermarket support for forced induction, easily achieving 400+ horsepower with turbo or supercharger kits. The combination of naturally aspirated V6 power, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, manual transmission availability (coupe), luxury features, and strong reliability makes the G37 a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking daily-drivable performance with Japanese dependability.
