CAR OF THE YEAR 2002 !!!
The soul of the G35 Sport Coupe is a state-of-the-art 3.5-liter V6 capable of generating 280-hp with 270 lb-ft of torque. Nothing was compromised in regard to performance. To reduce friction and boost output, pistons were coated with slick molybdenum and camshafts were finished with microscopic precision. This powerful V6 also provides an exhaust note that's pleasing to hear. As Motor Trend put it, "If you squint your ears, you'd swear it's a V12."1
