Nissan Skyline V35

Infiniti G35

The long awaited R35 never appeared. Instead came the V35, or in the states the G35 appeared under the Infiniti marque. A heavily modified and uptrade G35 is raced as a factory car by Team Falken.

It never made it to the GTR spec and in fact is not much of a sports car compared to it's predecessors. Although the G35 is popular in the USA it is unlikely to ever become so in the UK, and has certainly been shunned by the Japanese Dori community.

Although sharing the same chassis as the 350z we see in the UK. The V35 is softer and less rigid. A shame considering the powerplant in the 350 model can deliver 280BHP !

Many belive the Skyline stopped being a sports/hyper car at the R34. Indeed the next GT-R will not even bear the name Skyline. And the latest car to bear the Skyline name (the V36) is a 4 door family car

R.I.P. Nissan Skyline.
