Infiniti’s 4Door-Coupe Version of the Nissan GT-R

Monday, July 28, 2008 Categories: , , |
In its latest issue, Japan’s Car Top magazine features a scoop story on a new 4door-coupe model from Infiniti based on the Nissan GT-R. Citing inside sources, the Japanese magazine states that Infiniti’s four-door version of the Nissan sportscar would use a stretched version of the GT-R’s platform. Power would come from the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 while the Infiniti would also maintain the GT-R’s highly advanced AWD system and six-speed dual-clutch automated manual gearbox.

While we have no inside information whatsoever to support this story, we must admit that a 4door-coupe version of the Nissan GT-R from Infiniti sound like a pretty good idea as it could serve as the ultimate halo model for the Japanese marque in its quest to win buyers from other (European) luxury brands.

Thanks for the scans R.T!

tb4 is right.
Does not look attractive either. I am not sure there is a point to a super Infiniti 4 door sedan. I can see if they decided to launch "INFINIMO" (Infiniti Motosport, kinda like NISMO) and this car is the epitome of that brand. Otherwise, I don't see it/get it.
I really think a turbo G37 coupe/sedan puttin out 400hp flat would severely bite into the M3 sedan/coupe market. Needless to say a similar application to the M45 to put out 500hp will do some damage to the M5/E63 piece of the pie.

I can see this as it does make sense for the upper-end leagues where gas is not a consideration, but the ability to own a sport based sedan is. Photoshopped or not the idea is solid and can easily grow legs.

Are you kidding? This is hot! Sign me up.

I have a year left on my M45 lease. If it's ready for 010, I'm in.
