Infiniti’s new engine, called the VR30DDTT, is direct-injected, twin turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, producing 400 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. Consider it a cousin to the GT-R’s engine, because it is.

For those paying attention, that’s 100 more ponies and 31 more torques than you get with a 335i and it’s within shouting distance of the top-of-the-line M4.

apparently yes a nice car for the coin.

but that front end...ugh man looks like a shark with cancer. headlights and lower front-dam are ok but the rest is a hot mess.

those seats look hella comfy.

i dunno what it is but what does everything look like it's cheap plastic inside. (maybe cause it is, no matter the brand lol).

thanks but no thanks.

While the Bimmer’s turbocharged platform did have a touch more tuning potential and midrange torque delivery, the G37 made up for it in sharp throttle response and looks that rivaled most six figure cars.

wait wut? EPS is different from what infinity has implemented here though.
They actually remove any physical connection between the steering wheel and the actual steering rack - it is a driving aid. So not only do you lose road feel, but you can ask for 30 degrees of steering and the car can give you 40...or 20, or whatever manner of corrections the computer wants to make it make it safe and not performancy. Driving is a lost art \:\(

Well, to be fair, 75% of the people out there don't know how to drive to begin with...

Seen this car in person - it's nice. Far better looking than most of the segment. Comparable good looking cars are Mercedes and BMW.

Black looks great - it's a metallic black.

Inside is pretty decent - most interior pics don't do a car justice unless edited afterwards. Even the red seats aren't too bright red (too bad they're not oxblood colour though)

Jeff is giving it a fair assessment. Its a solid car and that 400hp flies. Completely and utterly useless in the gta....but ya, it moves.

Aren't most manufacturers are leaning to the DI technology?
I know Hyundai/KIA, VW have DI engines for few years now

i find for many co's it's a rolling change. ie. honda/acura only like half the lineup have DI motors, or well almost all soon i guess. depends on how far along r&d is for the next model change. ie. mdx, tlx, fit and accord have DI now for awhile and others will get it with next model changeover. ie. 2017 crv will get the 1.5T DI motor and a 2.0l base n/a motor (which i think is already DI? not sure). eventually all models will have would be my take.

never heard injectors, stock or even with the RC 750cc injectors. don't forget that the LS motor didn't have lost motion assemblies like the vtec motors.
