2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan At a Glance

The G35 Sport Sedan expresses Infiniti’s bold direction of combining leading-edge design and technology, driver-oriented performance and a high level of luxury. For 2006, the G35 adds Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System and optional satellite radio to the Premium Package and a new exterior color – Liquid Platinum.

The rear-wheel drive G35 is powered by an advanced, 280-horsepower* V6 engine mated to a choice of 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode or 6-speed manual transmission. With the manual transmission the engine is tuned to deliver 298 horsepower. The G35’s performance is enhanced by a 4-wheel independent suspension with lightweight aluminum components and highly aerodynamic styling – including a coefficient of drag of just 0.27 and zero degrees of front lift.

The G35 is also offered with a state-of-the-art “intelligent” all-wheel drive system. The G35x AWD model features

Infiniti’s ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split) all-wheel drive system, which is also utilized on the M35x, FX and G35x sedan.
