nouseforaname skyline has the same name as the infinity, but rest assured, skyline's power is NOTHING compared to g35.. THIS will be the first skyline coming to NA as a new car.

dunno ... that's what is says ...
| Quote: | | The Nissan Skyline is an intermediate-size automobile range sold in Japan and other countries. It is available in either coupe or sedan body styles, and is sold in North America, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Middle East as the Infiniti G35. |
| Quote: | | The Infiniti G35 is a sport luxury car introduced to North America in the 2003 model year. It is known as the 11th generation (V35) Nissan Skyline in Japan, and other names elsewhere in the world |
| Quote: | | Early speculation of Nissan using the Infiniti name in North America for the GT-R may not be true, as the official unveiling stated that it will be a "world car", sold in all nations in similar incarnations. However, AutoWeek reported on December 5, 2005, that it would be an Infiniti. |

maybe it is a skyline but to me it looks nothing like a skyline should, and looks kinda crappy and not sporty at all
my comments are regarding the v35 infiniti BTW!

its a million dollars but they are selling the cars at a LOSS! its probably the most advanced car there will ever be. the topspeed is only 250mph because its limited to that (2x v8 engines stuck together + 4 turbos = teh win.
the gear nob costs 50k to make! lol

| Quote: | | At 137mph, the nose of the car is lowered by 2in and the big rear spoiler slides into the slipstream. The effect is profound. You can feel the back of the car being pressed into the road. |
| Quote: | | I didn’t care. On a recent drive across Europe I desperately wanted to reach the top speed but I ran out of road when the needle hit 240mph. Where, astonishingly, it felt planted. Totally and utterly rock steady. It felt sublime. |
http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-1890873_1,00.html
bet a supra or whatever would feel unstable if you could even reach those speeds in one
heres an intresting fact
| Quote: | | You might point out at this juncture that the McLaren F1 could top 240mph, but at that speed it was pretty much out of control. And anyway it really isn’t in the same league as the Bugatti. In a drag race you could let the McLaren get to 120mph before setting off in the Veyron. And you’d still get to 200mph first. The Bugatti is way, way faster than anything else the roads have seen. |

btw Bugatti Veyron is the best car ever! if i ever win the lottery ill try to buy one 
this is why its the best car in the world
At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:
* A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
* A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
* A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
* A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
* A price tag somewhere in the $1.2 million range. |
lol i beg to differ. a million dollars for a power which can EASILY be achieved in a GTR or a supra with 50 grand... pfftt waste of time, money, gas, power, all the rest |
Tuning an engine to a thousand horespowers or building a stock 1000hp engine are two very different things!

imo you shouldn´t compare factory-built sportscars and tuned Japanese cars..
A 1000 Hp Skyline would trash the Veyron in a drag, if properly set-uo.
But drag times and topspeeds is far from everything.

I like 35 mpg. And low insurance. Not everyone is rich.
And what car do girls want to ride in? That is the first question anyone should ask.

i know i know, hence why i wouldn't spend 1 million bux on a car.. not even if i was rich... i rather buy a 100 grand car and donate 500grand of it to poor people and invest the rest.. what a waste of good money... 24000 dollars for its break job alone...

Hardly!
What ppl fail to grasp about the veyron is that it in fact is the best car ever built! Pppl compare it to other supercars like the enzo and thats impossible since this car is something completely different.
it goes from 0-60 in les than 2,5 seconds it is so fast so that if you race it against the mclaren F1 (worlds fastest production car for years) you can actually let the F1 get away up till 125mph before you start and still beat it to the 200mph mark 
Every car costs £5 million to build and they are selling them for only £850k at great loss of money. This project however was never about the money and they just wanted to build the best car in the world, just to se if it was possible technology wise. It took 50 engineers over 5 years just to develop the gearbox.
This car is an achievment tha goes beyond any other car ever built, and cant really be compared to anything else since it quite litteraly plays in such a different league that nothing else could be compared.

You already got the answers, but if you have more initials and you're wondering what they mean: http://www.acronymfinder.com is your acronym friend on the web.
