The 2008 INFINITI G35 Sedan builds on the second-generation 2007 model’s myriad revisions, which included a next-generation 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6; a striking new exterior defined by the sleek wave form hood, signature G-style taillights and raked A-pillars for an athletic stance; a crafted, Takumi-inspired interior environment; and the audiophile-quality INFINITI Studio on Wheels ä by Bose®.


Enhancements for the 2008 model year include an available Sport Package for the G35x AWD model for the first time in G history (in addition to the G35 Journey Sport Package) and a new 18-inch Tire and Wheel Package for G35x AWD (late availability); revised Technology and Navigation Packages; available INFINITI iPod® Interface and Driver’s Audio Stage; and standard XM® Satellite Radio (requires XM® subscription, sold separately). There is also one new exterior color – Desert Platinum.


The heart of the 2008 G35 is its advanced engine, platform and drivetrain, anchored by the award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6 mated to a choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission with Manual Shift Mode and Downshift Rev Matching or close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Steering wheel-mounted magnesium paddle shifters are offered as part of the available Sport Package (automatic transmission only).


The G’s second generation FM (Front Mid-ship) platform features a 4-wheel independent suspension with lightweight aluminum components and improved body stiffness. The 2008 G35x AWD features INFINITI’s “intelligent” ATTESA E-TS™ all-wheel drive system.


Available advanced technologies include RearView Monitor, a touch screen navigation system with real-time traffic and the audiophile-quality INFINITI Studio on Wheels™ by Bose® Premium Audio System, combining the industry’s first 3-way front door speaker array using 10-inch woofers with a head unit incorporating double oversampling 24-bit Burr Brown® Digital Audio Converters.


Other features include standard Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, available INFINITI Navigation System with XM® NavTraffic™ real-time traffic information, touch screen and 9.3GB Music Hard Drive; Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS); Premium African Rosewood trim; and Intelligent Cruise Control with Preview Braking.
