Concept vehicles, according to Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President, Design, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., are accelerators of change. “Vehicles like our new Infiniti g35 are important platforms on which to launch new ideas,” said Nakamura. “Though not everything on a concept reaches the showroom floor, they are indicators of a company's direction, thinking and spirit. In the case of the g35, our direction, thinking and spirit are definitely headed toward performance.”

The second generation g35, which makes its world debut at the 2002 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, follows by one year the appearance of a similarly named and themed g35 – both described by Nakamura as “Bionic Cheetahs” for their combined emphasis on sports car performance with SUV utility. The second generation g35 has been completely redesigned inside and out but remains an aggressive, V8-powered, all-wheel drive sports luxury design.

“We tested the waters last year to great consumer response and have come back with a new interpretation which is much closer to the actual production model,” said Nakamura. “The fusion of sports car and SUV remains at its core, but we've added breakthrough exterior and interior styling to its superior drivetrain and advanced technology.”

A production version of the g35 has been announced as a future addition to the Infiniti lineup and will go on sale in early 2003.

“The new g35 represents the shape of things to come for our production crossover SUV,” said Mark McNabb, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division. “It also represents our intention to stand out from the pack of less exciting, less confident vehicles currently in the market."
