The Skyline is presently on its eleventh generation, the V35 series, which debuted in June 2001, and is sold in the North America as the Infiniti G35 and in Japan as the Nissan 350GT Skyline, available in a rear wheel drive coupe or sedan. The 350GT8 is equipped with the "Extroid" CVT gearbox, and has an 8-speed +/- mode.
The new Skyline goes against the grain of previous models as Nissan have replaced the straight-6 RB series engine with the V6 VQ30DE/VQ35DE. Nissan has also left a turbo version out of the lineup. Nissan's series of turbo RB engines has developed a cult-like following with many bolt-on upgrades from Japanese race part suppliers like HKS and APEXi. Time will tell if the new generation Skyline and its engines do as well.
