Having reached its 11th generation, the new Skyline arrived in the summer of 2001, kicking and screaming with a redesigned body, great weight distribution and powerful engines.
Sharing its platform with the 350Z, the Skyline had a lot of the latter’s features. Sporting a mid-front placed engine with capacities of 2.5 L, 3.0 L and 3.5 L coupled with a rear-drive layout and an advanced suspension system, the Skyline was at least as stable as fast as it went. Nissan went for simplicity with the Skyline, having fitted the car with normally aspirated engines. Hardly altered, the car was also rebadged and sold as the Infiniti G35.
