That whole electromagnetic clutch bit sounds interesting, as well as the ability to run 0:100 f/r.

Under the specs. section it only lists a 5 speed automatic, that combined with the extra weight and drivetrain losses will take it's toll. Price will be interesting $35k?

It will most likely err on the side of safety when you try to push it. I wouldn't count on getting awesome drifter performance out of it. The G35 coupe turned out to be totally worthless in autox situations because the traction control always kicked in and there was no way to turn it off. So I bet that 0:100 torque split only applies when all the wheels are gripping, it ain't no STi.

Yeah, I think it'll be a very nice "stable" AWD system for the rain/snow, but it's not like Infiniti is trying to break into the STi/EVO market, at least not with a G35.
I didn't see how much it weighs, but I imagine it's leaning more to the bigpig side of the scale.
