I hope that that means that this car has the even more powerful 3.0 Twin Turbo that I believe they once had in the R33 and R34 versions. (it may have been a 3.3 TT) I for one would prefer the 3.0TT. I would also like to know if it has AWD like the older skylines had i.e. R33 and R34. (sorry almost all my knowledge is based off of Gran Turismo and internet research on these cars several years ago.)
A couple of mis-statements in your post Abdominal. The US spec Infiniti G35 sedan uses a 260hp 3.5L VQ35. The G35 coupe uses a 280hp VQ35 and the 350Z uses a 287hp VQ35. All naturally aspirated.

The platform uses the Skyline name in Japan, but is only powered by the V6 VQ series engine. The inline 6 (turbo and non-turbo) will not be used in this version. The car pictured in the link is RWD, though the FM (Front Midship) platform used by the Skyline, G35's, 350Z, and new Infiniti FX45 SUV can be adapted for AWD and a 4.5L V8. There is a lot of speculation as to what will power the new high-output Skyline, though nothing has been confirmed to my knowledge.
