Rumors have it that Audi and Lamborghini co-developed the chassis that's used for the Le Mans...
Quattro case study and the new Lamborghini Gallardo. Their bodies look similar but I think if I had a choice and money was no object I'd buy the Gallardo over the Le Mans. The Lambo has much more aggressive but yet pleasing lines on it.

Re: You'd never know by looking at the two cars side by side...
If you look at the Audi side shot and use your hand to cover from the front wheel forward, that's a silhouette of the Infinity coupe.

No way, the G35 is much more slab sided...
The C pillar runs straight into the sides of the car, there is no upper area greenhouse like the TT and LeMans coupe have.
That's one of the things that bugs me about the Z and G35, they seem to carry(visually) much more weight over the rear wheel since it is a constant surface from the roof down to the fender. Look at how the TT has a separate greenhouse area above the waistline that is inset, it makes it looks less bloated.

The back end does look more similar than I remembered. (edit)
