At one time, Infiniti built a slab-sided hot rod based on the Japanese-market Nissan Gloria. Called the Infiniti M45, it was long and had sides as flat as a rack of ribs. Powered by a Q45-sourced V8, it was a stoplight rocket in the tradition of American muscle cars: Slightly sinister by way of its plain, non-descript looks that went unnoticed until the light turned green.
Move ahead a few years, and the car has grown up. In the process, though, as it has matured, it has gotten better overall. A technological flagship for the high-end line from Nissan, the M45 takes the place once occupied by Infiniti’s former Q-ship, the Q45.
