A few years ago, I decided that I wanted to own a well-preserved 1990s Japanese luxury car, and my first choice was the Infiniti Q45. Well, it turned out that just about every example of the Q45 got completely trashed by about 2005, and so I found a very nice Coach Edition LS400. Still, though, I love the early Q45’s weirdness and its Nissan President origins, and so I shot this first-year example that I found in California.
These were seriously luxurious and powerful cars for their day, but most of them weren’t cared for so well once they went to their second owners.
This one just barely made it past 150,000 miles.
There is no compromise at any speed.
Take a long, hard test drive.
In Japan, it was called the Nissan Infiniti Q45.
I couldn’t find the weird US-market “Zen” Q45 ad, but here’s the Japanese counterpart.
