Truly the only sound that cuts through is the throaty exhaust of the big V8 when at full throttle, its 32-valves and dual overhead cams whirring in mechanical unison as the large sedan moves forward with the alacrity of a two-seat sports car. Its sequential shifting 5-speed automatic transmission is ultra smooth in operation, choosing to upshift when hitting redline automatically rather than holding the gear like the G35. While I don't usually appreciate mechanical intervention in the manual modes of automatic transmissions it makes sense to allow it in the more luxury oriented M45.
To maintain constant contact with the road Infiniti supplies the rear-wheel drive M with standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS), which work so seamlessly that, other than a dash light that comes on to notify when in use, it's hardly perceptible.
The fully independent suspension sports standard 18-inch alloy rims covered in P235/45WR18 Michelin tires, extremely effective both for handling and braking, the latter assisted by 4-wheel vented discs and 4-wheel ABS, plus Brake Assist and Electronic Brake force Distribution. A standard tire pressure monitoring system makes for one less thing to worry about, much appreciated in today's hectic lifestyle.
