PRESENCE POWER PERFORMANCE PROVENANCE PRESTIGE PRESENCE: This is a car that people notice. Most don't know what it is, but they can't help staring and admiring. Most think it is much newer than it is. Those in the know start drooling and babbling that they haven't seen one this nice in many years. Up for auction is my fantastic 1994 Infiniti Q45t. If you are familiar with this car, you can skip to the next paragraph. When Infiniti first built the Q45, they had BMW squarely in their sights. They were out to build a car of the highest quality, fit and finish, and performance. They certainly succeeded in creating an overbuilt car that cost Nissan more money than they ever made on this model. And they were not cheap, either. This car comes with the original window sticker which shows a MSRP of $51,325. The beauty of a car like this is that with proper care it can last for decades and hundreds of thousands of miles. And when some part is wearing out, it does so with "graceful degradation", meaning that there tends to be warning signs of failure rather than anything sudden happening. The Q45 is capable of top speeds in excess of 155 MPH, and with an ECU modification it can do 170+. Just in case you have access to that kind of road! This is also a Touring model, which came with Super Hicas 4 wheel steering, trunk spoiler and BBS wheels. The BBS wheels are long gone. When the previous owner bought the car from an Infiniti dealer in 1996, he had them trade for a set of chromed turbine wheels. Go figure. Well I sold them so they are gone too. This is the only non original thing on the car. The car is in incredible shape for being 20 years old. I bought the car last November. I was looking for something else entirely at the time but when I saw it, I had to have it. You see, years ago I owned a black on black 1993 Q45 that I loved dearly. I had that car for 7 years and when I finally sold it (I was traveling the country in my RV and didn't want it to sit), it had 222k miles on it. A friend's teenage daughter managed to get another 2 years out of the car despite poor maintenance. Needless to say, I was sold when I saw this car. It is way nicer than my other car ever was. Well, after searching for eight months, I finally found the car I was originally looking for. I can't keep both so my sweet Q45 is now for sale. The previous owner garaged it when not driving and did regular maintenance. The paint is completely original and still has a great shine. The interior looks nearly new. The leather seats are in amazing condition. There's no cracks, tears, split seams or excessive wear anywhere. Never smoked in, there are no funny smells, only the aroma of rich leather. To help preserve the seats' condition, I soaked them with mink oil for 3 days. Nobody's old french fries under these seats! The car drives like a Q45 should and you would be hard pressed to find another one this nice anywhere. Since I got it, I have fully serviced the car including oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter service and complete fluid replacement. New wiper blades, clean washer fluid. I did find some oil seepage coming from between the oil filter mounting base and the block. It's not enough to notice any drop on the dipstick so I haven't bothered to fix it. It's not burning any oil either as I haven't added a drop of oil since the last oil change 2000 miles ago and it's still full. I wanted to bring the looks and handling into the 21st century, so I put a new set of 18x8 OEM wheels, not from Infiniti but they sure look it. I will only tell the buyer what they came from as I studied hard to put the package together, and I like the fact that I haven't seen another Q45 with this combo. Combined with the new Sumitomo HTR-ZIII 245/40/18XL tires, the look and handling of this Q45 has been transformed and updated. Tires have around 2k on them. The car drives like a nearly new car. It is quite fast and moves with authority ( watch the video below!). Everything feels smooth and tight. The cockpit is whisper quiet even at extralegal speeds, save for the ferocious roar of the 4 cam V8 when you step on it. Mechanically, the car is fully functional and needs nothing. Ac and heat work great. Windows, locks, sunroof, mirrors, seats, cruise control are all working. All interior and exterior lighting works except for the trunk light. Bose stereo works great through the front speakers. Both rear speaker amps were making noise so they have been disconnected. Power antenna works great, CD changer does not. If this is significant for you, I might have a line on one for $25. The trim at the base of the driver's seat is cracked. Driver's headrest doesn't move. There are some door dings that would be removable by paintless dent removal. There are typical rock chips on the front of the hood, small scratches like you might expect to see on a black car that is a few years old. The rear bumper has a flex crack on the right corner. Looks exactly like it did when I got it, so I don't think it will peel. The front bumper has a couple of light, hard to see impressions that did not crack the paint, plus a few small chips. Some careful touch up on the chips and they would all but disappear. I decided to let it be. In my opinion, the car is near show quality and would score high for originality. It's just hard to believe it is 20 years old! Included is the owner's manual, all the original keys (2 large medallion keys, 2 smaller keys and a flat wallet key), and 2 keyless remotes. Although I don't think it came with a '94, I am including a cool Infiniti key case that a friend gave me. Also included are some parts that I picked up reasonably since I got the car. The winner will get an excellent used transmission pulled from a clean wreck with 93k miles. I got a deal I couldn't refuse so I figured I would have a spare. Same with a spare cam angle sensor. Also a set of very rare Eibach performance springs mounted to Tokico blue shocks. The rear shocks are in good shape. The fronts have some damage to the mounting and perch, plus they are for 90-93, so I wouldn't use them. I was going to put the springs on to lower the car mainly for looks but in time I decided I like way it looks, as well as the ride quality. I also have a new rack boot that I didn't get around to putting on. The left side is torn but there are no leaks. This might just be the nicest original Q45 for sale anywhere. All in all, it's a freakin' fantastic car. I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it to Key West RIGHT NOW! Drive, collect, show. Export it to Japan, you would probably make a killing as they never had these. It's your choice. I can send a copy of the clean Autocheck report if desired. There is a modest reserve, certainly low for a car of this quality. Requests for the reserve will be ignored, please just bid what you are willing to pay. Please review my feedback, I have sold many vehicles on ebay with no complaints. Don't let it get away because you know the old saying "It's only original once!"

The car passed smog the last time it was done on 11/19/13 but it will need to be brought current to register. I am selling the car as is, and any registration and/or smog costs will be at buyer's expense. But to encourage California bidders, if you are registering the car in CA I will deduct $100 from your winning bid to help cover these costs. TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE READ: Vehicle is sold AS-IS, WHERE IS. A NON-REFUNDABLE $500 Paypal deposit is to be made within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance to be paid by cash in person, bank transfer or verifiable cashier's check. Full payment required within 7 days. Title and vehicle will be released when payment clears. Pickup is to be made within 14 days of auction's end. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I would be happy to work with buyer to help get the car shipped. Exceptions to the terms and conditions will only be considered with prior arrangement. If you have questions about something not covered here, please send your phone number through ebay and I will call you promptly.

F1-inspired, 563-horsepower Infiniti Q60 Project Black S details finally revealed
Mon, Oct 1 2018Despite being first revealed at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, Infiniti has been quite coy concerning the details of its F1-inspired hybrid super coupe, the Q60 Black S. That ends at this year's Paris Motor Show, where the company has finally spilled specific information about the car. It's technologically fascinating, even if the on-paper performance doesn't sound all that shocking. Total power output of the concept, now called Q60 Project Black S, is 563 horsepower, with final torque figures yet to be announced. That power comes from a combination of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 found in the Q60 Red Sport 400, along with a trio of motor-generator units that have similar functionality as those found in the Renault Sport F1 car's KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). One large one is connected to the rear axle and generates electricity under deceleration like most hybrids, and it can deliver 160 horsepower under acceleration. The other two motor-generators are coupled to the turbochargers. They generate power under acceleration as the turbines spin. They also act as an electrical anti-lag system, spinning up the turbines when hitting the throttle again after it has been closed in order to provide maximum boost immediately. Power for and from these motor-generators is stored in a 4.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. All the powertrain's power goes through a seven-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels via a mechanical limited-slip differential. The company claims it can hit 62 mph in under 4 seconds. One of the advantages of this powertrain is that electricity is generated both on acceleration and deceleration, which helps maintain battery charge so the motor assistance can be used more of the time. How aggressive the car is with the electrical boost is determined by which mode the vehicle is in, Road, Quali (for qualifying), or Race. Road is the most conservative, whereas Quali is the most aggressive. The reason for this is that if you're qualifying, you have to go the fastest you can in a short amount of time. A digital simulation of the car running a lap in Quali mode at Circuit de Catalunya estimated it would use 15 percent of the battery charge. That means it could do a little over six laps in that mode and maintain full use of its electrical assists. Race mode conserves battery life more, since you'll want that power over the course of the race. A downside to the Project Black S hybrid system is that it's really heavy.
Infiniti replaces Americas chief
Wed, Feb 18 2015The Nissan-Renault alliance has been something of a revolving door for high-level executives of late, and the latest shakeup comes at its luxury unit, Infiniti, where Michael Bartsch (shown above) has been replaced as vice president of its Americas division by Randy Parker. Bartsch had a short tenure – he only took the helm in September 2013. In a press release, Infiniti said he was leaving to "pursue other interests." Bartsch, a veteran of more than 30 years in the auto industry, came to Infiniti from Porsche. Parker comes from within the Nissan empire, formerly heading up the company's sprawling west region, including its marketing, distribution and dealer network. Before that, he served stints at GMAC and General Motors. Bartsch isn't alone in leaving Renault-Nissan recently. Ex-Renault COO Carlos Tavares took the top spot at Peugeot, Infiniti boss Johan de Nysschen left for Cadillac and Nissan executive vice president Andy Palmer took over at Aston Martin. Scroll down for the full press release from Infiniti. Feb. 17, 2015 Infiniti Motor Company announces leadership change at Infiniti Americas NASHVILLE - Infiniti Motor Company, Ltd. today announced a leadership change at Infiniti Americas aimed at growing the brand's presence in the U.S. Randy Parker is appointed Vice President, Infiniti Americas, effective immediately. He succeeds Michael Bartsch who will leave the company to pursue other interests. Most recently, Parker, 48, was Vice President, Nissan West Region, Nissan North America, Inc. "Randy has been a key contributor to the growth of Nissan in the United States," said Jose Munoz, chairman, Management Committee, Nissan North America and executive vice president, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. "He has overseen strong growth for the Nissan brand in our western region, and we look forward to the skills that he will bring to Infiniti." "It is our pleasure to welcome Randy Parker to Infiniti," said Roland Krueger, president of Infiniti Motor Co., Ltd. "Randy will be responsible for accelerating Infiniti's progress in our largest worldwide market and driving our brand transformation as we execute an expanded product portfolio of premium luxury products." Most recently, Parker was responsible for regional marketing, distribution, dealer network development and financial controls for Nissan's largest U.S. regional operation.
Infiniti signs four-year deal to become title sponsor of Red Bull Racing
Thu, 29 Nov 2012The chief of Infiniti's Formula One motorsport involvement, Andreas Sigl, said just last week that the brand was "going longer and deeper" into its collaboration with Red Bull, and the proof has already come: the Japanese luxury brand has signed a four-year deal to become the title sponsor of Red Bull Racing. From next year the team will be Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
The move cements Infiniti's intention to make the most of the already-ongoing technical collaboration it has had with Red Bull Racing for two years - this year Milton Keynes team has been testing Infiniti's Scratch Heal paint for aero properties and during the young driver test it used KERS batteries that were wholly developed by Infiniti's parent company, Nissan.
Earning a tip of the hat for not giving into cheap-trick branding, the engines will continue to be branded as Renault. Renault/Nissan CEO does not "want any confusion within the Alliance as to who does what."
