V8 version of the FX sport crossover (2003-2008). VK45 4.5 V8. The hot-rod of early Infiniti SUVs.
The Infiniti FX45 is the V8 version of the original FX sport crossover. The VK45 4.5 liter V8 gave it around 315 horsepower and a genuinely quick character for a mid-2000s SUV, paired with the same dramatic coupe-like styling as the FX35. It was a niche, fast luxury crossover before the segment exploded. On WhipJury, the FX45 is a rarer sight than the FX35 and stands out for its V8 soundtrack and bold proportions.
