Infiniti FX Performance Overview
Infiniti’s FX was a gasoline-only performance crossover built from 2003 to 2013, and across 14 independently verified tests it shows a clear progression from mid-7-second six-cylinder launches to 5.0-second V8 pace. The S50 generation (2003–2008) paired the VQ35DE and VK45DE with naturally aspirated output ranging from 280 to 315 hp. Early results set the baseline: the 2003 FX35 needed 7.3 seconds to reach 60 mph, while the 2003 FX45 cut that to 6.3 seconds. By 2006, the FX45 lowered the first-generation benchmark again with a 6.1-second 0-60 run.
The S51 generation (2009–2013) moved to the VQ35HR, VQ37VHR, and VK50VE, with power rising to 303–390 hp and the model’s quickest figures arriving immediately. The 2009 FX50 S recorded the all-time best 5.0-second 0-60 time and a 13.6-second quarter-mile at 104 mph, while the FX50 also posted 5.1 seconds to 60. Other S51 variants remained close, including the FX37 Limited Edition at 5.7 seconds. By the end of production, the FX stood as a naturally aspirated V6 and V8 crossover whose later S51 tests materially outpaced the earlier S50 cars.
