The V-6–powered M37 is as quick as last year’s V-8 M45.
With its previous-generation M model, Infiniti found itself in an uncomfortable place: Its latest corporate VQ V-6, as found in the Nissan 370Z, was more powerful than the M45’s V-8. So offering that 330-hp 3.7-liter in the M had to be delayed until now, after a more potent, 420-hp V-8 found its way into the M. Although the V-6 gets a bit coarse near its 7500-rpm redline, not surprisingly, it propels the restyled 2011 M37 as forcibly as last year’s V-8–powered M45: 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and the quarter in 14.1.
