1997 Q45 Wheels, Etc.

The Q45 features dramatic 16" CAST ALLOY WHEELS. Constructed from gorgeous cast aluminum alloy, their lightweight design helps to reduce unsprung weight and improve both performance and fuel economy.
The Q45 features wide profile, 16" HIGH PERFORMANCE, ALL-SEASON TIRES. Because the more tire surface you have on the road, the more safety and control you have at all times. For sure footed driving during slippery conditions, the Q45's standard VISCOUS LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL transfers power from the rear wheel that's slipping to the rear wheel that's gripping.		The new Q45 features a 4-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WITH VENTED DISC BRAKES. During an emergency situation, the ABS brakes pulse rapidly, keeping the wheels from locking up, while providing another crucial benefit: better steering control while stopping. This could mean the difference between running into something or steering around it.
	By combining the proven FRONT STRUT-TYPE SUSPENSION design with Infiniti's MULTI-LINK REAR SUSPENSION, the Q45 offers the best of both worlds. All the luxury and comfort you expect from a flagship model, plus performance features like better handling characteristics and a tighter turning circle. (DETAIL VIEW)
To assure you good handling during bad conditions the Infiniti Q45 provides standard TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) with an integrated viscous limited-slip differential (VLSD). During situation where one or both of the rear wheels begin to spin, the TCS automatically throttles down the engine by way of a secondary throttle. This response slow the engine speed to match the road condtions. Additionally, Infiniti's VLSD will transfer power to the rear wheel that is gripping. All of this takes place in a split second, which, in an emergency situation, is usually all you have.
