Rare Mitsuoka-Styled 2003 Infiniti M45 Surfaces on the Collector Market

A 2003 Infiniti M45 wearing a Mitsuoka body kit has turned up for sale, offering enthusiasts a chance to own one of the more unusual mashups to come out of the Japanese domestic tuning scene.

The second-generation Infiniti M has largely slipped from memory, particularly since it only reached American showrooms for a brief stretch of model years. That short lifespan makes surviving examples scarce, and this particular car stands out further thanks to the Mitsuoka treatment, which reshapes the sedan’s styling into something decidedly more eccentric.

Mitsuoka is best known for building retro-flavored vehicles that borrow mechanicals from mainstream Japanese models, so a customized M45 fits neatly into that tradition. The result is a car that guarantees attention wherever it goes, whether from curiosity or genuine appreciation.

For collectors who favor the odd and overlooked over the predictable, this M45 represents a genuinely uncommon find. Its rarity stems as much from the limited model run as from the distinctive cosmetic work applied to it.
