The Infiniti M35h is the new king of the quarter-mile hybrid


Although Europe is not very common, the quarter mile is a widely accepted measure performance based. It is a 0-400 meters from a standing start, is particularly popular in America. Well, Infiniti now sticks out his chest and says its hybrid is the world's fastest quarter mile.

The Infiniti M35h reached the goal of Santa Pod circuit in 13.9 seconds and 160 km / h (come on, a 0-160 in 13.9 seconds). It is a time worthy of the Porsche 911 Carrera or the BMW M3 of the previous generation. But acceleration also is the ace in the deck, 100 km / h in 5.5 seconds. And all with a consumption of 7 l/100 km.

Therefore exceeds the current Lexus GS 450h, the new data is still not enough. At first, Nissan licensed Toyota technology used, but apparently not his own is far from a bad engineering. Hybrid Hegemony mark ellipses in danger again.

Remember, this Infiniti is capable of running in electric mode up to 120 km / h. Has 364 hp and costs 1,500 euros more than the 238 hp diesel that consumes more, 7.5 l/100 km! Actually, having that hybrid version, the diesel makes less sense, but for whom no one is taken out of the black hoses.
