The production model hybrid earned its World Record on August 23 this year at the Santa Pod Raceway in the United Kingdom. The hybrid used its combination of electric and gas-powered powerplants to blaze down the track and end every run on the north side of 100MPH. The times it earned during these runs place it firmly on par with speed legends like the 1982 Lamborghini Countach 1 and within tenths of a second of some Porsches, Ferraris and Aston Martins.
"The Infiniti M35h proves that hybrids can be fast as well as frugal," said Tim Pollard, associate editor of the UK's CAR Magazine. "At Santa Pod you could feel the instant torque of the electric motor away from standstill - the car just leapt off the line. I did try changing gears manually, but it was fastest left in automatic. That was when we achieved the fastest single run of 13.8960 seconds.
"But what impressed most was the Infiniti M's duality of purpose: it might be quick, but it's also comfy and very easy to drive. It felt like it could do these runs all week long."
The Guinness Book official was there to record the time for the books, also proved the Infiniti M Hybrid could reach 0-62MPH in a fantastic 5.5 seconds, a surprising fact when you consider that the Infiniti M Hybrid isn't just a hybrid but a 4-door luxury sedan as well.
