The Highest Performing Hybrid

Tremendous power meets ultimate efficiency in a high-performance hybrid, which is no longer an oxymoron. This was proven on August 23, 2011 at the UK Santa Pod Raceway.

The 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid set the Guinness World Record for the fastest accelerating Hybrid. This car covered the standing quarter mile in 13.9031 seconds on average of all runs, with 13.8960 being the fastest time. This performance is equivalent to the 1982 Lamborghini Countach1 or the 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 muscle car. The hybrid was a just a few tenths behind some Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin Models.

The M35 Hybrid has a 3.5L V6 that produces 360 horsepower. It reaches zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It is powered by a single electric-motor/twin-clutch powertrain. It is capable of driving on electric-power only up to 62 mph. The M Hybrid receives an EPA-rated fuel-economy of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

This unique vehicle combines power and eco-friendly efficiency. The high-performance hybrid is real, and in the form of the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid.
