Infiniti with M35h inspired performance to Guinness World Record

New Infiniti M35h sets Guinness World Record® for fastest full hybrid as car goes on sale in 21 European markets.

Infiniti’s latest new model for Europe, the M35h, has sped into the record books as the world’s fastest accelerating full hybrid. Driven by journalist Tim Pollard and overseen by Guinness World Records®, the 364PS petrol/electric saloon covered the standing 400m (quarter mile) in 13.9031 seconds (average of all runs).

The Infiniti M35h features a V6 petrol engine coupled to a 68PS (50kW) electric motor for a total output of 364 PS (268 kW) – all of which goes to the rear wheels by means of a double-clutch gearbox. Fuel-economy is rated at 7.0 liters/100 km (or 40.4 mpg imp.) and CO2 emissions are 162g/km.

Guinness World Records® (GWR) was at Santa Pod to witness the record attempt and ensure Infiniti’s new benchmark for full hybrids takes its place among the record-breakers on the GWR website. The M35h’s Inspired Performance is also in line to feature in the 2013 edition of the famous Guinness Book of Records.

M35h on sale throughout Europe now at just £1180 more than the diesel version.
