I found this in a British article about the Q. Though the cars will certainly have some slight differences, this line stuck out:

The Infiniti Q50 3.5-litre, 364PS Direct Response Hybrid surges from 0-62mph in only 5.3 seconds

So, maybe a 5.2 seconds for a 0-60 run?

Not bad time for a hybrid- anything less than 6 second is great time for a hybrid passenger car.

That would be very disappointing......

It's most likely Infiniti's estimate, MotorTrend clocked the M35H at 5.1s to 60. With the refinements to the transmission and weight savings it should be able to go under 5.

Note that the Q50h Sport AWD is actually 9 pounds heavier than the M35h.
The Premium AWD is 51lbs lighter than the M35h, the Sport RWD 163lbs lighter, the Premium RWD is 223lbs lighter (all hybrids).

If they want to compete with the Germans, it must get it into 4s.

Which German hybrids in this price range are hitting 4's? I could see 4.9 or so.

Not a direct hybrid vs hybrid. But to the likes of BMW 335 , Audi s4 etc. 4.9 would be sufficient.

I was told by the Infiniti pro driver that took folks out for the track event in Texas (I spoke with him at two of the local Chicago intro events) that the Hybrid AWD will be under 5 seconds for 0 to 60.

This post, seems to indicate even better (4.7-4.8s)

Unfortunately, no direct sources.

AWD may be a tad quicker but the RWD 3.7 Q50 will be right in the same range as the G37 RWD 5.0 to 5.3 sec range as tested to 60, if it gets a 4.9 cool. It along with the 335 will remain the quickest options in this segment!

That was the little guy right? How tall would you say he was?

 

[GtoQ]

I sure hope its Under 5 or there will be cheeper option putting down the same performance on my Short list ...

 

[SimpsonTide985]

As mentioned in the other 0-60 thread, I'll keep my expectations realistic and assume that the non-Hybrid will be pretty much the same or negligible compared to the G37. The Hybrid will probably shave another .4s off.

Afrosheen,

The guy was tall and thin and mentioned that he is based in CA

Doh. I still want to know who the little dude was.

Don't you think it's interesting how the car is going to be delivered anytime this week and we still do not have any real reviews showing performance numbers and editorial opinions?
