Thanks for sharing... Good to see how electric engine works at high speed. I was surprised it is still feeding power at high speed.

I saw your other video. This could be a good video to show real world scenario that the system works! Having a big truck in front of you is hard to see what's going on. This accident happens a lot in the US.

Yes, I forgot to put this video here This system is amazing. I couldn't see anything in front of me because of that big truck and the Predictive Forward Collision Warning system warned me about the critical situation before the car ahead of me started to brake. So I knew faster than this guy in front of me

Apologize for the off topic here but I would suggest you to post it in Infiniti Facebook. Lots of people think the system is bad because it makes you a bad driver... They should see the system as complement not change your driving behavior. If you just got distracted for split second, you might hit that truck and in california, it is your fault.

I have a Q50s gasser and I've hit 158mph multiple times

OK, let me know once you check it, I wonder if it is normal or not. I was at full charge starting all the runs (6 bars). On the other hand in the third video (87-143mph run) it starts to shut down the electric motor at 230km/h (143mph). But I was at full charge at 140 km/h (87 mph). Strange thing...

I will let you know. Hopefully sometime this weekend or next week I can check it.

Interesting. I Google Tesla Model S top speed and it is 130mph.
I wonder if that is by design to protect the battery.

Yes, I also noticed it and it was true for all the 3 runs I executed. So it seems the electric motor is shut down after the speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). What is funny I have never noticed it until I recorded my runs. I was simply too busy watching the road at that speed

not the battery but the drive & passengers

OK, so I finally visited Germany and got a chance to verify my beast on their unlimited highways. I was able to hit 262 km/h (163 mph).

First off, thank you! Second, I am truly impressed.

Those videos were awesome. I was grinning the entire video. Granted, I don't have a hybrid, I'm proud to own an Infiniti after seeing that.

155 Q50 premium... felt comfortable and like it could go more.

I've noticed electric cars even with higher horsepower tend to have lower max speeds. I think a lot has to do with them not having more than one gear in the transmission. The Tesla Model S is an electric car with only one gear. It could probably go a lot faster if they gave it two or three.

Not regularly, but sometimes (especially on German highways) it is useful. Many cars go much faster on the left lane and I don't want to be limited by electronic guard

sheer insanity

 

[David_in_CT]

I will let you know. Hopefully sometime this weekend or next week I can check it.

Or the moment you will be bailed out

My bad - could not resist

 

[odq50]

I'm excited to see others go this fast haha. I can't think of a single place in my area where one could go even close to 150mph 'safely'.

O

 

[kkthind]

so the gassers not limited to 147 in north america?

 

[c87]

I'm going to try and hit 155 in the Chicago rush hour after work. I musn't be held back!

 

[IRadi8]

It's Infiniti...duh
