Infiniti chose to go a different route with its first hybrid when it introduced the Infiniti M35h. With 360 hp from its 3.5-liter V-6 and hybrid-electric drive train, the luxury hybrid sedan certainly can't be placed in the same league as your average hybrid. The M35h challenges the notion that hybrid cars can't also be sporty, offering rear-drive performance and luxury that rivals some of its non-hybrid contemporaries.
The car slots between the standard V-6-powered M37 and range-topping V-8-powered M56 as the sporty yet fuel-efficient model in the M range. Like its gas-only counterparts, the M35h places emphasis on luxury, with a richly-appointed interior that's heavy on leather and wood trim. The car also places emphasis on sportiness, with sports sedan-like handling and uncommon acceleration for a hybrid. (0 - 100kph in 4.4 seconds).
Also standard is Infiniti's Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System, an ABS system, Brake Assist with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
The M35h is rated at 27/32 mpg city/highway. In addition, the combined output from the 3.5-liter V-6 and hybrid system is an impressive 360 hp, a fact that helped the M35h claim the title of world's fastest full hybrid in 2011.
This vehicle has a x16 speaker 'Bose' sound system with four speakers built into the front seats. It has a 'Mega' hard-drive built in which you can keep approximately x100 albums of your choice and play them anytime.
The car is in excellent condition and is 'Obsidian Black' (Iridescent Purple), and has four brand new tyres. I have purchased another 'Toy' now so my baby has to go.
This Hybrid does not have to be plugged into a power socket. (It charges up when the petrol engine takes over).
Photos don't do it justice. Open to OFFERS.
