Zaire WilkinsFeb 16, 2012 they should have labled fastest full hybrid sedan cause i see porsche 918 spyder???? < not a fair match
Mike BakhsheshiFeb 15, 2012 Infiniti owner here... Why would you even but a hybrid Porsche in the first place lol!!!... It's like asking what the gas mileage is like on a corvette lololol
Joe CoffeeFeb 02, 2012 Love this. That M is gorgeous!
Submwaru CBJan 24, 2012 Wow, Nissan just destroyed Porsche in the owning category. But I still want the Porsche.
Anthony BudimanJan 24, 2012 Yea the infiniti won IMO because the panamera turned off its traction control.. I wonder if they do a rematch with the panamera's launch control on. I dont think infiniti have launch control anytime soon on their line ups...
Kevin RehbockJan 23, 2012 The 918 is a full hybrid asvit stands now but not the fastest one (yet)
Kevin RehbockJan 23, 2012 A full hybrid can run on gas only, electric only, or both. A mild hybrid can have features like a start/stop system, regenerative braking, and an engine-off coasting mode but they aren't able to run on electric power alone. (ex: Silverado hybrid)
Avery WilliamsJan 23, 2012 Porsche is still better......regardless!
Joel HayesJan 23, 2012 Porsche must be pretty mad at this
Hilda DunnJan 23, 2012 Rather the Porsche but if I got a panamera it wouldn't be the hybrid
Andrew GrimmJan 23, 2012 But why would you upgrade a hybrid?........
ShaneVenhorstJan 23, 2012 Having driven both, I would personally shell out the extra cash for the Porsche myself. Yes, the Infiniti is more speed for the money, but this test was just about acceleration. They haven't touched on the subject of handling, nor the amount of tech features and luxury that go into each car. Acceleration is just part of what makes a sport-luxury sedan.
Zaire WilkinsJan 23, 2012 infiniti gives u more for your money and u have money to put stage 3 turbos on
Zaire WilkinsJan 23, 2012 i want the M56(420hp/417 torque) which is better than the panamera 4s (400hp) and the gts panamera (430hp)
ShaneVenhorstJan 23, 2012 @Dillon, at 0:44 the view was from a mirror. As you may have learned from elementary school, images in mirrors become flipped around.
Chris BridgersJan 23, 2012 I like how ifiniti announces its own car winner
Dillon DixonJan 23, 2012 Oh, and at 0:44 the driver magically switched from a left hand drive to a right hand drive panamera!
Dillon DixonJan 23, 2012 If I was to buy a panamera, it wouldn't be the hybrid. I would still take a panamera over the Infiniti anyday.
Description: The Japanese company pitted the Infiniti M Hybrid against the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid in a straight-line drag race and the win was decisive. Now, before you go all "Yea, but it was produced by ...Add Comments6
Patrick JosephJan 23, 2012 That's why I like reading the comments so much. Apart of a few hot headed bullies you get to learn so much from very interesting people. Keep up the good work fellow petrol heads
ShaneVenhorstJan 23, 2012 That was super a commercial, so of course it was fake.
Kevin RehbockJan 23, 2012 It's true. The manager of all of their breweries got into an argument over which bird of prey was faster and he wanted it verified by a neutral source.
Patrick JosephJan 23, 2012 Mark excuse me but I'm not sure I understood you. Are you saying the beer company started the book? If so that's quite interesting actually.
Frank HummelJan 23, 2012 LOL, without seeing the title at first, i thought it was a Porche ad, but lol, looking at that Paramera in its rear view mirror is funny, kind of reminds me of the old M5 commercial.
Mark NewfangledJan 23, 2012 Guinness the beer company and the Guiness book of world records was started by them.
Ben ArendsJan 24, 2012 Still take the porsche. If you're seriously contemplating the Porsche, and performance is the only thing stopping you, it's called "aftermarket."
These photos don't do it justice, this porsche is so amazing in person.
Vahan GeeJan 24, 2012 The front is okay looking, as for the back.... UGLY!
Matthew LeonJan 23, 2012 i thought ut was cady station wagon
John SerelyJan 23, 2012 I would still take the Porsche. Car and driver said it was the best handling luxury sedan, and that is as important to me as acceleration. But...I would not get either if I was looking for a car in that price range, I would get a 4S or a S class or anything in that price range that is not a hybrid for that matter lol (no offense to hybrids so don't hate, but I am just not a fan of most hybrids).
Josiah Thomas ClementsJan 23, 2012 Yea, but the Infiniti is a better deal. Better performance for a cheaper price. You can't beat that!
Dillon DixonJan 23, 2012 Yeah, didn't think of that. Oops! Still think this is a much cooler car!
Nick EspinozaJan 23, 2012 Its just the image mirrored. Probably did it for video flow and didnt think people would notice
ShaneVenhorstJan 23, 2012 Probably because in the commercial, this picture was the view from the side view mirror. Besides, this was a commercial, it even stated it was dramatized. The real results they are basing this off of was the controlled race back in August. We need to stop analyzing every little detail and read the facts.
Dillon DixonJan 23, 2012 See, now it's a right hand drive!! Something is fishy with this commercial.
Mike BakhsheshiFeb 15, 2012 I never understood why you wouldn't advertise a fully equipped version of the car you are advertising... For example why not use the sport wheels on the Infiniti?
Shawn RobinsonFeb 04, 2012 Probably because you can't afford it , I mean, if you could buy one , I BET you would seriously consider getting one
Tomas FranquelliJan 26, 2012 I'm with Ben. I suppose the Panamera is proabably better to drive, but I would hate to look at it...
Ben FoxJan 23, 2012 Two of the ugliest cars I have ever seen... Who would want to drive either one?
Dillon DixonJan 23, 2012 Left hand drive in this pic, too!
Amazing video editing
they should have labled fastest full hybrid sedan cause i see porsche 918 spyder???? < not a fair match

The 918 is a full hybrid asvit stands now but not the fastest one (yet)
Is a 918 spyder a full hybrid?
Both of them r ugly but Porsche is still better.
.... That's bull -__-
Ken blocks HFHV hybrid is faster and better.
It says Dramatization at the bottom of the screen...
in not talkin about the M35H @ andrew im talkin about the M56S
this really wasn't a comparison it was just an advertisement
It's funny how it looks like a totally different person was opening the porches door
Infinity is a great vehicle.
A full hybrid can run on gas only, electric only, or both. A mild hybrid can have features like a start/stop system, regenerative braking, and an engine-off coasting mode but they aren't able to run on electric power alone. (ex: Silverado hybrid)
What is a full hybrid? -.-
Porsche is still better......regardless!
Porsche must be pretty mad at this
Rather the Porsche but if I got a panamera it wouldn't be the hybrid
