Close...but...the G37S already came with summer compound tires. Part of the performance improvement in the current Q50S set-up is the (much) lighter weight wheels. Reduction in wheel/tire weight pays dividends on all fronts.

I was told by the dealer that the Q50 hybrid was the fastest infiniti on their lot.

As a general rule, you can take whatever the dealer tells you with a grain of salt

The first 2014 Q50S tested by C&D posted 5.2 for 0-60, the hybrid 5.1 but the latest Q50S with the new wheel/tire package, minus DAS was reported as 0.2 faster than the first one tested, so that would be 5 seconds flat by my math. So it looks like the hybrid was the quickest until the new wheel/tire package for the S became available.

Hybrid is the fastest Infiniti Sedan at the moment due to the extra HP. It supposedly makes 360 HP.

The hybrid weighs in at 4021 pounds. The S with the wheel/tire package weighed in at 3713 pounds. Probably the reason that C&D reports it as quicker to 60 that the hybrid.
