The Infiniti Q50 will take around 30 seconds to reach 150 mph.

The Infiniti Q50 is sporty, with a 0 to 60 time of 5 seconds. However, it’s far from a sports car. From a standstill, it will still take around 30 seconds to reach 150 mph while flooring the throttle pedal. Take note that traveling at those speeds is extremely dangerous, especially in places that aren’t straight empty highways.

To keep you and your passengers safe, as well as to prevent being stopped by law enforcement, remember to always follow the indicated speed limit on the highway.
