CARandDRIVER takes 2009 Infiniti FX50S from 0-60 in 5 secs

April 23, 2008 Omar Rana

Yes, that’s faster than the Ford Mustang GT and 0.1 second faster than the BMW 335i. Currently the 2008 Infiniti FX tops out at 320-hp but when the redesigned 2009 model arrives in dealers this summer the FX will be taken to a whole other level.

The 2009 Infiniti FX entry level model will come with a 3.5L V6 that produces 303-hp. The range-topper, FX50, will now be powered by a 5.0L V8 producing 390-hp. The latter comes with some crazy amount of performance for an SUV. In CARandDriver’s road test, drivers were able to accelerate the 2009 FX50S from 0-60 in 5 seconds flat.

To us, that’s highly-impressive – but don’t you think we’re getting a little crazy with these insanely powerful SUVs that mostly moms will be using to haul kids to their games?
