A One-Off "FX" for Vettel is Born!
Infiniti will unveil a Sebastian Vettel version of its high-performance crossover, the "FX," at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Produced by an F1 World Champion
Grand Prix driver Sebastian Vettel, who rewrote F1's youngest records with a Grand Prix win at 21 and a World Championship at 23. While actively racing as a Red Bull driver since 2009, he also serves as Infiniti's Global Brand Ambassador.
The FX, tuned specifically for Vettel, will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Developed from the "FX 50S Premium," which features a 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 390 hp and 51 kgm of torque, it reflects Vettel's request for a crossover capable of reaching 300 km/h on Germany's Autobahn. Incidentally, this model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (with limiter engaged).
The FX was originally designed with thorough weight reduction through the use of aluminum for body panels and various parts. With advice from Red Bull Racing, the engine and suspension have been tuned, and aerodynamic performance further enhanced through body modifications. The interior has also been finished to his taste, making it truly a one-off model "for Vettel."
Vettel himself will present the vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and the proceedings, along with Infiniti's press conference, will be broadcast on www.infinitieurope.com.
