Infiniti unveils FX Vettel Edition

Inspired and developed in collaboration with the reigning Formula 1 champion Sebastian Vettel, Infiniti unveiled their FX Vettel Edition car. Bringing to life the double world champion’s wish, this new car is the most powerful and expensive Infiniti ever made. 

Under the hood, this limited edition hosts a 5-litre V8 engine that produces 420PS of power, has a limited top speed of 250km/h and is capable of touching 100km/h from standstill in just 5.6 seconds. But that isn’t the only awe-inspiring fact about the car. Light and extremely aerodynamic, offering greater downforce at high speeds, the car uses the same carbon-fibre standard that is used in the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 cars. The Red Bull Racing driver has also been instrumental as part of the test driving team, providing much valuable feedback to the engineers. 

The car was first sketched out by Vettel along with Shiro Nakamura, Infiniti's Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Six months later, the FX Vettel Edition concept made its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. 

The Infiniti FX Vettel Edition is available only in Moonlight White at a price of €120,000 (Rs 83 lakh approx). Only 150 units of this limited edition car will be made, of which 50 units have been assigned to Middle East, Russia and Western Europe, respectively.
