Infiniti confirmed that the concept car Infiniti FX designed and built for the two-time world champion in Formula One Sebastian Vettel will go into production. The ‘FX version Sebastian Vettel, Who was the star of the stand to Infiniti International Motor Show in Frankfurt last September, has design improvements, technical and aerodynamic suggested by the sample Red Bull Racing and Global Ambassador of the Infiniti brand.

The Executive Vice President Andy Palmer, Infiniti says:

Making the FX version of Sebastian Vettel for the Frankfurt Motor Show was fun, but it is also a pilot project. In short, it is our equivalent of AMG Mercedes-Benz or the BMW M series. We wanted to test and see if the organization was able to get away with this kind of special versions. The FX version of Sebastian Vettel has shown that we can produce special versions in a few specimens, and will be one of the first to be marketed.

The idea of concept car arose from a conversation between Sebastian Vettel, who was driving an Infiniti FX already, and the Creative Director of Infiniti Shiro Nakamura to Geneva Motor Show 2011. The 5-liter V8 engine has been optimized to generate 420 hp and, with a high downforce aerodynamic package developed by Infiniti in collaboration with Red Bull Racing, the crossover from 300 km / h, he graduated as the most special and sporty crossover ever built. The details of the version that will go into production – availability, volumes and prices – will be confirmed later.

Infiniti is the brand of luxury cars of the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Infiniti sales officially started in North America on November 8, 1989 and since then its activities have grown worldwide to include Mexico, the Middle East, South Korea, Taiwan, Russia, China and Ukraine. Today, the Infiniti global network includes more than 230 dealerships in 15 countries.

Continue the rumors about latest models derivative from the Nissan GT-R and Infiniti marked: after repeat assumption about a sports sedan, now seems quite real even the idea of a super SUV, in opponent to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. All together models serve up mainly to earn Nissan, as the GT-R is a loss-making process and that several structural and mechanical parts are designed in particular for this model.

For the sedan target is the BMW M5 and Porsche Panamera Turbo, by means of the same V6 bistro 480Cv from the coupe, while the Super SUV is the chance of using the 5-liter V8 the FX50 led to 420Cv. We will have to wait until 2011 to know whether this will become reality or not.

The GT-R is loosely base on Nissan’s stretchy FM stage but it contains so many unique elements that engineers have a separate name for the stage – PM premium mishap. Nissan has admitted that the GT-R is a non-profitable model, which is part of the reason that the corporation would like to develop other models based on its expensive hardware.
