The brand new 2012 Infiniti Fx Sebastian Vettel Idea is unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Infiniti put in hours upon hrs collaborating with Vettel and a team from Red Bull Racing to create this particular Infiniti Fx as ’special edition’ as feasible.
Infiniti’s Corporate Vice President Toru Saito stated: “The 2012 Infiniti Forex Sebastian Vettel Concept model is unique and extremely a lot Sebastian’s automobile.
Lastly, a metal plate on the center console features Vettel’s very own signature.
Just six months after the idea first surfaced, the Infiniti FX designed for reigning Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel is unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show.
Changes including increased power, lower weight, derestricted top speed, longer gearing, increased downforce and lowered and stiffer suspension turn what is already a sports car among crossovers into a crossover supercar - the 300km/h reality of the World Champion's vision.
Infiniti's Corporate Vice President Toru Saito said: "The FX Sebastian Vettel version is unique and very much Sebastian's car. But at the same time it is a concept car for Infiniti globally."
"I have been driving an FX all this year and it is a car I love In the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version they are.
The car's revised aerodynamics profile is the result of changes made by Infiniti designers and engineers after meetings involving Sebastian and Red Bull Racing personnel. Design of the splitter and diffuser is inspired by the F1 car, as is the central rear fog light - just like an F1 car's rain light.
At 2049kg, the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version weighs 46kg less than a standard FX50S Premium.
Making the perfect FX for Sebastian was the ideal demonstration of this.
Mechanical changes
No radical engine reworking was necessary to gain the extra 30PS that takes the FX Vettel concept's power output to 420PS. Least of all Sebastian Vettel.
Essentially, however, making an FX to the World Champion's specification required no major changes. Rear Active Steering, an important ingredient in any FX S's blend of agility with stability, plays a key role in ensuring handling fulfils the World Champion's requirements for a road car.
