Inifiniti has just provided full details and additional photos with their ‘ultimate FX’, and we’re talking about the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version.
This unique SUV based on the V8 FX50S Premium comes with numerous components inspired from Formula 1 cars, most of which are made from carbon fiber and are playing an important role in improving the car’s drag coefficient. These mainly refer the splitter and the diffuser with the rest of the elements including the sills, the front grille, the mirror covers and the rear wing.
The 21 inch black multi-spoke design wheels fitted on the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version have also been weight optimised and play an improtant role in maintaining the SUV’s total mass at 2049 Kg (46 kilos less than the standard version).
A 20 mm lowered suspension, stiffer springs with re-rated dampers, upgraded brakes with 4-piston calipers at the front and 2 piston calliper as the rear are also part of the transformation applied on the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version, but the best part would be the engine tuneup.
Instead of 390 PS the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version is now delivering 420 PS due to a revised ECU, and due to the fact that its speed limiter has been removed, the Japanese SUV can now reach a top speed of 300 Km/h. The 0 to 100 Km/h sprint time has been reduced by two tenths of a second at 5.6 seconds, another improvement made possible by the additional horses and the tweaked suspension with longer overall gearing.
At the interior the Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel version features an steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara, special seats covered in black quilted suede offering extra support, contrasting purple stitching and a metal plate on the center console featuring Vettel’s signature.
That is a great vehicle coming from infiniti
