Vettel's Infiniti FX confirmed for production

With the VIP SUV officially going on sale, here are some more racer-inspired vehicles from the past...

Posted: 20 Oct 2011

Infiniti sponsors Red Bull F1, so a Vettel ‘special edition' Infiniti was inevitable. But why, oh luxury-arm-of-Nissan, did you slap the world champ's name across your lardiest 4x4? Why not the nice little G37?

Sure, this tweaked FX50 has an F1-ish front bumper and big rear wing. Sure, it has 25bhp more than the standard FX50, and a de-restricted 186mph top speed. But, this beast has the F1 heritage of a rhino wearing a HANS device. But at least it's not the worst racing-driver special in history...
