With its sophisticated technology, lightweight components and features such as Rear Active Steering for maximum agility, the V8 FX50S Premium – INFINITI’s flagship as well as its best-selling model in some markets – provides the ideal starting point for the FX Sebastian Vettel version. What began as a chat between the Red Bull Racing driver and INFINITI’s Chief Creative Officer, Shiro Nakamura, at the Geneva Show in March was revealed, in concept form, as INFINITI’s fastest car yet and, probably, the most exclusive crossover ever made.
