  • Sebastian Vettel at a track with the Infiniti G37 and FX50

    Late yesterday we brought you a new video released by Infiniti depicting its brand ambassador, Formula 1 ace Sebastian Vettel, talking with design director Shiro Nakamura and looking over some concept sketches for what’s believed to be a new special edition model destined to debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. While we initially thought the model would be a Vettel-tuned IPL G Coupe, new details suggest that it could be based on the recently revealed 2012 Infiniti FX. As Vettel and Nakamura stand around a table littered with parts from Red Bull's F1 car in the video, we get a few...

The new car will slide in below the G37 Coupe, and will be aimed squarely at luxury two-seaters like the BMW Z4 and Audi TT. Infiniti will use a front-engined, rear-wheel layout to deliver a spry ride, and will turn to Lotus for help in...
