Infiniti has confirmed that the FX Vettel – shown as a concept at last year’s Frankfurt motor show – will go into limited production.

Just 200 of the cars, designed with input from F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel who is also a brand ambassador for Infiniti, will be built with a price tag of around GBP100,000.

Target markets are the Middle East and western Europe with first deliveries due from January next year.
