Sebastian Vettel’s FX and all-new Infiniti G25 debuts in Dubai
Infiniti brings freshened FX range and new G variant to the show
By Shahzad Sheikh
Infiniti plans to take 10% of the global luxury market by 2016 and kicks off this ambitious plan at the Dubai Motor Show with the regional debut of the 2012 FX35 and FX50 SUVs, plus the new G25 saloons. Plus there’s the chance to check out a very special FX specced by double Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel.
A 218bhp 2.5-litre V6 with a 7-speed automatic transmission is slotted into the G saloon to become the G25 which sits alongside the G37 introduced last year.
The 2012 FX, a popular range in the Middle East, gets a new front grille and fascia and a new 20-inch wheel design. Inside there’s an updated instrument cluster. The FX35 has a 303bhp 3.5-litre V6 whilst the FX50 gets a thundering 5.0-litre V8.
It’ll also be a chance to check out an FX special created by design icon Shiro Nakamura and Sebastian Vettel giving a glimpse of the special edition dedicated to the young world champ going into production soon.
