Infiniti's FX Vettel Edition Is The Most Savage Super-SUV You Can't Afford
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The £100k FX Vettel Edition sure is a brash beast, but when it's packing a V8 as sweet as this, you won't think twice about the haters. Subscribe to Car Throttle: bit.ly/Zl0sWj

100% agree, it smashes AMG G63's stock. So if you supercharge a FX50S, youll be #1 everywhere
This is a great competitor for the urus! If you throw in 1 supercharger and 540 hp

To be fair for what it is that's pretty quick, good Q car
What kind of exhaust is it? X-pipe?
Considering that a race car driver was involved in the development of the car, I think a 'Vettel Edition' should've been a coupe or a small sedan. Of course there are some quality high-performance SUVs, but SUVs are cars that are supposed to shine off-road rather than tarmac. So making an SUV that's barely capable of off-roading seems completely pointless. A coupe or a sedan would've attracted more people from my perspective because they're better suited for agility on tarmac.

hyungwoo0312 Range Rovers are the only SUVs that are really good off road. The Wrangler has no space and luxury and is a pure off-roader. That infinity is a typical SUV, has no ground clearance whatsoever, and will be useless on anything more than a bumpy road.

No idea how many they eventually sold in the UK but of the 15(ish) UK cars I wonder where they ended up. I moved the same car four times from factory to dealer and back again. It might have had just 10 miles on the clock by the end of it but had travelled several hundred miles on the back of the truck. The first time I clapped eyes on it I wasn't that impressed but it had sat in a compound at the factory for so long it was just green and manky all over.
The price increase is because of the Vettel namesake, limited availability, and the carbon fiber parts. The 5.0 v8 is a beast in itself but the 5.6 v8 vd engine in the patrol is faster. Maybe do a future swap. Driving the v6 version of the fx/qx they are really great cars with good balanced power and torque.
Wow! Nice car👍😎

It was tuned also but it's disappointing for that price. Infiniti should've at least put the 5.6L Engine. Better yet, they should've put a Supercharger on the 5.0L Engine to generate 500HP. Jaguar added a Supercharger to their 5.0L Engine in the F-Pace SVR.

This car has to be the most amazing, powerful, luxury Infiniti but...until the Q50 RS400 Eau Rouge came over with a 956hp quadturbo inline-6 engine that can do 350mph and 0-60 2.4 secs which was insane for nissan at the time quarter mile 13.2 seconds and half mile 10.5 seconds transmission from a nissan gtr track package nismo tuned...pretty insane power for the time floor it your into space! Of course the 187 mph vettel edition is our main dish for right now...but you've got to say 3.8T 956hp quadturbo Inline-6 to the limits! Vettel edition is based on access evolution Infiniti 2003-2012
damn nice SUV.
The front look like Maserati hopped in and helped out with this car cause it looks just like a Maserati replica only in the front though
did they allow you on the plane with those guns?
how much is that in usd

I wonder if anyone has ever toyed with the idea of putting that engine in a GTR, if it's possible. It would make power gains much easier and probably have more torque over the normal V6.

You know something is expensive when the Cayenne Turbo and the G Wagen are cheaper alternatives! And you could get almost 3 SRT8 cherokees for that price haha. It is still weirdly cool just too expensive, but thats what you pay for exclusivity I guess.

Infiniti will be no longer making this car anyways. This is the last year for the FX50 because it doesn't sell that well. I want one but I'd have to do a nation wide search for one. Not this model though, because for six figures, I'd want something faster and not a SUV.

I'll get a Range Rover instead of this.
This is the worse, most inaccurate review I've seen in a long time. First of all it has 420 horsepower not 440. The guy even accurately states that the Vettel has and extra "29" horsepower from the original. Well the original has 390. Do the math sir. Second, the original FX50 will do 0-60 in 5.0-5.1 seconds, so this Vettel with lighter weight and 30 extra horsepower should go ummmm faster. Third, the top speed isn't 187. Yes, this is what they were shooting for but had admitted it will only to 170 miles per hour.
