2011 Frankfurt Auto Show: More On Sebastian Vettel's Infiniti FX

 "The first-ever Vettel-badged road car, the FX Sebastian Vettel version is the lightest, fastest and momst aerodynamic FX yet, reflecting the World Champion's desire for a 300km/h Crossover that he can drive on his home country's derestricted Autobahn."

....Is this what rich 24-year-olds are into these days? 186 mph crossovers? I mean, sure, if you're in the market for a crossover, the FX50s is already a pretty sweet compromise, but does it need aero, engine, suspension and body changes just to be able to run on the Autobahn?

The answer here is probably yes. We just wished he'd focused first on a proper diff and the same enhancement to the M56. Next time, then; This is, after all, "The first-ever Vettel-badged road car."

throw out the wing, get it in any version of a black color, then I think it will look nice. Air dams don't look too overdone. Let's see it zip around a track against the X6M. :)
