Filed under: Frankfurt Motor Show , Infiniti , Racing To say that Red Bull has found success in Formula One would be a gross understatement. The energy drink concern bought its way into the pinnacle of motorsports and, after several seasons of building up the team that started life as Stewart Grand Prix and then became Jaguar Racing, has already secured itself both championship titles and is well on its way to repeating the feat. That’s the kind of success that Infiniti – whose sister company Renault provides Red Bull’s engines – is keen to tap into. And tap into it they have, prominently sponsoring the team, recruiting its top driver Sebastian Vettel as brand ambassador and unveiling a special edition FX crossover here in Frankfurt . And just beside it sat this mockup of the current RB7 grand prix car. Though it surely doesn’t pack all the mechanical bits of the car with which Vettel and his wingman Mark Webber are winning race after race, you wouldn’t know it from looking at the machine up close. See for yourself in our high-resolution gallery of live images. Infiniti shows us what winning looks like with Red Bull F1 mockup originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:58:00 EST.

Sebastian Vettel’s and Infiniti are staying tight-lipped until the Frankfurt Auto Show
Filed under: Frankfurt Motor Show , Performance , Crossover , Infiniti When you’re the reigning F1 world champion – and well on your way to a repeat performance – you should be able to get your hands on any car you want. And in Sebastian Vettel ‘s case, that’s the Infiniti FX . In fact, the young German already owns one and drives it back home in Germany in between grands prix and Infiniti promotional events. But he’s about to get a version catered more to his tastes. And considering his proven taste for speed, that’s bound to translate to some big performance figures. Of course, Infiniti isn’t telling us much in the way of details, preferring instead to tease us incrementally with a video , a solitary picture and now four more as the vehicle’s unveiling in Frankfurt approaches. What it is telling us is that the FX Sebastian Vettel edition is based on the top-spec FX50S Premium and features modifications to the engine, suspension and body, and should be capable of speeds in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph). We’ll evidently have to wait a little longer for further details, but for now you can check out the images in the gallery and the press release after the jump for a closer look. Continue reading Infiniti releases a few more details on Sebastian Vettel’s 186-mph FX special Infiniti releases a few more details on Sebastian Vettel’s 186-mph FX special originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 01 Sep 2011 10:59:00 EST.
