Sebastian Vettel’s Infiniti FX50 S will cost over £100,000

The Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel will be priced just over 120,000 euros in Europe, or just above £100,000 in the UK, Autocar UK reported. 50 units of the special edition will be headed for Europe and Infiniti has eight confirmed orders so far, or nine, if one includes the unit the double world champ himself will be getting.

The Sebastian Vettel FX50 S will enter production in October and deliveries start in early 2013. It will be exactly like the concept car shown in Frankfurt last year except for one difference – the matte white paint will be changed to pearlescent white.

Based on the V8-powered FX50 S Premium, Vettel himself has been involved in the development of this special edition, and is said to have specified its sportier chassis setup. Red Bull Racing designed the crossover’s carbonfibre bodykit, which is functional and adds performance – downforce and five per cent lower drag to be specific.

If Europe gets 50, there will be 150 units of the Vettel FX to go around the rest of the world. In Malaysia, the 2012 Infiniti FX37 is priced from RM435,000 OTR excluding insurance.
