The perfect high-performance Infiniti Crossover – designed by and built for Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel – will make its debut in concept form at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt next week.

The Red Bull Racing driver and Infiniti global brand ambassador will unveil "his" car on Tuesday afternoon.

The first-ever Vettel-badged road car, the FX Sebastian Vettel version is the lightest, fastest and most aerodynamic FX yet, reflecting the world champion's desire for a 300km/h Crossover that he can drive on his home country's unrestricted autobahns.

Based on the already fast and sporting V8-powered FX50S Premium, the FX Sebastian Vettel version features changes to engine, suspension and body, with aerodynamic enhancements made with input from Red Bull Racing.

The one-off model has an interior personalised to Vettel's taste, which, Infiniti says, "takes the brand hallmarks of exclusiveness and individuality to new heights".
