"After a 20-year journey, we believe Infiniti is ready... with a
fresh, distinctive choice for Europe's most discerning customers,"
said Mr. Ghosn
The original Infiniti FX debuted in North America in 2003 and
since then has become a favourite of media and owners alike in
markets around the world, including Taiwan, South Korea, the Middle
East, Ukraine, Russia and China. The Infiniti global network
currently includes more than 240 dealers in 15 countries.
The all-new Infiniti FX50 is a radical expression of sport and
style - offering exceptional levels of power, refinement, safety and
driving exhilaration. Created as a fusion of sports car and SUV, with
breathtaking design, sports car-like proportions and an advanced
sports car platform, the new FX50 is a showcase of Infiniti's design
and technology leadership.
The FX50 is powered by a new 390-horsepower 5.0-liter 32-valve V8
engine with Infiniti's advanced Variable Valve Lift & Event (VVEL)
technology. The engine is backed by a new 7-speed automatic
transmission with Adaptive Shift Control and solid magnesium paddle
shifters. Other performance credentials include standard Intelligent
ATTESA E-TS(TM) Four-Wheel Drive, suspension with active Continuous
Damping Control, Rear Active Steer, large 4-wheel disc brakes with
Intelligent Brake Assist and 21-inch lightweight aluminum-alloy
wheels.
FX50's sporty interior is designed to combine a driver-oriented
cockpit/command center with a warm, modern, comfortable passenger
environment - all wrapped in rich, natural materials. The high-tech
interior design includes an Infiniti signature "double-wave"
instrument panel and white and violet electroluminescent gauges,
sports seating, intuitive controls and advanced audio, navigation and
entertainment systems ranging from an 11-speaker Bose(R)-developed
audio system to Infiniti Intelligent Key, Intelligent Cruise Control
and standard Around View Monitor system.
"With its athletic stance, its long, sleek nose and the roofline
with its coupé arc, you can see immediately how our designers have
artfully blended sports-car DNA with the high shoulders and imposing
presence of an SUV." said Carlos Ghosn. "From October, Europeans will
have that opportunity to experience for themselves the feeling of
Infiniti.."
The FX50 will be displayed along with three other Infiniti models
at the Geneva Motor Show: G37, G37 Coupé and EX37. Infiniti Europe
has established its headquarters in nearby Rolle, Switzerland.
