Infiniti Emerg-E eco-supercar revealed

The design of the Infiniti Emerg-E was leaked out from the patent office earlier this month. Now, the real deal has been revealed ahead of its Geneva unveiling. Emerg-E is the concept car by Infiniti, designed to showcase the svelte new Infiniti design cues and the range-extender drivetrain. The drivetrain is mid-mounted in this application. At the moment, details are still scarce, but the wait is just two weeks before the Geneva Motorshow raise its curtain. For now, just enjoy the Japanese concept car that is as stylish as the Italian!

The Ultimate SUV - Infiniti FX50 Sebastian Vettel Concept

We don't see a super-SUV often, and there are currently only a few of them. BMW X6M and Porsche Cayenne Turbo are typical examples. Welcome to the latest addition in the elitist circle of mega-SUV, the one-off concept of Infiniti FX50 Sebastian Vettel Edition.

Produced to commemorate the relationship between Infiniti and Red Bull Racing team, the SUV has been enhanced with a host of critical updates. The engine, though remained at 5.0l V8, has been uprated from 390bhp to 420bhp through some tweaking in the ECU and revised exhaust system. Speed limiter has been removed too, and the car now reached 300km/h, with 5.6 seconds of century sprint.

Exterior of the car is adorned with carbon fibre parts including skirting, air intakes, side mirrors and rear spoiler. These aerodynamics appendages (some are inspired by RB7 bodywork design) together with 20mm lower stance helped to reduce the aerodynamic drag by 5% and increase the downforce by 30%. Weight has been trimmed too by 46kg. The black wheel are 21" in diameter.

The interior of the car was littered with carbon fibre and alcantra. These materials can be found on the seat, console and door trims.

Full gallery can be found after the jump.

Infiniti FX50 - Sebastian Vettel Edition

We have heard for quite sometimes that the commercial agreement between Infiniti and Red Bull Racing (RBR) could spawned a road car project. What surfaced out ahead of Frankfurt motorshow is not a complete new car, but a world champion edition of Infiniti flagship, FX50 Sebastian Vettel Edition. What is obvious is only cosmetic changes. The front bumper is entirely different to bread and butter FX, with more deliberate lower intake design. This wavy design could be inspired by ground-hugging RBR front wing with all the wing element and cascades element included!

The rims is different too, so are the rear spoiler. As depicted is photos below, the changed item could be carbon-fibre composites item. The DRL is added too in the lower bumper. Mechanically still unknown, but we could see some special power hikes to celebrate the defending world champion commanding lead in 2011 F1 season. Two more detail photos after the jump.
