Infiniti won't sell FX Vettel Edition in the U.S. - Latest Cars Wallpapers

Infiniti confirmed to Edmunds on Friday that it will not sell its FX Vettel Edition through its U.S. dealerships. As you might recall, the FX Vettel Edition made its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011 as a tribute to world champion Infiniti racing driver Sebastian Vettel.

"It is not going on sale in the U.S.," said Kyle Bazemore, an Infiniti spokesman.

Bazemore cited "regulatory" issues for Infiniti's decision not to sell the car here, but the car's six-figure price tag and Formula One connection were likely contributing factors as well.

Set to hit other world markets in the not-too-distant future, the FX Vettel Edition is largely based on the FX50, but boasts a 420 horsepower engine and a top speed of 186mph. The car will be available exclusively in Moonlight White, with the lone option being a carbon fiber rear spoiler.

The 2013 Infiniti FX Vettel Edition will carry a base price of 120,000 euros, or about $155,000.
