2002 Infiniti FX45 Concept news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
The second generation FX45 Concept, which made its world debut at the 2002 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, follows by one year the appearance of a similarly named and themed FX45 Concept – both described by Nakamura as 'Bionic Cheetahs' for their combined emphasis on sports car performance wîth SÚV utility. The second generation FX45 Concept has been completely redesigned inside and out but remains an aggressive, V8-powered, all-wheel drive sports luxury design.
The FX45 Concept takes full advantage of its 112.2-inch long wheelbase, wide stance and 21-inch wheels and tires to create a strong presence, whether in motion or at rest. Rather than adopt a 'blended' minivan/wagon/sedan approach, its designers sought an aggressive image – strong, fast and agile – so that the FX45 Concept looks the way it drives. The exterior suggests sports car shapes, but wîth modern packaging and architecture. The cabin is moved rearward, set back like a sports car, wîth long doors and the tires pushed out to the corners. A large, Infiniti-style grille and narrow horizontal headlights reinforce the classic sports car effect.
Inside, the FX45 Concept's highly personalized four-passenger interior offers a rich blend of handcrafted Brick-colored leather and polished aluminum accents. Each of the four individual power-operated seats has been designed for the person who will be using it – a driver's area that allows concentration on driving, a front passenger seat that indulges the occupant wîth individual heating and cooling controls, intuitive storage and soft lighting, and a state-of-the-art entertainment area wîth an overhead DVD display and game system for rear seat passengers. The instrument panel offers a special 'floating' instrument cluster wîth a large 9.5-inch LCD monitor.
A production version of the FX45 Concept has been announced as a future addition to the Infiniti lineup and will go on sale in early 2003.Source - Infiniti
