Infiniti FX Limited Edition released in Europe

By Tim Beissmann |

If you thought the standard Infiniti FX SUV looked like a shiny version of Jabba the Hut, then you’ll probably agree the new FX Limited Edition looks like he’s been crammed into an Imperial Stormtrooper uniform.

Nerdy Star Wars moment over.

Japanese luxury brand Infiniti (to Nissan as Lexus is to Toyota) is not well known for its special editions, which makes this one almost as rare as a Luke Skywalker figurine from A New Hope that is still in its original packaging. (Okay, really over now.)

Just 100 FX Limited Editions are being produced for Western Europe with 18 of those confirmed for the UK.

Based on either the 235kW 3.7-litre V6 FX37S or the 287kW 5.0-litre V8 FX50S, all the enhancements are visual ones, making the Limited Edition even more of a stand out.

It comes in either Black Obsidian “Scratch Guard” or Moonlight White pearl metallic paintwork and sits on massive 21in dark graphite “Turbine” alloys. The radiator grille, side air vents and roof rails are similarly coordinated.

Inside, leather and alacantra replace lesser materials while carbon fibre is used extensively on the dashboard, centre console and door panels in place of the standard wood.

Other comfort features include the fully integrated navigation, communication and entertainment system with 11 Bose speakers, Michelin Guide, iPod connectivity and a 10GB music drive with Gracenotes database.

Each Infiniti FX Limited Edition is individually numbered and pricing starts from £55,855 (AUD$99,955) for the FX37S and £62,035 ($111,015) for the FX50S.

    I like it. Let’s face it – if this was the latest offering from either Kia or Hyundai (or for that matter BMW) you would be lauding them for their originality and vision.

    I dont know that a fish eye lens is all that appropriate for shots of cars

    I like Nissan’s good cars (like the ACTUAL Maxima, our Maxima [otherwise known as the Teana)] is crap), and I like Infiniti. The FX is a great looking SUV, and I’m sure if Nissan were to bring the Infiniti brand over here they’re range would be praised for looking like something special on our very much bland roads, filled with Commodore, Falcons and any type of Toyota possible. Maybe someday brands like Škoda, Saab and Renault will start to shift their cars in greater volume in Australia.

      Agreed. Some of the nissans in Japan look brilliant, very sophisticated, and IMO much better than lexus over here. They have a wagon that is really sweet as well. I cant understand why we only get the poxy ones. Dont particularly like this, but it might be the photography. The direct side and interior pics look fine, the others are quite bizarre.

      Why doesn’t Nissan sell the actual Maxima in Australia instead of the bland and bloated Teana? The actual Maxima is gorgeous and really sporty looking, I’m sure it would sell better than the Teana. The Altima isn’t bad looking either. I think JDM and USDM Nissans are a lot nicer than the ones we get here…

    I don’t know where you got Jabba the Hut from, but I love the look of the FX. Nissan/Infiniti did a much better job at creating a “coupe” SUV than BMW did with the X6.

    not for aussie when murano with all the fruit is $62k…

      I do believe there is a market for the Infiniti cars, especially the SUV’s. I’m still amazed how many X5s and X6s there are in the posh school district here in Brisbane. These would go down a treat.

  • CrustyTheClown

    Will they be selling them in AUS>

  • Shak

    Am i the only one that thinks this thing is butt ugly. We already have the awesome Murano and the Pathfinder and Patrol can do the off road thing soo much better so whats it got to do downunder?

  • ohreally

    so this is the luxo model of the Dualis?

    nice interior, black rims and rear quarter

    although i will never be sold on the crossover vehicle

    My favorite part about the special edition FX37s is definately the rims. I love the color and the turbine style is sweet! Now i only wish the engine got a nice kick in the form of Horsepower!
