2002 Infiniti FX45 Concept
The second generation Infiniti FX45 Concept continues the Bionic Cheetah theme from the previous FX45 released at last year’s NAIAS. The FX45 offers sports car performance with SUV utility and an advanced all-wheel system.
Powering the FX45 is an advanced 300+ horsepower 4.5-liter V8 based on the class-leading 2002 Infiniti Q45 powerplant.
The aggressive styling of the FX45 Concept is accentuated by its long wheelbase, wide stance, 21-inch wheels and tires, LED taillights and unique roof pillar design.
The Infiniti FX45 Concept offers a highly personalized four-passenger interior wrapped in handcrafted Brick-colored leather with polished aluminum accents. This juxtaposition of warm and cool textures provides a fitting atmosphere for the FX45’s balanced combination of high performance and high luxury. Special equipment featured on the FX45 includes polished aluminum pedals, floating instrument cluster, large navigation monitor screen and rear seat entertainment system.
