Bobby Unser is getting quite a odd tribute. . Infiniti has created a
tribute to his Indy-winning 1968 car out of a Q60 Convertible
(previously the G37).
From AB
Infiniti Pavilion Display to Feature 2014 Product Line and Specially
Designed 2014 Q60 Convertible Celebrating Bobby Unser's 1968
Indianapolis 500 Win
NASHVILLE, Tenn. For the fourth consecutive year, Infiniti will
support the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance by sponsoring the Media
Center at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island March 7-9, 2014.
Infiniti's impressive Pavilion Display will share space at The Golf
Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach as more than 300 vintage,
classic and historic racing vehicles spread out across the golf
course's 10th and 18th fairways including special classes of show cars
highlighting the 50th anniversary of McLaren Racing, the sports racing
cars of Jochen Mass and special Offenhauser-powered race cars.
In conjunction with the recognition of Offenhauser-powered cars at
this year's show, Infiniti worked with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Hall of Fame Museum to bring Bobby Unser's 1968 Indy 500 race winning
car to the Concours. Infiniti also recruited its design team, headed
by worldwide Design Director Alfonso Albaisa, to commission a one-off
vehicle wrap for the Q60 Convertible special guest Bobby Unser will be
driving throughout the weekend that matches his winning race car.
Reminiscent of the Rislone livery found on Unser's Offenhauser-powered
Eagle, the special wrap features a striking red, yellow, black and
white design finished with the number three found on the winning car.
When not in use, the specially designed Q60 will be displayed near the
Infiniti Pavilion Display next to the 1968 Indy 500 winning race car.
In addition to this special Q60 Convertible, the Infiniti Pavilion
will also showcase a selection of Infiniti vehicles including the 2014
Q70 luxury performance sedan, QX60 7-passenger luxury crossover, QX70
performance crossover, QX80 full-size luxury SUV and the new Q50
luxury sport sedan. Since going on sale last summer, the Q50 continues
to be one of the leading options in the competitive premium sport
sedan segment, incorporating class-leading, world-first technologies
such as Direct Adaptive Steering and Active Lane Control.
"We're incredibly excited to once again show our support for the
Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance this year," said Infiniti Vice
President Michael Bartsch. "Yet again, with Bill Warner at the
helm, the Concours assembled a top selection of significant cars from
all around the world. These cars are representative of the same
passion and performance we try to incorporate into each of our
passenger vehicles. The event continues to inspire fans new and old
and we are proud to play a small part in it."

Infiniti Media Center inside the Ritz-Carlton from March 7-8. On March
9, the media center will be moved to the Golf Club of Amelia Island
Clubhouse, adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton. Concours attendees are
