Badass! I've never been up close to a modern f1 car (unless seeing them at COTA counts) but I desperately want to, is that just one dealership who happened to have access to one and put it in their showroom or is there some Infiniti promotion where they take it to different dealerships?

Mexico. They had the car for a weekend, then gone. I guess they brought it here because this city is where Esteban Gutierrez is from.

I am jealous. Very nice, though. I assume that is an RB9? Thanks for that post.

Its an older model, i think an Rb6, look at the 4th picture, it has a kind of finn between the rear spoiler and the middle part.

Yeah, I'll miss that sound.
Hell, when you're close to them and there's several going by you can feel them. Hopefully the V6's still do that.

Something interesting I just noticed about this car when I was looking at the pictures for the second time. In the cockpit picture, you can clearly see an Aussie flag painted on some kind of lever on the left hand side. However, the livery has a #1 on it. So maybe it was Webber's car made to look like Seb's?

I don't think the RB6 was #1 at the time, however it is not uncommon for F1 teams to use older models as demo cars after dressing them up in their newest livery to show current sponsors (and also in this case, car numbers), which this one has been given that treatment. I just find it funny that they seem to put Seb's number on everything that's a demo and never Webber's. Oh well, he's off to Porsche now, so he probably doesn't mind :P
