JAPANESE luxury car brand Infiniti is launching an exclusive limited edition model with VIP treatment for buyers.

Only 150 versions of the EX30d 4x4 Black Premium will be made each coming with two years membership to the Relais & Châteaux Club 5C.

The cars, which cost £45,671 - some £3,000 more than the Premium models on which they are based - are finished in black metallic paint and include 19-inch alloys, a Bose sound system and graphite leather interiors.

Infiniti is the official automotive partner to Relais & Châteaux which represents more than 500 of the world's leading hotels and restaurants.

The Club 5C programme is normally by invitation only and gives members exclusive privileges.

The limited edition run of the diesel engined EX is being offered by Infiniti across all of its European markets.
