Amelia Island, Fla. – INFINITI is proud to sponsor and support the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Media Center at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island from March 7 to 10. This year marks the ninth consecutive year for the sponsorship and includes unique experiences for both media and consumers.
As INFINITI is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the INFINITI Pavilion features the Prototype 10 Concept, with a design that captures the spirit of early speedsters and nods to INFINITI's future electrification plans, offering thrilling performance and extended range. INFINITI will also display its current SUV lineup, including the 2019 QX50, QX60 and QX80. Additionally, the lounge offers Internet access and charging stations for phones, laptops and other equipment.
On March 10, the center moves to The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach, where media will have a view of the hundreds of vintage, classic and historic racing vehicles spread out across the golf course's 10th and 18th fairways.
Also on March 10 is the "Cars of the Rock Stars" class, with an array of vehicles owned by well-known rock stars, as well as instruments played by John Oates of the legendary rock duo, Hall & Oates. The 2019 INFINITI QX50 that made a 600-mile journey from Nashville – home to INFINITI's North American headquarters – to Amelia Island with four of Oats' guitars in tow also makes an appearance at "Cars of the Rock Stars." INFINITI's hometown connection to "Music City" and the reliability of the QX50 luxury crossover made for a perfect road trip for Oates' priceless guitars.
