After unveiling the
2013 NASCAR Fusion at Charlotte Motor Speedway in January, Ford Racing is using
the annual Memorial Day Weekend race at the track to highlight the first
version of its new car in a team paint scheme.
Fans will be able to
get their first look at the 2013 Motorcraft Ford Fusion of the Wood Brothers
this week, beginning on Thursday at the annual Roush Fenway Fan Day in Concord,
NC. After that, the car will be located in the Ford Consumer Display at CMS
this weekend, and is scheduled to be a regular part of the traveling exhibit
throughout the remainder of the 2012 season.
The famed No. 21
Fusion is outfitted in its traditional Motorcraft paint scheme and is courtesy
of the Ford Design Studio, which played a major role in the exterior look of
the car. What makes it unique is the detail of the character lines and how it proportionally
mirrors the 2013 production Fusion.
Take a very close look,
though. Do you notice anything different about this car?
While it looks like an
actual stock car; all buffed and ready to go 600 miles in the Coca-Cola 600
this weekend, it’s actually a full-sized clay model that was produced by the
Design Center in Dearborn.
Sleek looking ride.
ReplyDeleteSo, the new Ford Fusion is the old Ford Probe?
ReplyDeleteI will be interested in seeing the real thing pictures later this week, but I love the full-sized clay model look too. At least it looks similar to the 2013 Ford Fusion showroom version.
ReplyDeleteDamn... that is one sharp looking car! A shame they're gonna have to block that nose down to 2 inches for the Superspeedways....
