Follow on Google News | The 2013 NASCAR Ford Fusion Will Soon Make Its NASCAR DebutFusion race teams will attempt to win their fourth Daytona 500 in five years with a vehicle that looks very close to the consumer models found at Arlington Heights Ford.
The development for the 2013 NASCAR Ford Fusion began over two years ago. The initial clay model of the NASCAR Ford Fusion was sculpted alongside its production counterpart. It really is a Fusion at its core, and that’s no accident.

After the initial full-size model was met with an enthusiastic reception, Ford when to work on getting the car to meet NASCAR-mandated targets for aerodynamics while remaining faithful to the design of the mainstream Fusion vehicle. The production 2013 Fusion was introduced to the world at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, while the NASCAR edition was unveiled two weeks later at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Of course, all the work paid off, and the vehicle was manufactured in summer of 2012. A triumphant exclamation point on the conclusion of the development process occurred when ten NASCAR Fusions made their way through the streets of Charlotte exactly one year after the vehicle was first shown to the public. The Fusion race teams will attempt to win their fourth Daytona 500 in five years this weekend.
