2011 MUSTANG GT PACE CAR!

While Chevrolet’s Camaro SS has served as the iconic Indianapolis 500 pace car for ages, the blue oval hopes to shake things up a bit after a 40 year absence from the Daytona 500 when a 2011 Ford Mustang GT is used to lead the grid around the oval on February 14th, this is quite a move considering that the 412 HP 21st century 5.0 will be the first Ford to serve as the pace car for NASCAR’s biggest race since a Torino GT convertible guided the pack back in 1970.

The Mustang GT Daytona 500 Pace Car will feature a special Daytona 500 Race Red livery with American inspired racing stripes in white and blue. Underneath the new sheet metal, the new GT will have a the all new 32 valve 5.0 Liter V8 that makes over 400 HP on low octane and 390 lb-ft of torque while returning 25 MPG. In order to handle repeated trips around the high banking, the Mustang will be equipped with a Ford Racing suspension and strut tower brace to keep the car tracking straight while unique color matching wheels wrapped in high performance rubber and a set of loud pipes so that the fans will hear it coming.

After the big race, the Mustang pace car will roll across the auction block on January 23rd at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation with its special interior adornments, lit sill plates and all. Not to mention that this will be one of the first 5.0s to have a VIN stamped on it which will only increase the pony car’s collectibility.

2010 Toyota FT-CH

new 2010 toyoto ft-ch:

Toyota’s plans are to offer a wider variety of conventional hybrid choices to its customers. This variety will include plug-in hybrids (PHVs), battery electrics (BEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCHVs). This is why, today at the Detroit Auto Show the company brought the FT-CH (compact hybrid) concept.

Compared to a Prius, the FT-CH is 22 inches shorter in overall length, yet loses less than an inch in overall width, meaning it will offer maximum passenger comfort and interior roominess.

The FT-CH was designed to capture the high-energy appeal of the 8-bit generation: fun and innovative, colorful and stylish, with strong appeal to young buyers.

Compared to a Prius, the FT-CH is lighter in weight and even more fuel efficient, but will also be cheaper.
