Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has a new livery for its racing efforts. The automaker has officially chosen an offset black and blue stripe as its family colors. The paint scheme officially debuted on the new 2013 Ford Fusion (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fusion) headed to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nascar sprint cup), but the automaker says we can expect to see it crop up in every corner of the company's racing program. That includes on the NASCAR Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang), the NHRA Mustang Funny Car, Grand-Am Focus ST-R (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus st), the Rally America Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta), the BITD off-road F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150), the CTCC Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus) and the V8 Supercar Falcon in Australia. How's that for a family portrait?
We've already seen a hint of the new livery on prototype models like the new twin-turbo Cobra Jet (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/30/ford-racing-debuts-twin-turbo-mustang-cobra-jet-concept-w-video/), but Ford says the actual racers will feature the gloss black and blue stripes on a matte black field. We like the sound of that combo. Check out the quick press release below (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/10/31/ford-picks-black-and-blue-stripes-as-official-racing-colors/#continued) for more information.Continue reading Ford picks black and blue stripes as official racing colors (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/31/ford-picks-black-and-blue-stripes-as-official-racing-colors/)
