Video: 2013 Sprint Cup Ford Fusion vs. 2012 Car of Tomorrow

Updated: 2:30 p.m. EST - We've added the official body specs of the 2013 Sprint Cup Ford Fusion. You'll see on the blueprint that the 2013 Fusion's nose extends 2" further than the 2012 model. The wheelbase is unchanged while the spoiler has moved forward 2". There's a multitude of other changes as well. Check out the images below.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. - Wednesday's Daytona International Speedway track session opened with the Ford Motor Company officially presenting the 2013 Sprint Cup Ford Fusion to gathered fans and media. The car was placed outside the media center next to a 2012 Wood Brothers show car and opened for everyone to compare and contrast.

NASCAR Ranting and Raving shot exclusive video of the two cars and will give you the opportunity to decide for yourselves. What's different? Do you prefer the 2013 model or are you a fan of the pre-existing Car of Tomorrow?

Watch the video below and tell us in the comments section!

I only wish they had dressed up the showcar in 2012 Wood Bros. livery so we could truly compare.

I guess we'll have to leave that up to you guys once the models are released, right?

I doubt that’ll be anytime soon, honestly. We didn’t get 2011 models until Talladega last year even.
