"From the first time I saw the Fusion at Ford's design studios, I liked what I saw, the car looked hot," said FunkMaster Flex. "Being selected as the
first customizer to work with an all-new nameplate for Ford was extra special for me, but when they informed me that they wanted me to do a SEMA Fusion I realized I could take my creative vision to the extreme. I now had the power to build the Fusion that every weekend customizer wants to have parked at the end of his driveway."
The exterior is clean and low-key, painted in metallic red with black pin striping, staggered 20-inch black-chrome wheels and low profile tires. The Fusion's clean-looking interior was re-trimmed in ostrich leather, and the standard stereo swapped for a Clarion
navigation system, JL performance speakers, and LCD displays mounted in the rear headrests. Rear-facing cameras that display the image on LCD screens replace the sideview mirrors.
"The interior needs to tie directly into the exterior with enough technology to impress," says Flex.
FunkMaster Flex, a fan of "old school" late '60s and early '70s American models like the Ford Galaxie 500, Gran Torino and Mustang, has also modified a 2005 Ford Mustang on display at the Castrol booth.
In addition to the tuned Fusions, Ford also launched the Flex Fusion Night Club video game, created to be an integral part of the automaker's new urban African-American targeted online web destination www.grownandsexy.com.
