Today we share two of the domestic
manufacturer modified street cars spotted at the 2016 SEMA (Specialty Equipment
Market Association) show in Las Vegas Nevada.
Ford Motor Company presented a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport Sedan
known as ‘Ballistic’ customized by the folks at Webasto Thermo and Comfort
North America the world leader in air conditioning, sunroofs, and convertible
roofs. The Focus’ Ecoboost™ engine’s 235 horsepower output was increased
through the addition of a JMS Chip Performance BoostMax boost controller and
PedalMax throttle installed and recalibrated by SCT Performance. The car rides
lower and corners betters after the installation of an H&R suspension kit with
the braking ability improved with larger Rotora brakes on all four wheels
On the exterior, Webasto added their own natural finish Kevlar®
front lip spoiler and Kevlar® side skirts along with a heat-extracting hood
with the body finished in ‘Ballistic White’ metallic custom paint sprayed by
MRT Performance. The Fusion rides on 20-inch Modulare Alloy wheels fitted with
Toyo Proxes T1 tires. Webasto also installed an engine heater and a portable
12-volt refrigerator-freezer unit in the trunk. The whole ‘Ballistic’ package is topped by the
installation of a Webasto H735-III comfort in-built sunroof with protective
Venus® glass to reflect 99% of UV radiation, 80% of light and 97% of heat to
protect the Katzkin custom leather and suede upholstery interior. Check out Webasto’s website at https://www.webasto.com/us/
