During this week Austin Dillon will be shaking down the supposed new gen 7 chassis with NASCAR engineers and was originally intended to be a very private/ no media test day. Leave it to Austin to let us get a good first look at the car! he posted a brief walk around video and a still shot of the rear and it is easy to spot some immediate differences. In the front there appears to be a chin spoiler-ish design on top of the splitter and more prominent definitions in the front bumper cover. For this car the are using hood vents that I would assume are venting from the radiator and are also using a c7r style upper intake rather than the traditional cowl induction. Along the side of the car features a set of 18x(most likely 10.5") BBS wheels with 5 lug nuts, A different side skirt which flows from the back side of the tire, single exit side exhaust which most likely indicates a symmetrical design of exhaust and a steeper windshield angle. On the back of the car the decklid has been all but removed, a similar sized spoiler is in place and most importantly there is now a diffuser under the rear valence! I am dying to know more about this and there is a lot of speculation about this new car right now. Thought?
