![]() ![]() The Camry has been most competitive at the intermediate-sized tracks where the Mustang has struggled so it makes sense that they’re going with the opposite approach and trying to build on their performance at other styles of tracks. The variety of aerodynamic elements we see in these launch photos appear to show details that maximize on the numbers allowed inside of that aerodynamic efficiency box set by NASCAR without taking drastic measures in any one specific direction. ![]() While Ford appears to have focused largely on performance at intermediate tracks with their latest Mustang racer, Toyota appears to have taken a more wholesale approach with the design of the Camry Cup car. At first glance, the Camry Cup car appears to be more subdued than the outgoing variant but a closer look shows a variety of details that point to overall improved aerodynamic performance along with better compatibility for drafting tracks like Daytona and Talladega. The new Toyota Camry XSE Cup car moves away from the angular front end of the previous generation over to a flatter front end that resembles the “hammerhead” design elements of the recently introduced Camry production car. While we saw Ford take an aggressive approach with the Mustang front end with some sharp and tall fenders, Toyota appears to have taken a more balanced approach in order to maximize on every element allowed by NASCAR inside of that aerodynamic efficiency box. Both Ford and Toyota have taken the opportunity to sneak in aerodynamic improvements for their Cup Series counterparts with these production car updates. The Mustang and the Camry got new faces this year, and that means those cars need matching redesigns in NASCAR. Here's the New Toyota Camry NASCAR Cup Car Toyota Racing Development / Scott LePage
