"The idea of the all-new Fuse Sports Coupe is a reflection of the boundless limits and creative envelope that embodies all the vital personalization components of a Scion product," said Mark Templin, Scion vice president. "Since the launch of Scion three years ago, designers have learned a great deal about what inspires and motivates Scion buyers through its unique vehicle lineup and instilled them into the Fuse."It is also inspired by "HAKO" super GT racing cars of Japan, commonly known as the JGTC series. Fuse has a low, aggressive stance with a race helmet-inspired wraparound window that provides a panoramic view. The visor-like wraparound windshield is balanced by a strong C-pillar, adding a sense of security and protection.
"The Fuse is a styling exercise that presents a discussion starting point for Scion owners and other Gen Y consumers with an eye towards a versatile sports coupe," said Templin. "Like previous Scion concepts, the Fuse delivers a unique statement about what the Scion brand is all about and where it is headed."
A drive-by-wire steering interface mixes influences from race cars and video game controllers in a remarkable module. A media station is the highlight of the cabin. Car occupants can watch movies, play video games, or do both, with dual display 10.5-inch monitors. Occupants can utilize video screens or take advantage of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) connectivity and instant messaging services of Fuse. In driving mode, the video screens turn off and a multi-informational display is used for driver information.
