Original Vaccar Edge Sport Concept Available To Own

3/4/2017

It is rare that Vaccar would offer one of the original concepts from the SEMA Show direct for purchase to the public,  but this is one of those moments.  The 2015 Ford Edge Sport by Vaccar was designed for debut in the Ford Motor Company booth at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.  It was also driven by Aaron Vaccar, as one of SEMA's "30 under 30," on the 2016 Hot Rod Power Tour with the SEMA Young Executives Network.  With only 7500 miles of road time clocked, the car is in pristine condition to be driven daily or collected as a show piece.

There is currently a limited time offer to purchase the Vaccar Edge Sport directly from Vaccar via an eBay listing, which you can visit by clicking HERE.

5 vehicles, 10 strangers, and 1000 miles of road tripping along the Hot Rod Magazine POWER TOUR; that's what myself and the rest of the SEMA Young Executives Network team faced this past June.

​If you'd like reach each of our reactions, from young automotive aftermarket professionals' viewpoint - or if you're just curious, here's a link from the official SEMA eNews;

Behind the Build: A Brushed, Matte-Metallic Edge

7/12/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
If you've followed any number of Vaccar builds, then you've likely seen that we enjoy trying out new paint  colors, finishes, and textures.  It's not uncommon for people to 'touch and feel' our project vehicles at events, because they can't believe it's actually paint.  In fact, we take it as a compliment when we overhear a person utter "it's vinyl" to their friends, as they rub their hands over the hood or trunk - only to be shocked when we chime in to say, "nope it's BASF sprayed by Canfield Collision!"
Picture
Who's Canfield Collision?  Short for Canfield Collision & Custom, they're the company who has painted each and everyone of our Vaccar-managed project vehicles.  In the small town of Canfield, OH this small team creates big colors that produce even bigger reactions!  Vaccar works hand-in-hand, coming up with wild ideas for possible finishes - but Canfield C&C is the team that figures out how to produce the actual chemical creation, and then lays it down. 
Using a variety of BASF products, Canfield C&C has helped Vaccar showcase finishes such as unique matte-metallics, new flat colors, brushed metal-looks and more.

Most recently, they worked on our 2015 Ford Edge Sport for Ford Motor Company's booth at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.  For this car, we put a spin on one of our most popular looks - the brushed metal simulation (originally debuted on our 2010 Ford Fusion Sport at SEMA '09).  Typically, this is achieved with a glossy final coat, but Canfield C&C sprayed it for us in flat silver!  It pairs well with the rest of the car's matte finish, and both are really complimented by the glossy orange accents.  It's truly been a "touch and feel" type of paint for people that see it in person!

2015 Ford Edge Sport
by Vaccar


“From all aspects, we wanted to push our aftermarket ideas and designing to the 'edge' on this project. The platform demands respect today, but is outfitted and stylized for tomorrow.”

The Vaccar Edge Sport concept, and their “Super-SportsUV” ideology of tuning as they call it, is all about featured amenities, power for the road, and modern fashion packaging – a perfect blend of next-gen performance and taste, with the functionality of a capable crossover. Premier styling is boldly expressed with bespoke brushed finishes and flat metallic textures, and an aggressive wheel-tire fitment is precisely stanced via advance air suspension – complete with “floating” lightweight tank display. The twin-turbo'd power plant has also been supplemented with balanced upgrades to amplify inhaling and exhaling harmonies. This Edge Sport isn’t just 'up-to-date', it's cutting-Edge for the future!

#VaccarEdge: The Floating Air System

10/13/2015

0 Comments

 
Here's a sneak peak of the #VaccarEdge  rear cargo area.  With air suspension system "displays" becoming more common in the modern segment, we wanted to do something unique, but also maintain a simplistic design with a functional trunk.  Here, you'll see how our "floating" mounting setup is taking shape - not only will this bar hide any wiring and hoses, it also serves as a strut bar-type chassis brace.

*Interest in air ride for your ride?  Check out our Vaccar Mailorder webstore, or contact us today!
**All work done at Vaccar's Master Garage in Orlando, FL - and we'll do it for you too!

​We declare LOW for all! Specifically, we're looking for at least 5" inches of drop at the push of a button, plus 30-way adjustable dampening for spirited driving - it's exclusively with Air Lift Performance's latest gen. of modern suspension products. Our own Vaccar's Master Garage Orlando will be fabricating a bolt-on kit for the new Ford Edge Sport, in-house.

​Drop that rear! Here's our near-completed set up for the rear suspension of the ‪#‎VaccarEdge‬; Starting with Air Lift Performance double bellow air bags, we'll replace the factory coil springs. Pair this with our new 30-way adjustable monotube shocks, and our Ford will have max handling and comfort.
