Team Penske's Josef Newgarden, the 2017 Veroizon IndyCar champion, showed off his sleek new racer yesterday at the Detroit Auto Show.
The 27-year-old recently tested the new car which has kept its Dallara foundation but received a whole new aerodynamic kit which, as Newgarden says, looks "awesome".
"I mean, this is what an IndyCar should look like, so I think everyone’s pretty thrilled about that," said the American who many - except perhaps for Haas' Guenther Steiner - would like to see one day in Formula 1.
"Looks were not the first priority — actually the performance was, but looks were secondary, and we wanted it to look good and I think they really achieved both objectives."
The 2018 IndyCar season gets underway on March 11 on the streets of St. Petersburg in Florida.
