The Scion Fuse is a concept car created under one of Toyota's brands, Scion. The Fuse was built by Five Axis Models in Huntington Beach, CA with assistance from MillenWorks.[1] It was first introduced at the 2006 New York International Auto Show. According to Scion,[citation needed] the Fuse is a 2-door coupe with 4 seats and scissor doors.[2]
The Fuse uses a DOHC gasoline I4 engine equipped with multi-port fuel-injection and VVT-i. The engine's compression ratio is 9.6:1, and is rated at 160 hp (119 kW) and 163 lb⋅ft (221 N⋅m) of torque.
The Fuse includes features such as steer by wire, a retractable spoiler, a power operated hatch that slides upwards along with a flip out bench for tailgating, a beverage cooler, a built in Wi-Fi connection, LED lighting in multiple places including the seat piping and wheels, programmable multi color headlights, a passenger seat that folds into a footrest or table, and more.[3][4]
