As was said before, the new car is called "COT" or Car of Tomorrow which allows the same car to be run at all the tracks versus building specialized cars to fit certain tracks. It is also larger than the car it replaces, moving the driver more towards the center, providing better safety. The spoiler on the trunk lid is adjustable for the various tracks, as is "the splitter", the front end bottom flat piece that is located just above the track surface. The intent on this car was to provide better safety for the driver and to lower costs on the car.
