Ford Evos Concept

What was the Ford Capri, but horny for a car! First presented in 1969 at the Auto Show in Brussels, should the success of the Ford Coupe 1964 Ford published repeat Mustang. To date, Ford waits for a community similar to typical athlete.

With the Ford Evo’s Concept Car, which Ford will introduce in mid-September at the IAA, which nourish the hopes Cologne sport-oriented drivers with a penchant for dynamic Fastbacks.

The coupe concept, which Ford wants to be understood as a fastback sedan shows the evolution of “kinetic design form language” as a global ‘One Ford’ product strategy, which we already see in the Ford Vertrek concept that as the beginning of the year already could. Ford already indicated thus that indicate what we expect in the next year with the new Ford Mondeo.

The vehicle recognizes its user and adjusts automatically to their preferences – from the chassis and handling the steering response to the performance characteristics of the engine.

Exciting, because the current state of development, the suspension tuning of a car always correspond to the ideas and desires of a broad set of customers as well as a variety of different road conditions and traffic requirements. It is like the Evo’s Concept his knowledge of the habits and the performance of the driver with cloud information for example on the quality of roads and weather conditions as to tune the settings of the power transmission, steering, suspension and braking system accordingly.
Donates the new Mondeo, the technology for a new Capri?

One question remains: the Evo’s Ford Concept Car as a preview of mid-size sedan and sports? How realistic is it? At least he applies internally as a flagship project with an announcement effect for all series. And also the technique of the original Capri was from the brave family vehicle Taunus …
