Ford Evos Concept Previews Styling Direction

[Troutman]

Ford has unveiled a stunning fastback, coupe-like concept car with four "gullwing" doors ahead of the upcoming Frankfurt motor show.

The concept, which looks like a miniature version of the Aston Martin Rapide, adds to speculation that the Blue Oval will release an image-building niche vehicle based on the Focus platform.

The company is describing the Evos Concept as a pointer to its new global design language, but it also appears to hint at a future production model.

The company's head of global product development Derrick Kuzak hosed down speculation the car would see production, describing it as merely a showcase of future design and technology.

"While you will never see this car on the road, the next generation of Ford products around the world will display many of the distinctive design ideas and advanced technologies it showcases."

front end looks good, not too sure bout the back tho

I know car companies make concepts all the time when they have 0% interest in making a production model but im still excited about the idea of a falcon coupe.

I bet there would be good interest in an FPV Coupe. I dont think they should go down the path of reviving a classic like the XC coupe or Phase 3 GTHO as holden and toyota have with their classics. Both are epic fails in my mind.

Still reckon this would be an epic win if it ever saw the markets:

The Drive article doesn't make it very clear but the Evos is a European car, German designed and Italian built. However, there is a certain resemblance to Ford Australia's Mad Max concepts.

That car looks good but I wouldn't expect any Falcon spin-offs given the uninspiring sales of the standard model. Look at how well the VT-VZ Commodore sold and you'll see why there was money to do Monaro/AWD/Adventra/Crewman/whatever variants. I'm pretty sure those days are gone.

That coupe gives me hope that ford do still know how to design a tough looking car. Too bad they havnt put it to action yet...

I don't know why....but I want that coupe....it just looks tough. Would be good with V8, 6 speed and a tight LSD.

an inline 6 4L turbo coupe 4wd that weighs 1400kg? .... now im asking for too much.

Love the front end of that EvoS. The back looks a little to Civic like for me, but that red drivers seat is a cool novelty. Not so sure I'd want it in a daily, but man is it a cool novelty.
