I really believe Ford's lineup is ready for several more coupes. The
cleverly designed RWD Mustang shouldn't be the only one. This Futura
pillarless hardtop coupe would be the halo car for the next Fusion
lineup. I've used a modified Fusion front clip and added it to a very
svelte coupe body modified from a Renault concept of a few years ago.
Smoothing it all out, I'd like to see Ford's current Kinetic Design
begin to morph into the look here. I like their strong front ends but I
think many of the angles and creases can become more sophisticated with
more tightly controlled surfaces. The right stance is everything and I'd
widen all of them. The grille I've designed places the enlarged Ford
Blue Oval in the center of a simplified grille insert, with the specific
model badging in a nicely sculpted 3D effect nested on the top grille
bar. This front end 1-2-punch of model name and marque ID could be
spread throughout the line. It also lowers the visual center of gravity
from the top of the hood to the grille, which combined with the wider
track and more fully filled wheelhouses, really gives this platform and
body a ground hugging stance.
