Ford Iosis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ford Iosis is a four-door, four-seat sedan concept car developed by Ford of Europe. It first saw publicity at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show. Along with the Ford SAV (shown earlier that year at the Geneva Auto Show), it was designed to showcase the dynamic new design direction Ford intends to pursue for the European market.[1]
The shape of the concept car has been said to resemble an Aston Martin, featuring clean angles, a sharply sloped windscreen and large wheels.
By creating the Iosis, Ford is displaying the styling concept of an aggressive stance put forth in the SAV on a completely different platform. Using carbon fiber gullwing doors and rear facing cameras instead of conventional door mirrors, it is definitely a show car. Ford stated that it is merely pointing in the direction of what the next Mondeo will aim for stylistically, and it is not intended for production as-is.[2]
