Ford SYNUS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SYNus is a concept car produced by Ford Motor Company under the Ford brand and created by the Spanish designer Jose Paris [1] (exterior design) and Joe Baker (interior).
The SYNus shares its powertrain design with the Ford Mondeo. The engine is a diesel powered, 16 valve, turbocharged, 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder Duratorq TDCi Diesel engine that produces 134 horsepower (100 kW). The SYNus has a five-speed manual transmission. Its wheels are 18 inches (457 mm) in diameter. It has an IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless LAN hub. The SYNus debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show.
The SYNus was designed to maximize safety, and derives its aesthetic from modern bank vaults. The car's windows and frame are bullet-resistant. It has no rear window, and instead displays a video feed on a large LCD monitor installed in the back of the car's interior. Also, when in "lockdown mode" steel shutters close around the front windshield.
