A daring redefinition of the fastback form perched on a widened athletic stance, it features four gull-wing doors that lift open vertically in striking fashion to allow four enviable occupants to slip into the cockpit. The thinly curled lip of the cowl reveals a refined grille that sleekly gives way to the clean, taut hood and low-slung roofline, which tapers into a teardrop on the fastback.
As a concept car, Evos builds upon the One Ford strategy to establish a common, instantly recognizable brand DNA that expresses itself in each next-gen car—from the United States to Europe and beyond.
More than 1,100 Ford employees at eight different design studios around the world will rely on Evos to guide them as they craft the company’s next generation of cars. When engineers and consumers look at Evos, they can see the perfect embodiment of six telltale qualities: silhouette innovation, perceived efficiency, refined surface language, technical graphics, premium look and, most strikingly, the new face of Ford.
