Many have chosen to speculate that the introduction of a gullwing coupe means that Ford is planning to resurrect the Capri. We could add that this move would make sense, with the car going head to head with Opel's future Calibra revival.
However, no official information about such a development has been released so far, which means that the only certainty is that its design elements, which mark a new era for the Blue Oval's Kinetic Design language,introducing its "2.0" version, will make into future Ford models.
Actually, Ford emphasized that it used a coupe shape in order to leave out speculation that this could preview any future generation of any of its models, as the carmaker doesn't have a coupe in its range.
Here's how the company describes its creation: "With the length of a typical C-car, but with width of a CD-car, the Ford Evos Concept has a powerful, sporting stance. The forward position of the cowl, the strongly rounded front screen and the A-pillars set further to the rear enabled the designers to create the impression of a classic GT car, but with a very contemporary feel."
The Evos Concept, which uses four gullwing doors, is 4.50m (177in) long, 1.97m (77in) wide and 1.36m (53in) high, having a wheelbase of 2.74m (108in).
The company also claims that certain elements of the interior, such as the digital dashboard, will also be used in future production models. As for what's under the skin, the details are scarce, but we do know that an evolution of the plug-in hybrid powertain that will be offered by the upcoming C-Max Energy sends the power to the front axle.
