The Blue Oval company is currently rocking an EV wave, although it's nothing tangible just yet. But it's all about the crossovers and trucks, of course, as always.
Recently, Ford introduced the 2024 Mustang GT and Dark Horse to Europe, but the news isn't all that great because the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 has detuned specifications to meet regulations. Additionally, all over the continent and in the UK, too, it costs an arm and a leg – or at least significantly more than its US counterparts.
Meanwhile, at home, the company brought to life the redesigned 2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator mid-size crossover SUVs, which are set to join the likes of the refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 as soon as possible. Fans of CUVs are also eagerly awaiting the promised arrival of additional Bronco Sport variants, as the model is set to remain alone if the Escape is indeed retired from the market.
How about what comes next? Well, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators always has a lot of ideas available. For example, many would love to see Ford backtrack on the decision to stop selling passenger cars in the United States and bring back a sedan or two alongside the Mustangs. Others think that even more crossovers and SUVs are needed to increase sales – and they're not fearful of the novel EV lifestyle, either. More precisely, everyone and their mother has heard about CEO Jim Farley's reveal that a new team is working on the development of an affordable EV platform – but some also think that the existing models could be put to better use, recouping their development costs.
More precisely, Henry Andrus, a virtual artist better known as photo.chopshop on social media, has a prolific imagination when it comes to crazy automotive mash-up ideas. He plays with just about anything, from 2024 Nissan Zs transformed into 300ZX ancestors to convertible Hyundai Tucson Lamborghinis and from Mercedes Corvettes to BMW Cutlass 442s. As you can see, he's into quirky stuff, indeed.
However, just recently, he kept everything simple and used the latest CGI mash-up models from a single brand – Ford. Because the focus is now on the Tesla's Cybertruck, it's easy to forget that Ford did count on the F-150 Lightning as America's most popular EV pickup truck in 2023. That's probably going to change in 2024 if Tesla makes enough Cybertrucks, so perhaps Ford could think about giving the Lightning treatment to other models in the meantime.
This pixel master even suggests resurrecting the Ford Flex full-size boxy crossover SUV/MPV and giving it F-150 Lightning credentials. The styling could use a CGI retouch or two as the author doesn't care too much about visual accuracy, but, nevertheless, this Flex Lightning feels spot-on for a potential new EV from Ford. It wouldn't clash with the stylish Tesla Model X, but instead, it would represent a veritable alternative to the Rivian R1S off-road EV SUV. Do you agree?
