The 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show doesn’t kick off until tomorrow, but already Ford’s unveiled the tasty hunk of conceptual automotive design it teased us with a number of weeks back. It’s called the Evos, it’s loaded with technology and, while it doesn’t look very like any of the present autosyou’ll find down on the local Blue Oval dealer, it’s actually said to be the precursor of a brand new model that’s coming in exactly four months time. Join us after the break for more details.
The Evos is asserted to be a “cloud-connected” car, learning your preferences and connecting to those great internets to tug down details like traffic, road issues and sights. That’s all standard stuff, but it’ll also determine your driving ability plus driving intents and tailor the suspension and driving modes appropriately.
It is a plug-in hybrid, so it would run as an entire electric for no less than portion of its 500 mile total range. And, due to that connected nature we just mentioned, it’ll even take a look at the layout of the roads ahead and turn between EV and normal modes appropriately. Finally, it should detect the center rate of the motive force, who’s situated in a red leather throne Ford calls “the recent seat.” That’s only one of 4 seats, exposed by four gull-wing doors.
Again, the Evos is simply the primary of many concept cars to be unveiled today in an effort to surely never see production, but again Ford is promising we’ll see a number of this technology in a brand new model that’s just months far from being revealed. Color us intrigued.
