Ford Arioso

Ford Arioso - https://www.carstyling.ru/

The Ford Arioso was a concept car designed by Ghia in 1994 for Ford.

The Arioso was a design study for a 4-seat sports coupe based on the versatile Ford Mondeo, fitted with a 2.6 litre 24-valve V6 engine to create a roomy, flexible and attractive vehicle. With the Arioso, Ghia proposed making its aluminum space frame part of the design, taking a structural part of the chassis and using it, unadorned, as a design element.

Like many concept cars of the day, Arioso was designed for construction from modular lightweight carbon fibre body panels that could easily be replaced should repair be necessary, mounting directly to the aluminum space frame. This also allowed the designers to create different shapes, that would not be as easily achieved if using aluminum or steel for the body. The Arioso was fitted with a retractable sunroof and rear window assembly. Mounted in tracks integral with the curved roof, the rear window and sunroof panels would retract into a compartment behind the rear seats. I

It's body design is clear, with the first thing you notice being the aggressive nose with a split wide oval air intake and ovoid transparent covers, over projector-style head and marker lights. The tail lights are vivid red slashes high on the edges of the rear deck, with angle cut dual exhaust pipes projecting through the bodywork. The body is tightly wrapped over the space frame structure.
