The Ford Iosis concept car from the 2005 Frankfurt Auto
Show ws the preview replacement model for the existing
Ford Mondeo. The Iosis takes Fords design language in
a completely different direction, with an all new design
philosophy.
The design itself drew on inspiration from both Jaguar
and Lexus, although a bit of Mazda RX8 sneaks into the
front arches.
The Iosis incorporates quadruple gull wing style doors
which fan out either side of the car. The Iosis' bonnet
complies with the latest pedestrian safety laws, and as
such sit higher than the Mondeo's allowing a cushioning
zone between the flexible bonnet and hard unforgiving
engine.
Ford had toyed with the idea of a pop-up bonnet but the
technology was too expensive for such a model.
The interior of the Iosis is advanced and stylish, orange
accents highlight the seats, steering
wheel and center console. The console also features
a system similar to BMW's iDrive, a possible indication
of Ford's intentions.
