Ford Motor Co. gave the first hint of its future small-car design vision in the new Ford Verve concept, photos of which were released Thursday.
The bullet-shape concept is bold, sporty and in a design style that Ford calls kinetic, for the visual effect that makes the vehicle look like it's in motion even when standing still.
Martin Smith, executive director of design for Ford of Europe, which is leading Ford's small-car development for major world markets, called the style "bold, even radical."
The Verve, which will debut next month at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, is the first of three subcompact concept vehicles that will debut in the key regions of Europe, Asia and North America.....
