Or you just waste money getting people excited about a car that can’t possibly be built. Like the Interceptor or 427.
It’s good to get people excited about possibilities I think.
I love those concept cars. Yes it would be nice if they were built but a concept car is meant to show you what we can do in concept. Get people excited, and invested into what you can offer coming into the future even if it’s just an idea or a theme.

It looks good from that angle, but the profile seems a bit weird.
Speaking of the probe, I read somewhere that the next gen probe actually turned into the cougar to get younger buyers to mercury. I remember liking the probe gt in high school and the new cougar. Heres the mc2 concept for that cougar.
This 1963 cougar II concept was pretty cool too
My first car was a 1993 Ford probe gt. I loved that thing. Fun to drive, handles great, felt like Japanese vehicle actually in terms of steering feel, handling, power train, etc. The probe shared a lot with the Mazda MX 6. Anyway, I ran over a curb at high speed and effed my probe. Sold it, bought a white 1994 probe GT. Both of these were manual. Great cars, can have a lot of maintenance but not terrible, and lots of spaces to lay with the seats flat and the hatch open at a drive in.

When I become a car designer, I am going to push for funding of real concept cars for auto shows. Only design for what can go into production stifles the ability to design with innovation in mind. It doesn’t negate it completely but when you can design with little to no limitations, innovation happens and can pulled down into production vehicles.

One of the big advantages Tesla has is the supercharger network. I wish ford would team with others and develop a competing game network.
Competing is the problem and what’s stalling growth. These charging networks and stations should work universally as does gas stations. They need to work together to build a charging network to support real growth in electric vehicle ownership.

The bolt is a good car with good range, but its boring to look at and its a chevy. Its not the status symbol that a Tesla is, and it doesnt sell anywhere close to Tesla. Ford better get this right or the Mach 1 will be the Microsoft zune compared to Tesla as the iPod. It sounds like they are going the opposite path of the bolt which is A good thing
And adding the Mustang logo to the car fixes the issue the bolt has with “being a Chevy.” From a marketing stand point, it benefits Ford to attach the Mach1 in name and logo to something with a broad and greater heritage and appeal.

Personally, I doubt you will touch it for $40k. I would say $60k+...
For a base price? Maybe... But it all depends on who they are trying to reach, and the content.

I like the Mach 1 name for this! I hope they keeped it despite public response. If it's as good as it can be, I don't think the public will take issue with the name.

Added a little light

It looks awesome, so much to be proud of here. Worth the wait to get it awesome.
Anything more you can tell us about it? About the exterior/interior design? I'm going into auto design so that peaks my interest the most.
From people that's seen it, they all say it looks amazing. I wish ownership in Ford stock came with sneak peaks! I'd be a happy investor.
This will be performance oriented? and a 2020 model along with the Explorer and Escape? So we'll be seeing it fairly soon?
I'm wondering if Ford will offer "Tesla-like" self-driving capabilities. That's a huge selling point for me when I think of owning this type of vehicle.
$40k+ I'm expecting

BTW, this is the Mach1.
oh wow. yeah im excited now!

These people dont know what theyre talking about.MKT is well liked by limousine operators. Don't know how profitable the model is for Ford though.
A bigger question is whether the Lincoln brand itself will linger on with no set end date. Car and Driver says that Lincoln is the "most obvious candidate" for what Ford might cancel next. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/ford-cars-v8-engine-dead
They said Lincoln has only a single model thats not a guissed up Ford. Thats throwing dirt. Lincoln vehicles are unique in their own right. So what they share a platform, sometimes base powertrain, and important technology with some ford models. Yeah they have room for improvement in carving their own lane again but lets give credit when credit is due. This isnt a 1st gen MKZ/Fusion, Lincoln Mark LT/F150 situation happening at Lincoln. Theyve grown past that.

Maybe the Bullitt to tide things over?
That's what i was hoping to see at the LA show. I'm ready to trade my 01' Bullitt in for it! At least if it doesn't cost $50k or something crazy.

Good morning everyone!
My name is Drew... I'm currently serving in the armed forces. I have been lurking on the site for awhile without an active account, that is until now so hello!
I need some advice, opinion, inside info, whatever you may have to offer.
My enlistment is ending fairly soon and I'm finishing up my BAS in Organizational Leadership BUT I plan on attending College for Creative Studies in Detroit to obtain another degree in Transportation Design. I also would like to enroll in the Professional Automotive Modeling Certificate Program during my tenure at CCS, with hopes that maybe I'll find a career in Clay Modeling.
However I am concerned about not having a stable career in the automotive world. I do not know anyone who works in that field outside of factory workers so I have no idea what to expect.
Are there any CCS grads here? Any of you work in or near the field of transportation design?
Where do you see automotive design and clay modeling moving in the near future? Is a career in that industry volatile? How's the job market, pay, work environment, etc?As I said before I know nothing about that world so any information would be useful. I appreciate your time!
