Car & Driver used these renders from Avarvarii. Obviously not the real thing, but honestly looks like a decent composition of what we do know.

Like Father Mulcahy, l love a little jocularity. It’s a good thing and makes a forum more fun.

The second one reminds me of a minivan with stow and go seating. Wonder how floor storage works on an EV when the battery is in the floor?

Floor storage was a thing for a long time on RAM trucks, not sure if it still is. Every time I see new and/or weird patent applications, I think about what a buddy said once. He did R&D and product development for a large (for the industry) paintball company. There were tons of patents they'd file knowing fully they were never going to produce the item, or not any time soon. Sometimes they were patenting it for future use. More often it was so a competitor couldn't snag the idea and build it without coming up with the full idea themselves. Rarely, it was so that NOBODY could make it because it was dangerous or stupid. On top of all those things, there were a few things he came up with that he patented with an open-source license because they were important safety improvements, and he wanted everyone in the industry to be able to use them free of license fees.

Obviously the more "idea" based ones you can't look at the design too much (like the Explorer one or this Mustang one), but still interesting to see a potential direction or hint for various future products.

This is fun. That mustang sport sedan, but with a frunk is really interesting. I'm guessing that's something they'd use for the CE1 hatch/sedan if it comes to market. -

Looks like a 2012 Fusion with a 2013 Mustang front end on it. That is pretty curious -
A patent search in the other thread led me down a bit of a rabbit hole, and I've now been looking at patents that Ford has recently been awarded that may hint at future products..... This first one is a take on the "giga" setup used by CE1......except it's showing an Explorer body (it looks like the 2011-2019 model), but leads me to believe that they're working on applying that approach to additional models: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-12673732-B2?source=USPAT&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJiNDAxNGNhYS1lNTM4LTQ5YzctYmVhMC1jZDc1MWI2ZjNmMjMiLCJ2ZXIiOiIxOGZmMzhjMy05NGM5LTQzZTctYmYyZS1jYjJmMzFkYWNjZTgiLCJleHAiOjB9 https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-12668192-B2?source=USPAT&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJiNDAxNGNhYS1lNTM4LTQ5YzctYmVhMC1jZDc1MWI2ZjNmMjMiLCJ2ZXIiOiIxOGZmMzhjMy05NGM5LTQzZTctYmYyZS1jYjJmMzFkYWNjZTgiLCJleHAiOjB9 This one might hint at a new F-150 interior with rear floor storage: I wouldn't have thought much of this one beyond it being a new grille insert for Lighting, however, with Lightning discontinued, who knows........granted, it was applied for in February of 2025 https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-D1131316-S?source=USPAT&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJiNDAxNGNhYS1lNTM4LTQ5YzctYmVhMC1jZDc1MWI2ZjNmMjMiLCJ2ZXIiOiIxOGZmMzhjMy05NGM5LTQzZTctYmYyZS1jYjJmMzFkYWNjZTgiLCJleHAiOjB9 Haha, look at this frunk-related patent.....with the front of a older mustang on a sedan body: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-20260159000-A1?source=US-PGPUB&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJiNDAxNGNhYS1lNTM4LTQ5YzctYmVhMC1jZDc1MWI2ZjNmMjMiLCJ2ZXIiOiIxOGZmMzhjMy05NGM5LTQzZTctYmYyZS1jYjJmMzFkYWNjZTgiLCJleHAiOjB9

I was going to say it looked like a bike holder, and indeed it is: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-20260109301-A1?source=US-PGPUB&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJiNDAxNGNhYS1lNTM4LTQ5YzctYmVhMC1jZDc1MWI2ZjNmMjMiLCJ2ZXIiOiIxOGZmMzhjMy05NGM5LTQzZTctYmYyZS1jYjJmMzFkYWNjZTgiLCJleHAiOjB9
