Ford Verve concept

Clad in a plum red coating, Ford has revealed the Verve concept, to be shown at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. The latest in a line of 'Kinetic Design' concepts, the Verve hints at the new design direction for future Ford compact cars, with the Fiesta the most likely to be the first recipient of this design direction.

Compared to other recent Ford show cars, the Verve has rounder volumes and more organic surfaces, but continues to display a solid, dynamic form anchored by the rich wheelarch forms and a strongly raked DLO. Long, feline-like headlamps and a large, inverted trapezoidal lower grille - missing the two small triangular intakes from the other previous Ford concepts - with an almost non-existent upper grille, is somewhat similar to recent Peugeot and Hyundai models.

The interior features numerous 'touch-pad' like buttons inspired by the latest mobile phones. Its mixture of latest technology and aesthetics give a stylish yet user-friendly interior.
