For two decades, the iconic Ford Crown Victoria was
one of the most recognizable cars in America, thanks primarily to its
proliferation in police departments and use among taxi services. The car was
retired and effectively replaced by the Taurus.
While it’s unlikely that the car will ever be
revived, artist Karan Adivi has created a modern-day interpretation of the
Crown Victoria which could see it morph into a super sleek and aggressive
four-door sports car.
Adivi first dreamed up his Crown Victoria Concept in
2016 and has only now been able to imagine the car in 3D. The car shows no
commonalities with the Crown Victoria but considering the Crown Vic’s
lackluster and outdated design, that’s no bad thing.
The front of the Crown Victoria Concept includes an
aggressive front fascia with C-shaped headlights, a bold and aggressive split
front grille, and an aggressive hood. As impressive as the front of the car is,
it’s perhaps the sides which are the most remarkable thanks to huge wheels,
thin wing mirrors, and tapered side windows.
When designing the rear of the Crown Victoria
Concept, Adivi took inspiration from the 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Consequently, the car features an angled fascia with a small trunklid lip
spoiler. There’s also a bold diffuser to help suck the car onto the pavement. The world could be a much better
place if Ford built a four-door sedan like this. Unfortunately, the company’s
focus on SUVs and crossovers means it won’t happen
