Ford
Hot Rod concept
The
Ford Hot Rod concept is a fantasy creation from designers Pawel Wisniewski and
Jans Shlapins. Wisniewski provided the initial sketches, while Shlapins turned
them into the eye-catching 3D renders you see here.
The
concept is pretty far out there. It looks like it was designed for combat
rather than cruising the strip. Tiny little windows provide the driver with a
slit-like view of the world, while the massive swathes of carbon fiber panels
look more like protective armour plating than bodywork.
The
wheels are, quite frankly, enormous. The rears must be at least 30-inches in
diameter, and like the rest of the car they make extensive use of carbon fiber.
The braking system of the Ford Hot Rod concept is particularly unusual. They
appear to feature calipers mounted inside the discs, which are themselves
mounted on hubless wheels. Not quite sure how it would all work in reality. But
then that’s not something anyone needs to worry about in a hurry.
The
proposed drivetrain for the Ford Hot Rod concept is a V8 engine connected to a
six-speed sequential transmission driving the rear wheels.
