Ford Granada Altair

The Ford Granada Altair by Ghia

Vehicle Overview

The Ford Granada Altair prototype was built on a regualar Ford Granada chassis extended by two inches in length, three inches in height, and four inches in width. The Altair developed by Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin, Italy, was a four-door future family car capable of seating five people. Unveiled at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the car’s sharp front end and smooth lines aided the low drag coefficient of 0.35. The four headlights and two auxiliary lights were placed behind a transparent bronze-tinted plastic shield. The bronze-tinted plexiglass line running the length of the car provided increased visibility and was used to recess the door handles and air extraction vents for air conditioning. Impact-absorbent bumpers were used front and rear. The mirrors and single windshield wiper were controlled electrically. It was powered by the Ford Granada’s 2.8-liter fuel-injected V6 engine. It also featured independent front and rear suspension, low-profile tires, and a stereo sound system.
