Ford Lynx

Vehicle Overview

The Ford Lynx is a one-off concept designed by Gary Braddock and built by Ghia. Introduced at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show, it was as an exercise in designing a sports car based on the contemporary Ford Fiesta chassis, and some design elements later appeared on the production Ford Puma. The Ford Lynx wasn’t fitted with a drivetrain, the doors do not open, and the car is being sold as a rolling display vehicle. The fiberglass body built by Ghia, rides on a stretched Fiesta chassis and is finished in Euro Blue Metallic. Two arches run from the front cowl to the trunk, outlining the top of the window frames and doubling as a track for a folding roof, although neither side windows nor a roof are actually fitted to the car. The interior features seating for four trimmed in gray fabric with patterned inserts, though the seats are not accessible via doors. A period Ford steering wheel fronts static metric instrumentation. Other equipment includes a center stack and a shifter for a manual transmission. As mentioned befotre, on the Ford Lynx no engine or transmission is equipped, although the car is wired for lights and includes a power setup for display purposes.
