“新甲壳虫之父”汽车设计杰作回顾

2013款福特Fusion

    Fusion大获成功来说，但它身上复古未来主义的一切痕迹却都消失殆尽了，这辆车流线型的外观出自英国设计师克里斯•汉密尔顿之手。尽管人们大都把注意力放在了似乎是模仿阿斯顿马丁（Aston Martin）的进气格栅上，实际上却是这款车的比例——那时髦的后掠式座舱，宽阔的车身——让它鹤立车群。梅斯对底特律《自由报》（Free Press）说：“路上平庸无奇的车太多了，它们看起来都一览无余、毫无特色。”

    “我交待团队的基本设计理念就是，搞出一辆回头率绝对超高的车。”在这个理念的指导下，这辆自1984年金牛（Taurus）以来最漂亮的福特轿车就横空出世了。（财富中文网）

2013 Ford Fusion

    All traces of retro-futurism are gone from the hugely successful Fusion, whose streamlined exterior was created by British designer Chris Hamilton. While most of the attention was focused on the grille, which appeared to be lifted from an Aston Martin, it's the proportions -- sleek, swept-back greenhouse, wide stance -- the make the car a standout. "There are so many mediocre cars on the road," Mays told the Detroit Free Press, "so transparent and vanilla looking."

    "My design brief to the team was to do an absolute drop-dead gorgeous head turner." It created the best looking Ford sedan since the 1984 Taurus.
