底特律車展10大驚喜
福特Atlas概念車 ??? 專門用來在電視上播放的亮相大片已經過時了(謝天謝地),但福特公司(Ford)卻重新撿起了這種形式,同時進行了大幅改造。隨著一支現場吉他樂隊彈響伴奏,在一個模擬辦公樓骨架的鋼制格架中,六位電焊工揮舞著火花四射的火把從天花板上徐徐降下。他們剛落到地面,Atlas就從舞臺天花板的另一處從天而降。作為2015款F-150的概念車,Atlas憑借輕量車身和省油特性廣受好評,并對通用汽車(General Motors)即將推出的2014款皮卡構成直接挑戰。如果這款皮卡在展廳地板上無法大顯身手,那福特也總有辦法開辦自己硬漢級的太陽馬戲團(Cirque de Soleil)供它馳騁。 |
2. Ford Atlas concept ??? Made-for-TV spectacular reveals have (mercifully) fallen out of fashion, but Ford (F, Fortune 500) revisited old ways and made some dramatic updates. As a live guitar band blasted out a musical accompaniment, six welders brandishing what appeared to be live, spark-spewing torches were lowered from the ceiling in a steel-look grid resembling the skeleton of an office building. Once they reached the ground, the Atlas itself dropped out of the sky from a different spot on the arena ceiling. With its lightweight construction and fuel-saving features, the Atlas, a concept for the 2015 F-150, was well-reviewed and challenged General Motors' (GM, Fortune 500)coming 2014 trucks. And if the pickups don't work on the showroom floor, Ford can always open its own he-man production of Cirque de Soleil. |
