Ford Vivace

The Ford Vivace concept car by Ghia.

Vehicle Overview

The Ford Vivace concept car, created by Ghia in 1996, represents a forward-thinking exploration of automotive design, blending innovation with practicality. Built on the Ford Mondeo platform and featuring a 2.5-liter engine, the Vivace was conceived as a platform concept car that sought to showcase the potential of aluminum space frame construction while maintaining a focus on design and packaging. The concept was part of Ghia’s continuous efforts to explore new materials and construction techniques that would adapt to the changing landscape of the automotive industry. The design of the Ford Vivace is striking and bold, with a 2+2 coupe layout that exudes dynamic energy. Its rounded, tightly wrapped, high-haunched appearance gives it an intense emotional appeal, communicating both movement and assertiveness. The concept car’s exterior features clean lines, smooth surfaces, and a sculptural quality that makes it appear as though it is in constant motion, even when standing still. This emphasis on sleekness and fluidity in design was meant to reflect the vehicle’s purpose as a high-performance, visually engaging automobile. Although the Vivace was a non-functional prototype, its construction focused on lightweight materials and modern techniques. The car was built using fiberglass, and although it did not include an interior, its exterior was carefully sculpted to demonstrate the potential for future production vehicles. The doors and windows were fixed, further highlighting the Vivace’s role as a design study rather than a fully functional vehicle. This focus on form over function allowed the car to explore innovative concepts without the limitations imposed by traditional vehicle requirements. The Ford Vivace concept car is a symbol of Ghia’s creative vision and its ability to push the boundaries of automotive design. Although it was never intended for production, the Vivace’s striking appearance and exploration of new materials left a lasting impact on the automotive design world, reflecting the industry’s evolving interest in futuristic aesthetics and new construction techniques.
