With design cues borrowed from the legendary ‘55-’57 and ‘61-’62 models, the Ford Thunderbird concept is a modern interpretation of an automotive legend — with a simply thunderous result!

Combining stylistic elements of the current Formula 1 Silver Arrow and the SLR sports car from the 1950s, Mercedes created the Vision SLR — but with its 557 horsepower, it would more than likely be a blur than a vision!
