Here is the 1996 Ford Alpe, designed and built by Ghia. Ghia cemented its reputation as Ford’s think-tank with two concept cars launched at the 1996 Turin Motor Show. One clear signal was that the forthcoming Ford Ka would look: the radical Saetta’s front end was shared with the Ka. In other respects, it was wildly different. Ford’s prevailing edge-design mentality is being taken to the limit, dominated by a central roof rib, its geometric shapes, especially the rear lights. The oilier Turin debutant was the Alpe sports-utility, based on the Escort, with chunky, solid styling and a hint of off-road ability.
