The Synergy 2010 was Ford's idea in 1996. As such, it featured two power sources — a 1.0-liter direct-injection extremely lightweight materials (it weighed just one tonne (ton)), "air fences," which dictated the car's advanced, aerodynamic styling, and computer-animated instruments. You could even call up the phone book by issuing a simple verbal command!
In 1996, Ford offered its thoughts on the family car of the year 2010. The federal government got the Big Three together under the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles banner, and part of Ford's contribution was a lightweight and aerodynamic concept vehicle designed to get 80 mpg from its 1-liter diesel-electric hybrid powertrain.
