The Orange County Register has an interesting look at the development of the Ford Reflex Concept, which took just 11 months. In February, 2005, Ford set out to build an environmentally-friendly sports car to take on trendy compacts like the Mini Cooper. In March, lead designer Tyler Blake shades in exterior details that expose the car’s internal mechanics (i.e. exposed electronics via rear window). In June, Freeman Thomas – designer of the new VW Beetle, the Audi TT and the Chrysler 300 – assumes the team leadership after leaving Daimler- Chrysler . In August, the Reflex is ready to build. In November, the car slowly takes shape in a shop. By January, the car is done and on display at the Detroit auto show. Find the full article here (registration required).
