Ford Verve Concept

Debut at Frankfurt

But while certain design elements are likely to be ditched for production, this is the biggest clue yet as to the Fiesta's new look, while the concept hints too at the next-generation Ka. The design very much embodies 'kinetic design', its front being dominated by a gaping lower grille and sweeping headlights. A poised stance, sweeping side profile and subtly-designed additions at the rear including styled exhausts and lip spoiler contribute to the concept car's sporting intentions but are all likely to be shown the door for standard production variants. Beltline rear lights are however almost certain for the new Fiesta in favour of the previous-generation's pillar-mounted tail-lamps.
