Ford showed off their new “Reflex” concept car at the North American auto show last week. The car represents what is surely to come in the world of hybrid vehicles. Reflex is features a bio-diesel and electric engine (1.4-liter Duratorq TDCi with hybrid-electric motor assist) delivering up to 65 miles per gallon. It puts out 155 horsepower and 129 ft.lbs. of torque. The glass roof is actually comprised of solar panels which recharge the lithium-ion battery pack. Similar solar panels exist in the headlights. The interior is made from synthetic and regenerated materials, such as Nike Grind – yes, ground up tennis shoe rubber material used for sound NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) control.
Beyond all the eco stuff, this thing looks pretty amazing. Hopefully it will make it to production so someone can buy it and drop a stroked and supercharged Windsor into it. More pictures after the jump.
