Ford Indigo concept (1996)
Concept car · 1996 · Combustion
An open-wheel IndyCar for the road with a Cosworth V12
Designed by Claude Lobo, the Indigo channeled IndyCar engineering into a road-going speedster. Its 6.0 L V12, built by Cosworth from doubled-up Duratec V6 architecture, made 435 hp and sat in a carbon-fiber monocoque developed with Reynard Motorsport. Only two were built, one of them functional; Ford declined to productionize it.
