FORD FOCUS VIGNALE CONCEPT
Sitting alongside the all-new Focus, the Focus Vignale Concept on display at the Shanghai International Motor Show is a one-off design study that explores the potential for future Focus
The Focus Vignale Concept takes its inspiration and name from the renowned Italian designer, Alfredo Vignale (1913 – 1969), who has an historical connection with Ford’s European design heritage.
His Carrozzeria Vignale company produced many stylish, coachbuilt sports cars during the 1950''s and 1960''s and joined Ford Motor Company’s De Tomaso Automobili in 1969.
Metamorphosis of Mood and Function
The Focus Vignale Concept is actually two cars in one – ideal for changing moods and environments.
Regardless of the weather, the Focus Vignale Concept conveys a strong emotional appeal that Ford designers believe will inspire longing and a touch of envy. As a stylish and sporty coupé that is just as appealing in autumn and winter months, the car brings elegance combined with rational attributes of luxury, comfort and safety.
Its profile is dynamic and distinctive, and promises the rewarding driving experience that comes as standard in all Ford cars.
Yet at the push of a button, the coupé transforms effortlessly into an open-top convertible. Its bootlid silently tilts open and its retractable hardtop folds backward to stow cleanly in the boot, morphing the vehicle to inspire carefree emotions of open-top, wind-in-the-hair motoring.
As the car assumes its open-top role, the quality of craftsmanship and premium materials is clearly evident, highlighted by well-executed design touches inspired by the heyday of the Italian sports car.
Just one of these design facets in the Focus Vignale Concept’s sweeping profile is the door handle. A modern execution of designs found in Alfredo Vignale''s spyders from the Sixties, it is elegantly sculpted in a lozenge shape of polished aluminium. Yet, unlike the Sixties original, a simple, intuitive finger push now activates the doorcatch electronically, allowing the door to be pulled open with style and attitude.
Finished in a subtly soft and light exterior colour, Amalfi, which evokes seaside freshness, the Focus Vignale Concept visually communicates sophistication and luxury.
The exterior is highlighted by the use of bright polished aluminium which evokes the chrome of past grand touring cars from Italy. A narrow, polished aluminium strip stretches horizontally along the length of the vehicle at its sills, emphasising the confidence of the vehicle’s stance, and it is mirrored by another horizontal strip at the lower edge of the side window graphic.
The Focus Vignale Concept’s glass panels are uniquely coloured in Acqua, a blue-green tint that adds an air of exclusivity to its personality and elegantly subdues hues inside the vehicle when it is in coupé mode. When the car transforms into a convertible, the resulting contrast when the sun streams onto the interior accentuates the concept vehicle’s dual personality.
A new look grille, finished distinctively in chrome, also evokes a feeling that the Focus Vignale Concept could be from an expensive premium brand. Its horizontal bars clearly differentiate the concept vehicle from the ne Lower aluminium touches continue at the front and rear of the vehicle, giving visual emphasis to front air ducts and rear exhaust outlets and adding a bold strip along the edge of the bootlid between the tail lamps.
Deep, passionately sculpted 20-inch wheels with wide, sweeping spokes provide an eye-pleasing combination of polished aluminium outer surfaces with machined aluminium on visible inner surfaces.
Inside the Ford Focus Vi In automotive design, in order to make it to the light, accurate and stable perfor- mance of the steering wheel on the design parameters of the special positioning, but in the process of the use of motor vehicles,trailers because,to the deformation and wear, it is easy to create these parameters positioning inaccurate,resulting in a moving car steering wheels rolling forward at the same time have a slip phenomenon, that is, the wheels spin. Wheel spin will cause rolling resistance increased,on the direction of stability deteriorate, tire wear intensified, running a heavy fuel consumption to increase, and such phenomena, the impact of the use of vehicle performance and economic performance, and likely to cau- setraffic accidents. In order to prevent excessive deformation positioning parameters, tr- affic safety protection, national standards require that the spin of the wheel should be less than or equal to 5 m / km. Therefore, regular car to spin round of testing, investigation and found problems in a timely fashion， the car's performance and economic performance is of great signifycance.

Subtle Acqua accents are also featured in the interior. Reminiscent of Italian sports cars’ seat stitching, the contrast of underlying Acqua filetto treatments of Amalfi Light leather seat surfaces are a modern interpretation that conveys luxury and attention to detail. The seat inserts feature horizontal ribbing, another retro feature made more delicate and sophisticated in its contemporary execution.
The upper instrument panel is finished in Black Abalone-coloured leather, while the lower is Amalfi Light suede. Metallic accents on the door panels and steering wheel spokes are another link to the exterior design.
Ford of Europe''s Design Group created a specoal team at its Dunton, England, design studio to create the Focus Vignale Concept. The team took advantage of powerful resources to design the concept vehicle entirely withen the digital environment, and record time.
福特福克斯 Vignale 概念车
在巴黎举行的车展上，福特全新的福克斯系列车型首次亮相，该系列中的福克斯Vignale 概念车是福特设计人员为探索福克斯系列车型今后的风格变化，在设计理念上的一次创新。
福特福克斯Vignale概念车的设计灵感和动听的车名来自著名的意大利设计师Alfredo Vignale (1913 – 1969), 他与福特悠久的欧洲设计理念有着深远的历史渊源。
这位设计师开办了一家名为Carrozzeria Vignale的公司，在上个世纪的五、六十年代，生产了很多时髦的运动型轿车，并于1969年与福特De Tomaso Automobili公司合并。能
福特福克斯Vignale 的设计理念，就是让驾驶者获得心情愉快、与众不同的驾驶体验
不论在任何季节，福特福克斯 Vignale概念车都能体现出很强的感染力，这点使福特的设计者们相信，这款车型一定会激起人们火样的热情和强烈的占有欲。这款双门轿车，设计新颖，运动时尚，即使在萧瑟的秋天或寒冷的冬日，也不会减弱它对爱车族们的强烈吸引力，华贵的车型给人们带来的是舒适、安全和享受。
这款车的外形极具动感，与众不同，秉承了福特汽车标准的特性--使驾驶者享受驾驭的乐趣。
你只要按一下按钮，这款双门轿车就会变成一辆顶部开启的敞篷车。此时，行李箱盖轻轻地打开，可折叠的车顶篷向后移动，整齐地叠放至行李箱内。驾驶的感觉也随着顶蓬的开启，随着风从发际间吹过而变得无拘无束。
车顶完全开启后，制造者高超的工艺，使用的优质材料，淋漓尽致地展现在人们面前，充分体现出意大利跑车鼎盛时期设计者们的艺术灵感。
车门手柄的设计仅是福克斯Vignale概念车整体设计的一个方面。它借鉴了Alfredo Vignale 先生于六十年代推出的Spyder汽车的设计，结合现代工艺，将铝制抛光手柄做成优美的菱形。但是，与六十年代的原始设计不同，新手柄配有一个简约、灵动的按钮，对门锁进行电子控制，人们因此可以优雅从容地开启车门。
此款车的外观采用柔和淡雅的阿玛菲色，富于海滨的清新格调，从视觉上向人们传达着文雅和华贵。
外观采用的是明亮的抛光铝饰品，令人想起过去意大利的铬合金豪华旅行车。此车的底框梁有一条很窄的抛光铝饰条沿汽车的长度水平延伸，张显着此车的自信，与此呼应的是边窗下面的另一条水平延伸的饰条。
福克斯Vignale概念车的玻璃采用独特的湖蓝颜色，蓝绿色调显示着它独特的魅力，也令双门小汽车内部的颜色变得高雅而柔和。一旦变成敞篷车，阳光照到内饰上产生强烈的对比，准确地表达出该款概念车的双重个性。
引人注目，新颖的镀铬格栅，体现着此车的设计理念，福特要将此款车型打造成高贵的极致品牌。它的水平栅格与其它新型福克斯系列有着明显的不同，预示着未来的设计方向。
铝饰条在车身前后持续延伸，使前进风管和后排气口显得非常突出，并使后备箱边沿和尾灯之间形成强烈的线条。
直径20-英寸的车轮，胎纹深厚，轮辐宽大，内外面均为铝制，外面为抛光铝漆面，十分抢眼。
在汽车设计时，为了使其具有转向轻便、准确和行使稳定的性能，在转向轮上设计有专项定位参数，但在汽车使用过程中，由于车架、转向机构的变形与磨损，很容易造成这些定位参数失准，导致汽车行驶时转向车轮向前滚动的同时产生滑移现象，即车轮侧滑。车轮侧滑会造成滚动阻力增加、行驶方向稳定性变差、轮胎磨损加剧、运行油耗增加以及转向沉重等现象，影响汽车的使用性能和经济性能，且容易造成行车事故。为了防止定位参数变形过量，保障车辆行驶安全，国家标准规定，车轮侧滑量应小于或等于5 m/ km。所以，定期对汽车转向轮侧滑量进行检测，发现问题及时排查，对汽车的使用性能和经济性能具有重要意义。
针对汽车侧滑试验台的应用工况，提出检测智能仪表应具备的功能和主要技术指标。设计了一种新型侧滑检测系统，并给出其工作原理、硬件构成设计方法。通过输入、输出电路和单片机构成的系统，把直线位移传感器输出的信号转化成对应的侧滑量，并具有显示和报警提示。测量系统也可通过串行口把测量的结果发送到上位机上。
该文介绍了采用计算机技术检测汽车前轮侧滑量的方法和工作原理，着重讨论了检测系统的硬件设计，这种设计较好地解决了动态检测过程中测量速度与测量精度之间的矛盾。本设计以MCS—51单片机为核心，配有少量外围电路，集自动检测、判别、报警及数显于一体，具有精度高、速度快、体积小、造价低、稳定可靠等特点。
福特福克斯 Vignale概念车型车的内饰品强调的是华贵，在其生产工艺中也同样如此。
柔和的湖蓝色调在内饰中也得到了应用。秉承意大利运动型车座椅的做工，经湖蓝鹅纹石处理的淡阿玛菲色真皮座椅是一种现代诠释，张显华贵，注重细节。座椅填料呈水平条纹状，这又是一种复古，但制作更加精细而复杂。
真皮上仪表盘，颜色为黑鲍鱼色，羊皮质下仪表盘的颜色是淡阿吗啡色。车门面板和方向盘轮辐的金属色与其它外饰相映成辉。
在英格兰邓顿(Dunton)，福特欧洲设计小组选派精兵强将，建立了一个特殊设计工作室，专门开发福克斯 Vignale概念车。这个工作室利用强大的计算机资源优势，在完全数字化的环境下，用最短的时间完成了这项设计。
