Founded in & rsquo; occasion of the & rsquo; World Expo in Seattle 1962 The theme was the 21st century.
The correct name of the car is Ford Seattle ite XXI, but she never existed otherwise than in model form the third ... Ford gave the impression to the public that this car actually existed and today many websites that trace its history, have been fooled, including myself on oto6. But it was not counting on SixMania, I decided to understand the true history of Ford Seattle, that is here !

It is the designer Alex Tremulis who designed this Ford. There was hired in the late 50 trying to conceive "the car of the year 2000 ».

After designing concept cars X-Nucleon in 2000 1958, then in the Ford Gyron 1961, it will create the Ford Seattle 1962.

This car 6 Future wheels must imagine the future of technology, of the year 2000. All documentation is also coupled to the future.

Ford Seattle may be propelled either by a fuel cell, either by an atomic pile, housed in the front of the car compartment, between the 4 steering wheels. This would be completely detachable from the back of the car, so you can change it easily, without risk.

The power delivered would be between 60 CVs and more 400 cv.
The four wheels are there to improve traction and braking efficiency.

In the cockpit, Ford is strong in anticipation, with a sophisticated GPS system, since this program tactilely, it sets a route that will follow the car alone by displaying the arrival time, as the current systems. The weather and the technical data of the motor will also be posted there.
In manual mode, simply tap the touch screen to move, therefore no use to have a steering wheel on the dashboard.

An amazing shutters window system will be present at the back of the roof, it is supposed to improve ventilation and reduce noise. All the windows are variable vision density to compensate for brightness problems, and an interior light diffuser will complement the device. Air conditioning will also be present.

The documentation prepared for the occasion of the International Exhibition says in conclusion that scientists hang all freedoms to further enhance their research and propose other more advanced systems.

Until there, everything is clear at Ford, a scale model 1/3 will be on display in the Ford stand throughout the duration of exposure.

But the story does not end quite there, photos that were presented in the press has not reported a model and everything was staged to make it appear that the Ford Seattle was built to scale.

It is this picture that has allowed confusion, in reality it is a photo montage that was later realized, taking a photo of the model with the inclusion of a woman in the background.

What was the purpose of such false operation at Ford ? I have not got this reply, the fact remains that the Ford Seattle was never built real, despite many beliefs !

In all it is possible to read on Internet, in all languages, few webmasters have realized that this was only a mock. There is everything in the explanations, this is the first car 6 wheels of the world (lol), it inspired Ken Tyrrell to its P34, it inspired the fuel cell, it was conceived in 4 wheels, and so on of the best !

Ford still designed a very nice car, and beautiful ideas, Thanks for that.
