Название этого концепт-кара, представленного компанией Ford в 1988 году, напоминает звук волн, разбивающихся о пляж. Splash задумывался в качестве транспортного средства для любителей водных видов спорта и может перевозить снаряжение для дайвинга или серфинга, имея на борту четырех человек. Современное воплощение багги 60-х и 70-х годов, этот прототип был создан четверкой молодых студентов-дизайнеров.

Клиновидный профиль отличается очень низкой передней частью, которая конрастирует с очень высокой кормой. Точно так же огромному лобовому стеклу конструкторы противопоставили маленькое изогнутое заднее окошко. Любители активного отдыха могут снять боковые окна и панель крыши. Независимо от того, эксплуатруется ли автомобиль в теплое или холодное время, дуга безопасности и четырехточечные ремни эффективно защищают пассажиров.


One of the more striking works developed under long-time Ford design chief Jack Telnack, the Splash is a sports car/roadster hybrid. It features a metallic blue exterior and an interior with gray and blue neoprene highlights. Many of the body panels, as well as the headlights, were designed to be removed for serious off-road driving.

Uniting sports car and pick-up truck themes was the purpose of the 1988 Splash. Looking like a space-age beach buggy, tins sinking two-seater had removable windows, root and rear hatch. Its four-wheel drive, adjustable rides eight and retractable mud flaps boosted its chunky off-road flavor and the colorful weatherproof interior looked trendy enough for its intended youth market.

AUTO LEMON


Jack Telnack, Ford's Vice President - Design, turned four students of Detroit's Center for Creative Studies loose in the summer of 1988 with a simple instruction: design a vehicle they would like to use year round as well as on a summer weekend.

The Splash concept was the result, an all-season concept dune buggy with a number of innovative and imaginative features. It was good enough, in fact, that after the student team completed its work and went back to school, Ford commissioned Autodynamics Corporation of America to build Splash on a front-engined platform. Splash joined Ford Division's auto show truck exhibit for the 1989 season.

The Splash concept's flair is apparent, as is its adaptability. As envisioned in the concept, Splash would have driver-adjustable ride height and attitude to adapt from highway cruising to off-road dashes. The body panels above the beltline - the windows, roof and rear hatch - all are removable for summer fun.

Other Splash features that were announced included retractable high-mount driving lights and unique deployable mud flaps that can be retracted to prevent damage off-road, then deployed to reduce spray and stone damage on the highway. Splash also is compact, built on a 93 inch wheelbase and only 143 inches long by 70 inches wide.

The Splash concept's signature feature is in its interior: coverings for the four occupants' seats are made from neoprene rubber wet suit material. The neoprene seats brought many comments at the time Splash was introduced and were a daring departure from the velours then in vogue in production interiors. The brilliant blue accents didn't hurt the interior's impression, either. The rest of the interior design is stark and practical. Instruments and controls are grouped in a series of small enclosures behind the steering wheel and a small projecting binnacle in the center of the dash. The body design features a dramatic upswept step that captures the dune buggy look, accented with a separate spoiler at the bottom of the rear hatch glass.

Splash sits on 18" modular 3-spoke alloy wheels with custom CNC-cut pattern Goodyear tires, P235/55R at the rear and P225/45R fronts. The wheels are covered by pearl white plastic 3-spoke covers. The disc brakes, with tiny dual piston calipers, are more appropriate to a motorcycle than to a dune buggy concept.
