Making its debut at the Chicago Auto Show in 1998, the Ford Libre Concept was another Ford approach to using Fiesta architecture to create a stunning, open-top sports car.
The Libre Concept featured a rear-hinged second door to allow access to rear seating. It was finished in red with a cream leather interior.
The exterior design featured Ford’s New Edge design language, with teardrop shaped headlamps and a large lower front grill. It was fitted with cast alloy wheels in a five-spoke design with 17-inch Pirelli P-Zero tyres.
Body colour treatments are carried through to the interior of the vehicle, contrasting nicely with the cream-coloured materials.
Libre was a small, four-passenger convertible, built off of Ford’s European B-platform. Sharply angled windshield, clean sheet body surfaces and quad-doors were design highlights. A 1.25-liter Sigma engine mated to a five-speed manual supplied power.
