Ford Mad Max Interceptor concepts made their world debut at the Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne. The two concepts were designed by Ford Australia in cooperation with Top Gear Australia in order to celebrate the revival of the Mad Max action movie genre.
"We’re
delighted that both our readers and the social web community have
warmed to the car," TopGear Australia Editor, Stephen Corby, said. "The
level of interest has really taken us by surprise, particularly with
on-line media."
The company presented two 40% size
clay models weighing in at around 130 kg (286 lbs) and dressed to the
nines with all of the detailing and trim highlights. The two concepts
were designed by Nima Nourian and Simon Brook and use
industrial-strength weaponry like "tasers" mounted in the front of the
cars to zap bad guys on bikes straight off the road. Other futuristic
movie features include a titanium-lined body shell to interrupt police
scanners and wheels with extendable spikes to shred enemy vehicles.
"It
has given our team a lot of scope to really extend their imaginations
The team has been able to get quite creative because the Mad Max car is
not constrained by the normal design parameters imposed by a real-world
vehicle."
