pot on wheels

Ford has unveiled a concept car in Detroit to move on criminogenic areas of the city. Parked the car turns into an impregnable bunker for the Vandals, where you can sit and watch TV, does not paying attention to troubled teens trying raskurochit machine.

Industrial Detroit is considered to be not the best in terms of the crime situation US city. In some poor neighborhoods of a visiting motorist is better not to go out of the car, unless the star restlinga and sixth dan in judo. It is clear that hijacking trucks and stealing things from the car is far from uncommon.

Ford, you head plants which are located precisely in Detroit, came up with the perfect vehicle for survival in severe criminal situation. It is called SynUS.
For a product of the American automotive SynUS ridiculously small. At the same time designers do not hide the fact that the prototype machine became Collector armored cars.

View the "Sine" is really terrible - a sort of gray korobchonku on widely spaced wheels with flat glass, tiny loopholes in the wall of the front bumper and solid.

Interior cars sharply contrasts with her brutal appearance. Inside SynUS covered with soft surfacing materials "warm" colors. The front row of comfortable anatomic seat can be rotated 180 degrees, so that the room is transformed into a cozy coupe for four. The rear wall of the machine deaf - instead of glass in it a huge color LCD-display. Fordovtsy boast that it is the big screen has ever managed to cram into the car. On it you can display images from the cameras of the external review.
The motion display replaces the rear glass - looking in the cabin rear-view mirror, the driver sees it the same thing that would have seen through ordinary glass.

The display is also suitable for entertainment: You can surf the net or watch a movie - as in any modern concept of "Sinus" is a fancy entertainment system.

It is clear that all these "tricks" like a magnet will attract variegated street punks. But to get into the car, no bully can not. Parked SynUS becomes a kind of bunker. Windshield and side windows are closed machines with blanking plates. "Bare" are only small windows in the wall and roof. But they are made of bulletproof glass. The back door of the machine is controlled from the driver's seat.
The funniest part of the "sine" - Cylindrical combination lock on the side of the rack. He continues, "the collector" theme, giving the car similar to the bank safe.

To get into the car without a key, you can: only need to dial a number combination, consistently turning the knob.

Structurally SynUS arranged quite simple - on the chassis of the subcompact Fiesta. Front MacPherson struts at the car, rear - semi-dependent torsion bar suspension. 2-liter diesel Duratorq chetyrehtsilidrovy capacity of 134 liters. from. They took a Ford Mondeo. But SynUS this motor runs on a mixture of conventional diesel fuel (80%) and biodiesel (20%). Supplements are obtained from agricultural waste and recycled cooking oil. This fuel is non-toxic and is rapidly degraded in the natural environment. The machine rolls on 18-inch alloy wheels, which are shod with cportivno- tires Pirelli 225/50.

However, Ford's not particularly hopeful that SynUS ever fall into the showrooms of dealers in its original form. Some stylistic solutions tested on it, of course, promise to use when creating a future car companies. What is the production model can borrow the style of the armored car, while, of course, is not mentioned. The Ford also does not apply to the circumstances under which the firm's management has taken a decision to develop expensive "brutal concept."
