Ford Reflex

The Ford Reflex was a concept car introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show that, according to Ford, "proved small cars could be bold and American". It was a technological showcase that included solar panel-powered headlights, an integrated child seat, a baby cam with a monitor mounted on the dash, inflatable rear safety belts, and an interior quieted by ground rubber taken from Nike athletic shoe outsoles. A production version of the Reflex design has never been announced. It featured an advanced diesel-electric hybrid engine with new-generation lithium ion batteries that could help deliver up to 65 miles per US gallon of diesel fuel, and could accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7 seconds.
