Ford 427 Concept
The early 2000s brought us the renaissance of American performance and many famous muscle cars back from the dead. In 2003, Ford went a step further and introduced a concept. This concept combined pure muscle car power with the elegance of a European performance sedan and the legacy of a classic American four-door car. It was called the 427 Concept, blowing the audience away. The 427 Concept was a sleek four-door car with several cool retro-futuristic design features like the front grille and the rear lights reminiscent of the classic Ford Galaxie 7-Litre cars of the ’60s (via Dezo Garage).
But the best thing was under the hood. It boasted a 427 CID V10 engine with 590 HP and brutal performance. With an elegant exterior and so much power, the 427 Concept was the dream car of many muscle car enthusiasts. For a while, it looked like Ford was preparing to produce this car and fight the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, and Cadillac CTS. However, the recession turned the company’s focus to more fuel-efficient models, canceling the fantastic 427 Concept project.
