Mini Bank Vault?
At less than five-feet high and designed to look like a cross between a bank vault and an armored car, the SYNUS was definitely one of the most unusual concept vehicles at the Detroit show, with some unique features to match its less-than-traditional appearance.
Built on Europe's Ford Fiesta platform, is anything like the SYNUS ever likely to hit the streets? No, but Ford's new subcompact, expected sometime this decade, might borrow a little basic styling from the concept.
SYNUS Features
Front seats turn to face the rear so that you can make good use of the giant LCD screen in the rear door (which has no window). Log on to the Internet, watch movies, or find out what's happening around the vehicle, courtesy of built-in video cameras.
When the SYNUS is in motion, cameras allow the LCD screen to show a wide view of what's behind the vehicle.
