PERFECTING PERFECTION FORD GT DESIGNER LOOKS TO THE NEXT FORD GT

摘要

When your name is attached to such a famous vehicle as Camilo Pardo's is to the Ford GT, remaking that vehicle comes with a lot of pressure. "It has to be perfect," said Pardo, the designer and artist who penned the 2005 GT, of the new renderings he created for Motor Trend. "If it doesn't advance the GT far enough, people will say, 'Look at Camilo, he can't do anything else."' But if the design is too futuristic, too off the charts, Pardo adds, people will say, "Oh, Camilo-he's lost it." It's not easy to improve a perfect vehicle. But Pardo, who left Ford after a 25-year career, has created a new name for himself as a formidable artist, designer, painter, and passionate gearhead worthy of the task. "It makes it really hard when the previous vehicle was successful," he said from his Detroit studio along Woodward Avenue.
