TheFord Taunus P3had a completely new body in a very modern style. The look of car reminded some critics of a bath tub, and it consequently gained the soubriquet "Taunus Badewanne".At a time when competitors boasted that all four corners of the vehicles were visible from the driver's seat, the new Taunus instead offered a streamlined form.However, in Germany the concept of streamlining in cars was associated with narrow passenger cabins reminiscent of the 1930s and of the still popularVolkswagen Beetle.The new Taunus, however, provided greater interior width than its predecessor despite being no wider on the outside.Although the 1.7 litre version was launched with the same 60 PS power output as the outgoing model, the new model was a full 10km/h (6mph) faster, which was attributed to improved aerodynamics and a lighter body-shell.[4]The front end styling is reminiscent of the 1961 U.S. Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln Continental.
