What other modern car, would scare the company's founder(s), with its awesome, futuristic looks?

Nah I think Enzo would be okay with that one

Henry didn't even like the Model A. I can't even imagine his reaction to modern Fords.

Ransome E. Olds would have been severely dissapointed in the mediocre corporate engineered and rebadged Oldsmobiles of not too long ago. He left Oldsmobile to form REO because of conflict with his engineers back in the day. I can only imagine that he would be incredibly chafed.

Enzo Ferrari would probably shit a brick. He never liked spending money on the development of road cars because it took away from his racing. I'd imagine he'd be impressed by the performance, but he'd want them to all be race cars.

Not because of the looks, but because its the opposite of what ol' tractor guy had originally envisioned.

Which makes me realize, Lamborghini really needs a nice GT car.

Henry ford was even scared of the Model A. He built his own little town modeling his birthplace because he was so scared of the (then present-day) 1920s.

Also,

True, but considering that he oversaw the F40 himself I think he'd be more "meh" about it.

Yeah, he was into it pretty late into the game, so he would understand

He would hate the batteries

they designed one but aren't going to make it :(

Ferdinand Porsche designed the Maus tank. That would seem puny, next to it.

A modern 400GT with the V12 out of the Aventador...

I would like that better than the hybrid they designed

Keep the same body they made but use the V12 and no batteries

He would be sad to see his company dead.

Karl Benz on the other hand...

He would think the AMG GT is some sort of beast from hell.

But realistically it would just be a re-bodied Audi S5 with the twin turbo 4.0 V8.

lolol

Or a 2 door Panamera with edgy lines

If Porsche made a 928 out of a Panamera, I wouldn't complain.

It seemed whenever porsche tried to design a tank, he always lost out, except with the mays, of which there were 2.

the ferry doesn't count.

I dunno. I think he and Berta and would be happy.

Well if Enzo felt that way then thats why no one likes the Dino and so many Ferrari had crap tires for the street then. I think the Dodge brothers would happy to see their legacy improved upon with the Viper and that the staff at Dodge is passionate about performance not $$$. Overall, most founders would be just be glad their company is still around. :P

Ol' Ford was scared of Jews for crying out loud. I can't imagine how scared he'd be by a flippin' Focus, let alone the GT!

19th century mindset.

Back then most vehicles looked like those.

And were mostly man or horse powered.

He died in 1929. He saw motorsports begin and the start of 20th century automobiles. The Teardrop happened six years before he died.

I think you're completely right on Ford though. He and Benz had a different mindset.

Me either

Except for one issue

I would want it to have a manual option but they probably would not offer one

To be fair, anything fancier than a Tata Nano would probably either scare Henry Ford or completely piss him off. Seriously, he wasn't the easiest to deal with. Edsel would be all over the Fusion and new Mustang though.

Soichiro Honda, on the other hand, I don't think he would be at all phased at anything Honda is doing right now. A bit disappointed in some respects, but not phased.
