I have a picture of that car from a different angle (front 3/4); it's from Car & Driver's 1992 yearbook. Here's the caption:
«Ford Contour»
«A remarkable new in-line eight-cylinder engine is mounted transversally in the front of Ford's newest concept car, the Contour. Power from the new engine is directed through gears located in the center of the crankshaft. This arrangement leaves room to fit a large engine under a very short hood and leaves space enough for six passengers».
