The classic Ford Scorpio, also known as the Ford Granada Scorpio in some markets, was a large executive car produced by Ford in Europe from 1985 to 1998. It was positioned as a premium offering, featuring advanced technology and luxury features. The Scorpio went through two generations during its production run. The first generation (1985-1994) was known for its distinctive design, while the second generation (1994-1998) brought a more modern look and advanced safety features. The Scorpio was praised for its comfort and performance, competing with other executive sedans in Europe. It was eventually replaced by the Ford Mondeo as Ford's flagship sedan.
