The Ford Elite was an automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market from 1974 to 1976. The Elite was based on the Ford Torino, and was a two-door coupe intended to be, in the words of Ford's advertising, a "mid-size car in the Thunderbird tradition"—a more affordable personal luxury car than the Thunderbird, intended to compete with such cars as the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Chrysler Cordoba.

- The Ford Elite was an automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market from 1974 to 1976. The Elite was based on the Ford Torino, and was a two-door coupe intended to be, in the words of Ford's advertising, a "mid-size car in the Thunderbird tradition"—a more affordable personal luxury car than the Thunderbird, intended to compete with such cars as the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Chrysler Cordoba. It was essentially the concurrent Mercury Cougar XR-7 with a mild front end restyle. In the 1974 model year, the Elite was considered a sub-model of the Torino; although advertised separately, the side script said "Gran Torino Elite" and the car would be titled and registered as a Gran Torino. In 1975 and 1976 (with "Elite" side script),the Elite was fully its own model. In all three years, the car sold well. The Elite name was dropped after 1976 because the Ford range was being restructured and downsized. The Thunderbird was dramatically reduced in size and price for 1977, moving to the old Torino platform, whereas the Elite was replaced by the LTD II. In effect, the Elite continued under the more-recognized Thunderbird name, with the larger car being discontinued.
- Der Ford Elite (anfangs Gran Torino Elite) war ein von 1973 bis 1976 vom US-amerikanischen Automobilhersteller Ford in den USA produziertes Coupé der gehobenen Mittelklasse. Zum Modelljahr 1974 führte Ford als Spitzenmodell der Baureihe Torino den Gran Torino Elite ein, ein zweitüriges Coupé mit betont luxuriöser Ausstattung. Erhältlich waren V8-Motoren von 5,8 bis 7,5 Liter Hubraum und 121 bis 160 kW (165–218 PS). Ab 1975 entfiel die Bezeichnung Gran Torino, der Wagen hieß einfach Ford Elite. An Karosserie und Innenraum gab es minimale Änderungen, die Motorleistungen beliefen sich auf 107 bis 163 kW (145–221 PS). 1976 kam eine längere Hinterachsübersetzung zum Einsatz, was den Verbrauch senken sollte. Ab Modelljahr 1977 wurde der Elite entbehrlich, da ab diesem Zeitpunkt der Ford Thunderbird auf der Plattform des Torino aufbaute und dadurch wesentlich preiswerter angeboten werden konnte als zuvor. In drei Jahren baute Ford insgesamt 366.500 Exemplare des Elite.

- Ford Elite — автомобиль, производства Ford Motor Company, выпускаемый в Северной Америке с 1974 по 1976 годы. Elite был основан на платформе Ford Torino, и согласно рекламе представлял собой «автомобиль средних размеров в традициях Thunderbird» — то есть, более компактная и доступная машина, чем Thunderbird, но с похожим дизайном и таким же уровнем отделки, предназначенная конкурировать с такими автомобилями, как Chevrolet Monte Carlo и Chrysler Cordoba. В 1974 модельном году, Elite рассматривается в качестве подмодели Ford Torino, хотя и заявлена отдельной. Надпись на ней «Gran Torino Elite» говорит об этом. В 1975 и 1976 годах Ford Elite продаётся как отдельная собственная модель с шильдиком «Elite», а за все три года машина себя хорошо зарекомендовала, как успешная по продажам. Из-за реорганизации и сокращений в компании, в 1976 году название Elite прекратили использовать. Thunderbird был резко сокращен в размерах и в цене к 1977 году, будучи перемещенным на старую платформу Torino, а последний сам был заменен на LTD II. По сути, выпуск Elite был прекращен.
