Ford unveiled an all-electric Capri reboot that merges a nod to the original design with modern EV features, targeting today’s buyers.
Ford has pulled out some iconic IP from its back catalogue, launching an electric reboot of its 1970s muscle car, the Capri.
The US carmaker, in a press release, said the new all-electric Ford Capri reimagines the classic sports coupe for the electric vehicle (EV) era, combining iconic design elements with modern features.
Car owners of a certain vintage may, however, find themselves disappointed by what is a largely contemporary and not particularly familiar aesthetic.
The new EV Capri boasts a driving range of 620 kilometres and has fast-charging capability, plus more than 570 litres of boot space … both features are a far cry from the 1970s old-school Capri.
Effectively being a sporty all-electric SUV, is very much targeted at modern car owners rather than classic car enthusiasts – with the model set to compete directly with the Tesla Model Y, the Polestar 2 or the ever-expanding range of Western and Chinese EVs.
