COLOGNE, Germany, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- When you have the
soul – when you have the spirit – it doesn't matter if you choose
to take time out of the spotlight. You can pick your moment to make
a comeback. And you can do it with style and swagger. Ford is proud
to introduce the new all-electric Ford Capri. Rewired for the EV
generation.
With the return of the Capri, a much-loved cult classic, Ford
has extended its EV offering again, bringing back a fan favourite.
A classic sports coupe loved by families across Europe has been reborn for an electric
generation, with a new look, still in keeping with its iconic
design features, but now with a modern purpose.
Ford has partnered with French football legend Eric Cantona to lead the reveal of the new
Capri, seen fronting the company's launch of the car, as well as
featuring throughout its campaign.
Legendary mischief maker Cantona said "Some say legends are
born. Others say legends are made. Only legends really know. This
Capri is a remarkable reinterpretation of the classic. A sports
coupe for the family. But, more importantly, it's all-electric.
That is the future. Legends apologise for nothing."
The all-electric Capri has been designed to be rebellious to its
core, with a colour palette to match and the swagger you would
expect from an original Capri of old. The new EV design contains
design cues inspired by its predecessor, from the style of the
headlights, through to the body shape and rear appearance.
It's a true sports car for the family, with more than 620km
driving range with fast-charging capability, and more than 570
litres of boot space.
Beyond the design, this EV aims to bring the heritage of the
Capri into the future with an array of technologies that will
enhance the customer experience. Intelligent technologies such as
automated lane changes and watching out for cyclists when opening
doors mean the Capri can help keep you safe on the open road and
within the city. Meanwhile a massaging driver's seat comes as
standard along with a sliding touch screen, making the all-electric
Ford Capri an EV designed to celebrate the past while reinventing
the future.
