New Capri For 2012
Report: Ford wants to build a Scirocco-beating Capri
Del Boy got his order in early
Ford has in the past brought out the ‘new Capri’ in the form of the Probe and Cougar, but the reality is they didn’t really hit the spot.
Now apparently the US firm is serious about creating a Capri replacement, having been spurred into action by the arrival of the new VW Scirocco.
Several reports in Germany claim Ford is preparing a new concept to celebrate next year’s 40th anniversary of the original ’69 Ford Capri Mark 1.
The concept will eventually be turned into a new mk4 version around 2012.
Some sources are telling us to expect the latest Kinetic design to feature heavily on the Capri, as seen on the recent Kuga and new Focus range.
According to Autobild, the new Capri will range will have an output of between 140 and 250bhp with both four and five-cylinder engines on offer.
The car will also be about the same size as the new Scirocco and will be priced from about £17,000.
