The Capri is one of Ford’s most iconic classic cars, in Europe, and yet since they stopped production of the car, in the early 1990s, they have not really followed up with a worth successor. The idea has been in talks, we’re sure, as it would be a niche vehicle which would acquire a substantial fan-base, especially if it looked like the rendering above.
It takes the current design language used by Ford, and gives it a sporty twist, yet retains the overall shape of the classic Capri, to a certain extent, as this car would be based on a front-wheel drive platform, probably that of the new Fusion/Mondeo. An all-wheel drive version would also be plausible, as well as a hot all-wheel driven version, powered by the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine, currently found under the bonnet of the Taurus SHO - it makes 365 hp, yet it could undoubtedly be tuned to make even more, with ease.
Currently, this is all just wishful thinking, as Ford has no official plans to put anything like this into production, and with the economic situation in Europe at an all-time low, we don’t expect them to change their minds on the matter in the foreseeable future, either.
