The new Capri seems to be a mix between the company’s latest designs in innovations.

The new, upgraded three door version of Ford Focus is said to be a top-notch family car for 2010.
Ford’s approach with the Capri reminds of what Volkswagen did with the Scirocco in terms of reinventing an old model and the expectations concerning this vehicle are high. Yet, as far as an affordable coupe the Capri is not short of competition: there are Audi with A5, Volkswagen with Scirocco, Peugeot with 308 RC Z etc.

The concept of the new Capri is to be brought at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September and to be produced in 2010. In what concerns the aspect of the new Capri the automobile is inspired from the Max concept whose premiere was at the Geneva Motor Show (if you’ve seen it you know it’s saying something). The car has a hatchback, a tail-heavy stance, C-shaped rear windows and thick pillars. Rumor has it that the Capri will be set up on the Focus platform. Capri could have a 3,2 litre six-cylinder motor with a four wheel drive or a  2,5 litre five-cylinder turbocharged. In the interior it has a 2+2 seating and could be inspired by Mondeo.

All things considered I should say that the Capri has to face some very high expectations since Volkswagen’s reinventing the Scirocco was a success and since the Capri itself was a success back in the day. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it rises to the expectations.
