The Capri is back!!

Ford's secret plans for a Focus Coupé aka, Capri!

We kid you not, the Capri is back, as a hot hatch! Due for its debut sometime in 2010 and rumoured to be in production by 2012, the new Capri is a three-door version of the highly popular Ford Focus.

As you can see from the pictures it's a mix of Fords latest design themes with the trademark twin grilles at the front, large lower air intakes and bold LED, Mondeo-style headlamps complete the new Capri's striking appearance. However, you can still see some subtle styling clearly taken from the original Capri, notably the heavy back end, trademark C-shaped rear windows and thick pillars.

The new Capri will boast a wide range of options when it comes to choosing the powerplant to attract a wide range of customers including a fuel efficient 140bhp 4-cylinder, a sporty 250bhp 5-cylinder, or a smaller, more efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. This would make the Capri a worthy opponent for VW's revived Scirocco and will also be priced at a competitive £17000.

We were all very excited to learn of this new release here at V e r o o o m and we certainly look forward to taking one for a spin as soon as it gets released on the UK market.
