este frumos. ar fi ceva sa vedem pe strazi o astfel de masina

[BogdanFSB]

eu cred ca sunt povesti...

[mihai_florescu_09]

da...speculatii.. e frumos sa visezi totusi si nu e nimic rau in asta

[andu_012]

chiar vroiam si eu sa deschid topic cu asta. sa speram ca va deveni realitate

[Cristian_C]

Ar fi frumos,dar sa aiba motor turbo de vreo 200 de caluti...

[edit]

arata bestial
ford a prezentat de fiecare data concepte interesante dar s-au concretizat in masini mai putin atragatoare.
daca ford mondeo ar fi foat macar 25% din ford iosis, ar fi fost ceva.

[octav_m]

daca o sa arate asa si va avea motorul de pe focus st 2.5 turbo...va fi de vis

It's the car every Ford fan has been waiting to see! Here’s the new Capri.

The original was one of the most famous and best loved models in the firm’s history, and left the scene in the late Eighties. Now, the time has come to reinvent the classic.

Affordable coupés are experiencing a real renaissance, and Ford has already proved its talent for building niche products with models such as the S-MAX compact MPV and Kuga 4x4. So the stage is set for the Capri to make its stunning comeback.

One thing is for sure – it will not be short of competition. Audi has its A5 and Volkswagen has resurrected the Scirocco, while Toyota is planning a Celica replacement based on Subaru Impreza running gear.

There’s also Hyundai’s forthcoming Coupé, plus news that Peugeot has at last given its 308 RC Z the green light for production.

But while there will be an army of rivals, the Capri will certainly have style in its favour. As you can see from our pictures, the new Ford is a real feast for the eyes. If it seems a little familiar, that’s because it takes some cues from the 2003 Visos concept.

However, it mixes those with the company’s latest design themes. At the front there are the trademark twin grilles, with a large lower air intake incorporating neat spotlights. Bold Mondeo-style headlamps complete the Capri’s striking look.

Its profile harks back to the original model, with a tail-heavy stance and familiar C-shaped rear windows and thick pillars. At the back, strong shoulder lines combine with distinctive tail-lights and a sloping tailgate to create a pert-looking rear. A neat roof spoiler and venturi-style lower bumper finish the design off.

Inside, the Capri will offer a 2+2 seating layout, with a cabin inspired by the current-generation Mondeo’s. Under the skin, it’s likely that Ford will follow VW’s approach with the Scirocco, which sits on the Golf platform, and base the car around the Focus. That will mean a front-wheel-drive layout and a similar engine line-up to the family model, with the range topped by the 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged unit from the ST hot hatch.

An RS version, powered by a 3.2-litre six-cylinder motor and offering four-wheel drive, could also be on the cards.

With the Focus as a starting point, things bode well for the Capri’s handling. Engineers will give the new model a sporty suspension set-up to ensure excellent grip and agility. There’s even the possibility it will benefit from the Mondeo’s adaptive damping system. This would provide the car with sharp handling or refined cruising ability at the flick of a switch.

As Ford has yet to officially confirm its new Capri plans, we won’t see the car before the next decade. However, it has been reported that the blue oval is planning to reveal a concept version of the coupé at a major motor show in 2009.

cred ca incep sa strang bani

[Cornel001]

Mi se pare o combinatie buna de aer retro + modern.

cu noua linie de motoare cica pe vine + comunizarea powershift, cred ca va pune concurenta serioasa pt scirocco.

[Darth-Claudiu]

Am pe undeva sentimentul ca Ford mai mult vorbeste decat face...

[bm3rmy]

Frumos arata in poze, foarte frumos.
Scirocco arata al nabi de bine exterior. Interior mai putin.

[edit]

pai ala trebuie sa fie conceptul pt jaguar XF iar produsul final ce a iesit este deosebit.
cred ca jaguarul Xf este unul din cele mai frumoase masini la ora actuala.

[ag66wrc]

destul de frumos capri asta din poze dar nici cu sirocco nu imi e rusine...si sirocco deocamdata a iestit la productie, circula pe strazi deja.e o masina foarte frumoasa si interior si exterior, o masina reusita cu un motor puternic

[octav_m]

bye bye scirocco

Deci daca va arata ceva in gen in mai sus, planul meu ca viitoarea masina sa fie Focusul RS cred ca usor usor se schimba

LE:
There’ll be even more reason to smile when buyers see the engine range. New turbocharged EcoBoost powerplants will be available, with most cars getting a 1.6-litre petrol, producing 148bhp or 178bhp.

A new 1.6 TDCi diesel will also debut, giving up to 128bhp, alongside a flagship 2.0-litre with 168bhp or 197bhp. All these units will combine pace with superb fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. And helping the Focus Coupé to be even more efficient will be the option of a Powershift twin-clutch gearbox. This will be offered in addition to a standard-fit manual transmission. Stop-start technology is also expected to be rolled out across the line-up.

Foarte interesant...

[mihai_florescu_09]

hai ca isi revin creditele pana in 2010. Am timp sa strang si banii de avans Cred ca 1.6 Turbo cu 148CP si cu functia Start-Stop engine ar fi perfect pt nevoile mele cel putin.

[Cornel001]

Dar astea le-ati vazut ?

arata bine...dar nu cred ca va iesi asa pe poarta fabricii
+ ca asta e Ford Focus, nu Capri

[mihai_florescu_09]

si in revista Autoshow de luna trecuta tot ca focus e prezentat. nu este exclus ca varianta in 3 usi sa se numeasca capri si varianta sedan si in 5 usi sa fie focus. Parca asa zicea si conducerea ford ca hatch-urile in 3 usi vor avea ca tinta publicul tanar, iar sedanul si varianta in 5 usi vor fi mai cuminti. acum numai ei stiu daca vor avea acelasi nume sau nu.

[Cornel001]

da, de-aia l-am pus aici pt ca se zvoneste, cf articolelor existente, ca, Capri ar fi Focus in 3 usi. Daca va fi ceva total separat, nu e exclus.

[Mihai R]

Eu abia astept sa vad ceva concret atat pt Focus cat si pt. Capri. Daca se va numi varianta in 3 usi Capri ... rusinica Ford ... ca nu e VolksWagen sa-ti vanda sedanu cu un nume si hatchu cu altu (Jeta si Golf).

Momentan cum zicea cineva mai sus ... multa gargara ... dar nimic concret. Sa vedem care e marele autoshow de anul asta si care va fi marea lor surpriza.
