Ford 'revives' the Capri after 30 years as a four-door EV


Ford is reviving that most '70s of cars, the Capri, though pretty much in name only.

Resembling not at all the original two-door pony-style fastback that debuted in 1968, the new Capri will instead be a four-door electric vehicle built on Volkswagen's MEB platform and be sold only in Europe. Ford calls it a "sports coupe for the family," and the only thing vaguely as rebellious as the original is the paint scheme, either in bright yellow or blue. On the tech side, the Capri offers automated lane changes, cyclist detection when opening doors and a massaging driver's seat.
