Can You Guess Which is The New Ford Capri Electric Car
Did the Ford Capri designers get inspiration from a Chinese made electric car
Ford introduced its latest electric car, using a classic Ford sports car nameplate, Capri on Wednesday, which is a revival of a legendary product.
The new all-electric Ford Capri features up to 627 km WLTP driving range and sports car-like performance.
Interestingly, this Ford Capri is powered by a 335hp AWD powertrain, the same as used for VW’s GTX models, the electric SUV coupe can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
It can also fast charge (10% to 80%) in around 26 minutes to get you back on the road. With up to 527 liters of luggage space and a foldable boot floor, the Capri EV has enough room for the whole family.
Meanwhile, we think that this latest Ford electric vehicle has a design language that is very close to the Polestar 2 from 2022.
Polestar 2 PRESS RELEASE: Next-generation electric motors and inverters are fitted to all Polestar 2 variants, offering substantial increases in both efficiency and performance. Single-motor variants are now rear-wheel driven, powered by a newly developed permanent magnet motor and silicon carbide inverter.
The new motor has a power output of up to 220 kW (increased from 170 kW) and is optimised for maximum efficiency and high torque (490 Nm, up from 330 Nm) to further increase the dynamic performance of the car. The 0-100 km/h sprint time has been reduced by as much as 1.2 seconds, down to 6.2 seconds.
The dual-motor version now has a rear-drive bias that increases driving pleasure and performance thanks to a completely re-balanced drivetrain setup and torque-ratio. The new rear motor is the primary drive source, supported on the front axle by a new asynchronous motor.
This enables higher total system output of 310 kW and 740 Nm (increased from the original 300 kW and 660 Nm), vastly improved traction, greater overall efficiency and higher performance – 0-100 km/h is achieved in 4.5 seconds.
Supporting efficiency gains, the front motor can now be disengaged completely when not needed. When the driver wants more power, the front motor re-engages instantly and seamlessly.
Up to 350 kW are available with the optional Performance Pack, and a 0-100 km/h sprint time as low as just 4.2 seconds.
In case you were wondering, The Polestar car brand was established as a new, standalone Swedish premium electric vehicle manufacturer back in 2017. Founded by Volvo Cars and Geely Holding, Polestar enjoys specific technological and engineering synergies with Volvo Cars and benefits from significant economies of scale as a result. Polestar is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its vehicles are currently available and on the road in markets across Europe, North America, China and Asia Pacific.
