Ford will unveil the second fully electric model to be produced at its Cologne plant in Germany on July 10th.
Recall that the Explorer 100% electric is the first fully electric model to be produced at Ford’s first dedicated electric vehicle facilities in Europe, following a €2 billion investment in the Cologne production line.
Now, “AutoNewsEurope” reports that everything indicates that the second electric model to be produced at the German factory will be the Capri, not in the classic coupe format, but rather a compact 100% electric crossover.
Ford has not yet confirmed the return of the Capri, but has already announced that the new model will be a “sporty crossover”. Recall that the Ford Capri is one of the most iconic coupes of the American brand, and was produced between 1968 and 1986 and sold 1.8 million units over three generations.
Tudo aponta para que o novo modelo elétrico da Ford venha a fazer uso da plataforma MEB do Grupo Volkswagen, a mesma que é utilizada pelo Explorer e com o qual deve partilhar ainda as várias opções motrizes, assim como as baterias.
