Experience the Thrill of the New Ford Capri EV at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Introduction: The New Ford Capri EV Takes on Goodwood

At the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed, I had the opportunity to ride in the new Ford Capri EV. This coupe-SUV has caused quite a stir since its launch, with its bold design and impressive performance. As I settled into the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but admire the striking yellow color that Ford has chosen for this model. Despite its controversial size, the Capri EV exudes a practical yet quality feel that is unmistakably Ford.

The Thrill of the Hillclimb: A Fast and Furious Ride

My driver for the day was none other than stunt specialist Paul Swift, a seasoned professional who knows how to push a car to its limits. Our goal was to tackle the Goodwood hillclimb course in under 70 seconds, a challenge that required every bit of the Capri EV’s 335bhp and 402lb ft of torque. As we raced up the hill, I was impressed by the car’s handling and stability, even as we navigated tight corners and fast straights.

A Smooth and Quiet Ride: The Promise of the Capri EV

Throughout the ride, I couldn’t help but marvel at the Capri EV’s ride quality. Despite its performance credentials, the car felt supple and composed over bumps and ridges. With a promised range of around 350 miles on a single charge, this electric powerhouse is shaping up to be a compelling option for drivers seeking both excitement and efficiency.

Embracing Controversy: The Ford Capri Legacy

As we made our way back down the hill, it was clear that the Capri EV had sparked plenty of debate among onlookers. Some questioned whether it deserved to bear the iconic Capri name, but in my opinion, Ford has every right to revive this classic moniker for a new generation. Just as they did with the Explorer and Mustang Mach-E, Ford is leveraging its heritage to create a successful European EV that pushes boundaries and challenges expectations.

Conclusion: A Bright Future for the Ford Capri EV

In conclusion, my brief ride in the Ford Capri EV left me eager for more. With its blend of performance, comfort, and style, this electric powerhouse has the potential to be a game-changer in the EV market. While some may still question its lineage, I have no doubt that the Capri EV will find its place among Ford’s lineup of innovative and exciting vehicles.
