New Capri launched

[Smartguy67]

Electric cars are known for their rapid acceleration. I think it was one of the BYD cars I looked at the specs for and 0-60 was something like 3.8 seconds. That's nearly as fast as my 600 CBR

Had a days loan of a New Capri today whilst my 74 plate Titanium Puma was back in the dealers having misaligned panels sorted.
My first drive in an EV and all I can say is WOW!
Acceleration is absolutely bonkers and the ride and handling was pretty good too.
I admit I have until now been an EV sceptic, I think I’m converted
It certainly has the interior that the face lifted Puma should have had, very smart and well screwed together.
Hopefully the EV Puma due in late 2025 is as good.
I think I have been turned

Isn’t the Puma Gen E launched next week?
That’s what is says on Ford’s website.
December 3rd.

Our dealer has told us it’s Tuesday 3rd December for launch of the GEN-E

Yes it may well be launched shortly, I was going by when my dealers said they were expecting their first demonstrator.
I really liked the new Capri but not at circa £50,000. I will have a test drive of the EV Puma but unless the build quality has improved dramatically will probably head towards a Kia at next change.
Lots of issues in that Romanian facility, quality control appears non existent
