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. The Capri looks like it was designed by executive committee, with styling that resembles the Polestar 2, but far more nondescript. Ford calls it a "sports...

When asked to name the most beautiful sports cars ever made, most gearheads mention cars like the iconic Jaguar E-Type, 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250 GTO, and other mainstream options. However, there are many drop-dead-gorgeous sports cars that most gearheads still don’t know about.

Let’s face it, folks. There’s nothing more terrifying to a potential car owner than spending their hard-earned money on an SUV that’s been abused, neglected, or highly flawed.

13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.
