New Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet
Posted by bensto in Ford on 03 15th, 2008
Ford Motor Company showing the new Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. The model will combine the hot-looking ‘kinetic’ Europe Focus lineup that already includes a three-door, four-door, five-door, wagon and the sporty ST model. We’re still looking forward to the RS model that will be launched in 2009.
The Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet is accessible in a range of Duratec gasoline and Duratorq diesel engines. The two Duratec engines include a 1.6L that produces 98hp and a 2.0L that produces 143hp. The 2.0L Duratorq TDCi engine produces 134hp.
The car is once again available in three different trim levels including the Trend, Sport and the range-topping Titanium level that features 17-inch alloy wheels and a partial leather seats. And yes Ford, we want one on the state side -just as bad as we want all the other Euro Ford models including the Mondeo even if it doesn’t make sense.
In addition to standard front and side airbags, Ford’s new Rollover Protection Device (RPD) system plays a vital role in increasing Focus Coupé-Cabriolet’s passive safety performance. RPD is designed to help protect passengers in the unlikely event that the vehicle rolls over. Electronic sensors and a gyroscope are at the heart of the system, and can detect an impending rollover. When this happens, two ultra-strong safety roll bars “fire” into position within a tenth of a second. Combined with the reinforced A-pillars and the highly rigid front window frame, RPD is a reassuring device that provides valuable extra protection for occupants.
