Coupé cabriolet completes Ford Focus family

The newly launched four-seater Ford Focus coupé cabriolet joins the three-door, four-door, five-door, wagon and sporty ST models, extending the comprehensive Focus range. This is the greatest variety of body styles for a single vehicle line within the Ford of Europe portfolio.

As a final addition to the Focus range, the all-new Focus RS high performance model will be launched next year.

The newly designed Focus coupé cabriolet, with its retractable hard top, will once again be manufactured at the Bairo plant of Pininfarina, Ford's partner in designing, engineering and building the Focus coupé cabriolet.

With the roof closed, the new coupé cabriolet offers a best-in-class luggage capacity of 534 litres. Even with the retractable hardtop stowed in the boot, the new CC provides a voluminous 248 litres of luggage space under the folded roof.

The entire front end design of the new Ford Focus was fully adopted for the coupé cabriolet. The new three-dimensional bonnet design flows harmoniously into the iconic dual-trapezoidal-grille design, with both the upper and lower grille being equipped with a classy chrome surrounding. The front bumper and lights clearly reflect the latest dynamic Focus styling, but are also tailored to fit the elegant side view of the coupé cabriolet perfectly.

The interior styling of the new Focus Coupé-Cabriolet also received a fresh approach, with bold design statements, high quality finishes and hard-wearing materials all completed with a high level of craftsmanship. Most prominent for the driver is a new instrument cluster of a 'binocular' style with instruments illuminated in red.

A choice of two Duratec petrol engines are available with the Focus coupé cabriolet. The 1.6-litre 100 PS/74 kW Duratec petrol is the entry level into the Focus 'wind-in-the-hair' experience.

The well acclaimed 2.0-litre 145 PS/107 kW Duratec HE engine is available with a choice of a sporty six-speed manual transmission or the very comfortable FN automatic transmission for relaxed cruising.

The new Focus coupé cabriolet is available with a special 'Sport' pack, covering sport suspension and specially designed 17-inch alloy wheels.

Black tinted headlamp housings on the exterior emphasise the sporty appearance of this series.

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.

The 1.6-litre Focus CC Sport starts at €35,800 (Lm15,639).
