New Ford Ka out this Autumn

Ford has released the first official pictures of the Ford Ka, which is to be launched at the 2008 Paris Motor Show this October.

Twelve years after the original Ka was launched the new model is the result of an agreement between Fiat and Ford. The new Ka uses the same structure as the Fiat 500 and will be produced in the same factory in Poland. It will be interesting to see how they shape up together.

Will the Fiat's retro looks win over Ford's much more modern style?



The Ford team say they have aimed for the same youthful and cheeky spirit as the original, with the same qualities – compact size, good looks, lively dynamics and fun personality.

The styling is based on Ford's current 'kinetic design' form language, with some visual cues to provide a connection to the original Ka. But, Ford say, the distinctive face and chunky proportions give the new model has its own unique character. Ford say the interior will feature bold contrasts and expressive colours to appeal to the more adventurous tastes of the typical Ka buyer.
