2009 Ford Ka: Ford’s Version of the Fiat 500 Unwrapped

The forthcoming Ford Ka II minicar has been caught with its pants down by the folks over at German car magazine “Autobild”. In their latest issue, the second generation Ka is revealed in detail without any camouflage whatsoever. Set to make its first public appearance at the Paris Auto Show this fall, the Ka is heavily based on the Fiat 500 and it will be built alongside the Italian mini in at Fiat’s Tychy plant in Poland.

From what we can tell from these images and even though the shape of the Ka bears a strong resemblance to the Fiat 500, it doesn’t look like it shares any visible parts with its the retro-penned Italian minicar. Instead, the Ka looks more like a Fiesta that just came out of the dryer....

2009 Ford Ka Rendering Looks Pretty Accurate

From all the renderings of the forthcoming second-generation Ford Ka that we’ve seen up until now, we’d say that this one, courtesy of the Italian website “Omniauto”, seems like its the closest one to the actual car that will be unveiled this fall at the Paris Motor Show. The 2009 Ka rendering incorporates several design elements from the all-new Ford Fiesta hatchback and in all, it looks pretty nice.

While Ford’s new Euro baby will be built on the same platform as the highly successful Fiat 500, according to the company’s execs, the new Ka will not share any visible parts with its Italian counterpart.
