Why this kit matters

The Ford Zakspeed Capri was one of the most recognisable competitors in the Group 5 racing era. Built by the German Zakspeed team, it featured extensive modifications, including turbocharged engines and wide aerodynamic bodywork designed for maximum track performance.

During the late 1970s, the Capri competed in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft and other European series, becoming a symbol of the extreme “silhouette” racing class. This model captures the bold design and racing spirit of that period, making it a standout addition to any collection.
