The Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo (1978) is one of the most legendary racing cars of the German Racing Championship (DRM) of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Developed by the German Zakspeed team, the car was based on the Ford Capri only in appearance – technically, it was a purebred racing machine. Under the hood was a highly tuned, turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that could deliver over 500 hp, depending on the setup. Combined with its extremely wide silhouette, aggressive aerodynamics, and iconic Group 5 look, the Zakspeed Capri Turbo became one of the most spectacular racing machines of its era.

Tamiya brings back this motorsport monster as a highly detailed 1:10 scale model – with a striking polycarbonate body in typical Group 5 style and many authentic details from racing history.

The model is based on the proven TT-02 chassis , Tamiya's most versatile and beginner-friendly on-road platform. It offers stable, balanced handling, easy assembly, and numerous options for future performance upgrades. The 4WD shaft-drive design ensures reliable traction and controlled handling – ideal for beginners, hobbyists, and fans of classic racing cars.

Overall, the Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo based on the TT-02 is an impressive blend of historic racing passion and modern RC technology – perfect for model builders, Tamiya enthusiasts and lovers of iconic DRM vehicles.
