Historical Information

The Ford Zakspeed Capri Gr. 5 was specially prepared for Group 5 competition – the "silhouette" class, where extensive body modifications were allowed to improve aerodynamics and performance. It was used by the Zakspeed team from Germany in DRM events and on the international stage from 1978 to 1982, with its greatest rivals being the Porsche 935 and BMW M1. The Capri Gr. 5 became famous not only for its innovative technical solutions, such as the turbocharged 1.4 DOHC engine generating over 500 HP, but also for its aggressive styling and the WURTH sponsor livery, so characteristic of this era of racing.
