10 Zakspeed Ford Capri

-

This is one of the most outlandish Fords ever built and must have adorned the walls of 100s of motor racing fans of the late 1970s.

Build by Ford’s official team in Germany, Zakspeed, the machine, the Mk3 version of the coupe, was built for the Deutsche Rennsport Meistersch­aft (DRM) in 1978. The machine, which was powered by a 1.8-litre turbo engine, was really a spaceframe­d racer rather than being based on its road-going cousin. It contested the DRM from 1978 through to 1981 and allowed Klaus Ludwig to claim the national spoils in that final season.
