Carrera Ford Capri

FORD CAPRI ZAKSPEED TURBO “WÜRTH-KRAUS-ZAKSPEED TEAM -NO.01”

Carrera has released their version of this famous car and for the average home racer it is a welcome sight.

As with other releases from Carrera the past few years, not much work was needed to achieve some seriously fun on track action.

For a very good look inside the 1:1 famous car, head over here to Speedhunters.  Of course it is different paint but it all applies. And Carrera will release this scheme eventually anyway.

Although I welcomed a new mold from Carrera as usual, it wasn’t all fanfare for me.   As a veteran enthusiast I already own several versions of these famous Capri’s in both Fly and Sideways offerings. So seeing yet another version of it just didn’t excite me as much as a mold of a model not yet offered in our hobby.

On the other hand…this is a Carrera version. For starters the model only cost $31.99 in analog. That is a far cry from the collector prices Fly versions bring and almost half of what you would lay out for a Sideways offering.  So for the average home racer on a budget, this release is a very welcome addition.

Overall the car looks just fine to me. Nothing is ever perfect in our hobby and fine scale rivet counters will have their objections. As usual, only you can decide if what you see is good enough for your collection.
