Tamiya 58578 - Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri Gr.5 Retro Racer Kit  [58578]

Iconic Group 5 styling reimagined

The Tamiya 58578 Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri Gr.5 Wurth faithfully reproduces the aggressive lines and race livery of the original car at 1/10 scale. Paired with the TT-02 4WD chassis, this model is both an accurate replica and a practical base for setup experimentation.

Practical features of the TT-02 platform

The TT-02 is favoured for its ease of use and upgrade path. Its symmetrical layout and straightforward suspension make maintenance simple while providing predictable handling. The chassis accepts common hop-up parts so you can adapt the car to different driving conditions.

Background on the Turbo Capri

The Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri was notable in early 1980s touring car battles thanks to its aerodynamics and turbocharged engine. This kit mirrors the key visual elements that marked its on-track presence.

Paths to improved performance

Starting from the stock components, builders commonly upgrade motors, fit metal suspension parts, and add bearings to sharpen acceleration and cornering. The TT-02 supports these typical modifications.

With Tamiya 58578 you get a collectible body and a versatile TT-02 chassis that can grow with your skills, making it a good choice for both display and active track use.
