The Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 became a fan favourite thanks to its sleek silhouette and racing history. Piloted by Klaus Ludwig to a second place in the 1982 German Racing Championship at Salzburg, the car is faithfully modelled by Tamiya in 1/10 scale and fitted to the versatile TT-02 chassis.
The TT-02 chassis is known for its easy build and solid on-road manners. It delivers improved cornering and higher potential speed compared with older TT platforms and is compatible with many modern electronics. The shaft-driven 4WD design gives consistent traction and predictable behaviour for both practice sessions and race day. The chassis also supports numerous Hop-Up Options for stepwise upgrades.
The kit features a polycarbonate body that reproduces the Capri's lines and Jagermeister paint scheme. Realistic details include brake disc-shaped hubs and a fully independent double wishbone suspension for controlled handling. Longitudinal motor and battery layout aid balance, and adjustable camber, toe, ride height and gearing let you fine tune the setup.
Tamiya's 58590 Zakspeed Jagermeister Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 TT-02 Kit is a great pick for those who enjoy building period-correct race cars and tuning them for better track performance. It offers a smooth entry point into upgrades without losing its classic appeal.
