Scale recreation of the Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5

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.

Why the TT-02 is trusted on the track

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.

Authentic styling with practical tuning options

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.

Assembly time varies with experience but expect several evenings for a careful build, including painting and fitting electronics.
Use polycarbonate-specific spray paints for the best finish and flexibility; regular model paints may crack on lexan bodies.
An ESC is included but verify its specifications before swapping to a brushless motor to ensure compatibility and proper connectors.
Rubber slicks included are suitable for smooth club tracks; you can fit compound tyres depending on surface grip and weather.
Many vintage and classic touring classes accept scale replicas like this, but check class rules on modifications and motor limits first.
