1982 Zakspeed Capri RS2800 T

Silverstone Auctions continues to work its way through the 'Faster Fords' back catalogue courtesy of our vendors and we are delighted to further tick the 'Capri box' with this super original and rare Zakspeed Turbo by Ford of Europe’s well-respected tuner Erich Zakowski. Conceived early in 1980 by the Ford Motorsport Performance Vehicles Program, the idea was to build 200 units powered by the 2,300cc V6, however, the success of the newly launched 2.8-litre engine soon changed the final specification.

Unique correspondence in this car's history file noted that 50 units were at their Niederzissen facility being prepared for the launch event, all with a 30,000 Deutschmark sticker price, excluding options. Although the intention was to build 200 examples between July 1981 and September 1982, numbered transmission tunnels indicate that just 155 conversions were produced and German RS dealers were then tasked with marketing this Zakspeed-inspired, left-hand drive only “Werksturbo” based on the 3.0S, but with widened Series-X bodywork, front and rear 'Ford Motorsport' badged spoilers, and deep 7.5j four-spoke RS (Ronel) alloy wheels.

Ford Mustang GTD Prototype, 2023. Billed as the ultimate road-going version of the Mustang, a new special edition that borrows technologies from the GT3 race car. It will be powered by a purpose-developed supercharged 5.2-litre V8 that is targeting 800hp, making it the most powerful factory-produced Mustang ever. It comes with semi-active suspension and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes. Pricing will start around $300,000

Machtig    Altijd een soort van guilty pleasure geweest, zo'n bakbeestr met V6 op die alu velgen

Ja! Onze autogekke buurman had vroeger een grijsblauwe ‘2.8 Injection’, ik was als klein manneke helemaal zot van die kar.

Mijn opa heeft een Granada of drie versleten.  De laatste was een zilvergrijze V6 met dikke donkerbruine fluwelen zetels.   Mijn oma heeft die perte totale gereden, waarna er een goudkleurige Audi 80 Quattro gekomen is (op steelies met deksels, want die BBS alu-velgen, die er in de showroom onderstonden, dat was voor spelmakers)
