Additional Info: "Often referred to as the "Ultimate Capri", this car was part of Division 2 of the Group 5 category. The car was insanely fast but it was also unreliable, as, despite starting on pole in it's first race at Hockenheim, it retired due to an engine failure. Reliability issues plagued the Capri until it was finally able to win the Season finale at the Nurburgring. The Zakspeed Capri is one of the most recognizable of the Group 5 cars."​

My all time favourite car of all time. Awesome looking, fire-spitting beast of a car. Dominant in late 70's, early 80's DRM.

SUBRC. :irked:
 
It's awesome, but it has a freaking balcony at each corner. It looks like a Capri with one of those home-made widebody kits that everyone makes fun of.
 
Knowing what little I know about cars, any car that makes me think of pants when I hear the name first is Seriously Uncool
 
Silhouette race cars are some of my favorites and I always thought this era of racing was pretty exciting, however being a race car it's an automatic SU.
