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."​

It's a hideous looking racecar.

SU.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Sihlouette racers are awesome, and so was Group 5.

SZBRC.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

That engine displacement though.

 

[titleguy1]

One of the only race cars I'll ever give SZ.

 

[TheCracker]

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.

 

[SVX]

Unlike other race cars this is genuinely cool in my eyes and interesting. Same goes for any other Group 5 really.

 

[ToyGTone]

Sorry guys but I had to do it...

Blame the rules...

 

[Jason115]

This SUBRC rule needs to die out quick.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Ford Capris are cool. A Ford Capri with a crappy body kit and a 4 cyl is uncool.

 

[TheCracker]

This SUBRC rule needs to die out quick.

It's not a rule. It's a fact of life.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Sub God Damn Zero, cos Capri.

 

[Adamgp]

Seriously Uncool because ugly unreliable race car.

 

[Cano]

Awesome monster.

 

[Imari]

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.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Sorry guys but I had to do it...

Blame the rules...

Rules? There are no rules... If you think it's cool, vote cool.

As it happens I went SU because it's a Ford Capri...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Cool because insane twinturbo I4 Capri.

 

[Dagger311]

Looks awful, SU.

Though it dominated on the track.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Goes back past seriously uncool. Awesomely hideous.

 

[Jahgee]

Knowing what little I know about cars, any car that makes me think of pants when I hear the name first is Seriously Uncool

 

[Joey D]

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.

 

[Epic B]

Seriously...

Cool. It looks cool.

I think this car is in pCARS. Haven't driven it though.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Love it.

SUBRC.

SZBRC
