About the Model

Authentic DRM Race Car Styling

This kit accurately depicts the Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo as it appeared during its 1978–1979 DRM competition seasons. The low-slung nose, wide fenders, and bold race livery reflect the car’s real-world aerodynamic design and presence on the track. Its detailed proportions and stance highlight the Capri’s role as a fierce rival to the BMW 320 Turbo.

Highly Detailed Chassis and Cockpit

Tamiya engineers have faithfully recreated the interior, including a realistic cockpit layout and roll cage structure. Fine molding captures the race-spec details that defined the original car, enhancing realism straight out of the box. A driver figure is also included to complete the authentic touring car appearance.

Updated Decals and Modern Kit Enhancements

This reissued kit features high-quality Cartograf decals for sharp graphics, accurate colors, and excellent adhesion. Updated instructions improve clarity and ease of assembly, making the build more enjoyable for both returning fans and new modelers. Combined with solid rubber slick tires and aero-disc wheels, the finished model delivers a true-to-era racing look.
