At the end of the sixties, the Ford Capri was the family coupé to beat. Fiat competed against it with the 124 Coupé, but even with the most powerful variant it had to overcome a deficit in cylinders and displacement. In practice, however, two fewer cylinders and a 700 cm3 smaller displacement had much less of an impact than expected. Thanks to its modern design, the Fiat was also aimed at real sports car fans. This faithful reproduction of the historical test report in the magazine 'hobby' compares the Ford Capri 2300 XLR and Fiat 124 Coupé 1600 in their most powerful variants, supplemented by plenty of historical images.
