(1967 - 1970)
Car articles about Ford (D) 15m RS by year
The magazine 'hobby' compared two completely different saloons in 1968, the Renault 16 TS from France and the Ford 17 M RS from Germany. While the Renault was made sporty with classic and careful tuning, the Ford was a modular car, but also one that had it all. This article reproduces the original wording of the comparison test at the time and shows the two very different vehicles and their counterparts in many archive photos.
The choice of mid-range vehicles in Germany at the beginning of the 1970s was diverse. Front or rear-wheel drive, front or rear engine, water cooling or air cooling were on offer, as were two or four doors. In a 1970 comparison, the Ford 15 M had to compete against the Audi 60, Peugeot 304 and VW 1600. The comparison test report of the time shows who came out on top and who was judged best by the test drivers.
When the then still unknown Walter Röhrl set the fastest times in a Ford Capri RS 2600 at the 1972 Olympic Rally, the organizers believed it was a measurement error. Röhrl drove a Ford from the tuning company Kleint R.S. in his first rally season. One of the rare sister cars has survived and is now being restored by trainees with a difficult social background in the same way as Röhrl's car at the Olympic Rally. This article reports on the restoration project and the history of this very special Capri.
