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.
In the 1960s, people in Germany still had to choose between driving culture and capacity. Saloons offered little storage space, estate cars were utility vehicles. Always? No! Because even back then, a German manufacturer had a station wagon with a six-cylinder engine in its range. With up to 108 hp from 2.3 liters, the Ford 20M Turnier had a superior engine and was as comfortable as the sedan. This short historical test weighs up the pros and cons.
With the model change from the 12M to the Taunus, Ford also changed its principles. Away with false modesty. From now on, you can show what you've got - and even a little more. While the splendid new shape met with harsh criticism from the trade press, it was well received by the public. It was this that made the Ford Taunus TC a sales success despite teething troubles and design weaknesses. As the opulent 2300 GLX, the Taunus suddenly made even far more expensive cars look cheap.
