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.
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.
At the end of 1970, Ford Cologne decided to build high-performance models for fun and sport itself in future and to sell them through a network of selected dealers. The first product of the Ford subsidiary AVO was the RS 2600, a 150 hp Capri for DM 16,000. In the first test, the hot-rodded Capri revealed its sporting talent - as well as an almost unquenchable thirst.
At the end of the 1960s, Swiss engineer Michael May launched a turbo kit for Ford engines that was suitable for everyday use, long before BMW, Porsche and other suppliers. First installed in the Ford 20 M RS, it soon spurred on the Capri in particular to produce more power. The magazine 'hobby' was able to test two Capri Turbo models in 1971 and was impressed by the performance that could be achieved. This article reproduces the original wording of the test at the time and shows the technology and vehicle in pictures.
Faster, sportier and tougher - the Ford Capri RS 2600 converted all those doubters who had previously denied that the Capri was a sports car. And it was also reasonably priced, especially compared to a Porsche 911, which it was on a par with in terms of performance. At least that's what Auto Revue reported after its test drives. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and shows the car in historical photos and the original sales brochure.
Ford took the American youth by storm with the Mustang in April 1964. At the beginning of 1969, it was Europe's turn to be delighted by Ford with a stylish everyday sports car for the whole family. The Capri combined reliable mass-produced technology with an incredibly attractive coupé body and became a global success. Our driving report tells the story of the Mini-Mustang once again and shows it in many contemporary and current pictures.
