Zakspeed Capri RS2800 Turbo, 1982. One of 155 Capri models prepared under Ford's Motorsport Performance Vehicles Program by Erich Zakowski sold recently by Silverstone Auctions for £64,688. The car had only 2 owners from new and has travelled 32,000 miles. The original plan was to build a special edition of 200 cars. The engine was based on a normally- aspirated, carburettor-equipped, 2.8-litre Cologne V6, Ford Granada (Europe) engine using electronic ignition, a Tuftrided crankshaft, heavy-duty head gaskets, HD oil pump, oil cooler, an RS exhaust, and a single Garrett T4 turbocharger providing 5.4 psi of boost resulting in 188bhp at 5500rpm. The cars came with widened Series-X bodywork, front and rear 'Ford Motorsport' badged spoilers, 7.5j four-spoke RS (Ronel) alloy wheels and were offered for 30,000 Deutschmarks (€15,000).
