The Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 is famed for its aerodynamic stance and race pedigree. Klaus Ludwig drove the original to second place at the 1982 German Racing Championship in Salzburg, a moment captured here by Tamiya in detailed 1/10 scale on the TT-02 chassis for accurate on-road characteristics.
The TT-02 is valued for easy construction and competent track performance. It improves handling versus earlier TT models and is suitable for modern electronics. A shaft-driven 4WD configuration delivers secure traction and straightforward handling for a broad range of skill levels. The chassis also accepts Hop-Up Options for those wanting to refine performance.
The model includes a polycarbonate body that reflects the Capri shape and Jagermeister scheme. Details such as brake disc-shaped hubs and a fully independent double wishbone suspension contribute to realistic behaviour. With motor and battery mounted lengthwise, the chassis allows adjustments to camber, toe, ride height and gearing to personalise handling.
The Tamiya 58590 Zakspeed Jagermeister Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 TT-02 Kit is ideal for modellers who want a historically faithful build with room to upgrade. Its balance of realism and tunability makes it a reliable choice for on-road enthusiasts.
