The RS3100 Capri was originally introduced by Ford to compete with the BMW CSL in the ETCC. With the engine stretched to 3.4L, the GAA is capable of producing around 450bhp and weighs just over 1000kgs. With wider track, wheels and tyres than the RS2600 at 12 in front and 15 in rear the Cologne Capri is the car to beat from the early 1970's ETCC. The Ford Works cars were driven by some of the great F1 drivers of the day including Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart and Jochen Mass.
