How to build a dream car? Nothing easier than that, Ford thinks in the mid-1960s. Reliable large-scale production technology, packaged in a sporty body, and all that at fair rates: The Ford Capri, the German cousin of the Ford Mustang, is ready.
The Capri was a real thrill, from 1968 to 1986. No matter if with the weak 1300 engine (55 hp) from the Taunus or as Capri RS 2600 with Kugelfischer-injection and 150 hp. Mercury even sold the Capri very successfully in the USA. Today, the rare Capri Turbo is the most sought-after classic car.
About Ford Capri
The Ford Capri is a true icon of automotive design and engineering. From the moment it hit the roads in 1969, this stunningly sleek sports car captured the hearts and minds of drivers around the world.
At its core, the Ford Capri is a symbol of freedom, adventure and pure motoring pleasure. Its bold lines and muscular curves evoke images of open roads stretching out towards distant horizons, with nothing but blue skies and treacherous twists and turns to conquer.
It's hard to put into words just how passionate I am about the Ford Capri. For me, this is not just a mode of transportation - it's an extension of my very being. Every time I sit behind the wheel of my Capri, I feel invigorated by its raw power and unbridled energy.
From its snarling engine to its agile handling, every aspect of this car screams excitement. It's no wonder that so many young men dreamed of owning one back in the '60s and '70s - this was more than just a car - it was their ticket to freedom.
The Ford Capri may have been designed for driving enthusiasts, but it also had widespread appeal thanks to its affordability compared with other sports cars on the market at that time. This made it accessible to people from all walks of life who wanted a taste of high-performance driving without breaking the bank.
For me personally, though, there is so much more to the Capri than simply being affordable or fast. It represents an era when things were simpler; when getting behind the wheel meant entering into a world where speed limits ceased to exist; where adventure awaited around every corner.
The Ford Capri will always hold a special place in my heart as one of my ultimate dreams come true - owning one brings me immense joy each time I drive it down winding country lanes or cruise along busy city streets. To me, there is simply no other car that matches the passion and excitement of the iconic Ford Capri.
