Carrrera DIGITAL 132 Ford Capri RS 3100 Race 4
(Art.Nr. 30683)
Now in the range for 5 years, the Ford Capri RS 3100 can almost be described as a perennial favorite. Due to a lack of alternatives in terms of original designs, another fantasy version is now available, but this is much more appealing than the somewhat brash tuner versions. Bright yellow, a matt black hood and orange-red trim strips - this is how the car could have rolled around the racetrack in the 70s and would have fitted in perfectly. However, the "Motor77" lettering on the hood clearly shows that it must be a modern design, as the magazine of the same name has only been published under this name since 2013.
Technically, everything remains the same, the Capri has the same chassis as all its previously released brothers. I will probably never be able to get used to the individually suspended front wheels again; as is so often the case, they turn quite sluggishly in this test model and therefore slow down the forward momentum somewhat. The handling therefore feels a little choppy, but apart from that, the E200 engine provides a good top speed and the limit range is also wide when cornering. At least when I choose my preferred setup: Rear magnet out, center magnet stays in.
To prevent the lighting from shining through, the bodywork is generously painted black inside at the front and rear, which proves to be an effective measure.
Conclusion: An existing set of shapes was used sensibly, you only notice at second glance that it is a modern retro design.
