Carrera DIGITAL 124 Ford Capri Zakspeed Turbo 'Würth-Zakspeed-Team'
Item No.: 23858
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 230 grams
Weight (body): 70 grams
Length including spoiler: 210 mm
Wheelbase: 106 mm
Track width (front axle): 75.5 mm
Track width (rear axle): 81 mm
Chassis:
There's relatively little to report here. As is typical for large-scale models, the engine is a Sidewinder, and the lighting is provided by SMD LEDs. Also part of the chassis is the massive rear diffuser, which is partially painted.
If you are bothered by the (prototypical) not quite centered position of the front axle in the wheel arches, you can use a small round file to file out the screw holes in the front axle holder and thus move the front axle slightly backwards.
Body:
This has been discussed a lot in the form section… for some, the windshield is too small, while others are bothered by the "Decent Decade" logo. The driver's seat is also a bit spartan. Despite these details, the overall impression is still satisfactory; it's undoubtedly a successful downsizing of the Zaspeed Capri Turbo.
Driving test:
For this, I completely remove the magnets as usual, which makes the car generally quite easy to maneuver. However, the relatively high weight (for comparison: the BMW M1 Procar weighs only about 200 grams) is noticeable here. The grip of the original tires is sufficient, provided the track is sufficiently clean and you allow the tires some break-in time.
