Carrera Digital 124 Ford Capri Zakspeed Turbo " Mampe"
Item No. 23895
Even though I find it the most attractive Turbo Capri in terms of design and colors, I initially had no idea what MAMPE was. Nothing could be easier these days... just google it, and you'll usually get more information than you actually wanted. MAMPE has been producing a wide variety of alcoholic beverages for over a hundred years, but—except through racing sponsorship—it has never achieved much recognition outside of Berlin.
Half and half means that the alcoholic beverage from MAMPE consists of 160 different herbs, half of which is alcohol, and the other half of bitter oranges. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to try it sometime ;-)
Between 1977 and 1979, Mampe AG sponsored the Mampe-Ford-Zakspeed team.
Hans Heyer, driving a black and yellow Ford Capri Turbo, achieved multiple race victories and won the German Championship three times. The slot car driver's pink suit wasn't the product of a designer's idea; Hans Heyer actually drove in a pink jumpsuit... he just swapped the floppy hat for a helmet.
The 124 series car from Carrera drives well, as expected (width + length + low center of gravity, what more could you want). I have no complaints about the workmanship, the noticeable tolerances, or the paintwork. The adjustability via the control unit is good; 1-2 = full throttle in the pit lane and on the inside of Turn 1 is possible... Even with the magnets, the top corners require a certain amount of sensitivity.
