Carrrera DIGITAL 132 Ford Capri RS 3100 Race 4
(Art.No. 30683)
Now in the lineup for five years, the Ford Capri RS 3100 can almost be described as a perennial favorite. Due to a lack of alternative original designs, another imaginative variant has appeared, which, however, is considerably more appealing than the somewhat flashy tuner versions. Bright yellow, a matte black hood, and orange-red decorative stripes – this car could have rolled around the racetrack in the 70s and would have fit in perfectly. The "Motor77" lettering on the hood, however, clearly indicates that this 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 siblings. I'll probably never get used to the independently suspended front wheels; as is often the case, they turn quite stiffly on this test model, somewhat slowing down the car's forward momentum. The handling feels a bit jerky as a result. Apart from that, the E200 engine provides a good top speed, and the cornering limits are also wide. At least when I choose my preferred setup: rear magnet out, center magnet in.
To prevent the lights from shining through, the body is generously painted black on the inside at the front and rear, which proves to be an effective measure.
Conclusion: an existing set of shapes was used sensibly; only at second glance does one notice that it is a modern retro design.
