Carrera DIGITAL 132 Ford Capri Zakspeed Turbo
Item No.: 20030816
Following the Würth version, the second design variant of the “Liqui Moly Equipe” is now being delivered, colloquially also often referred to as “Nigrin-Capri”.
The original model was driven by Manfred Winkelhock in the 1981 season of the German Racing Championship (DRM). The car's front spoiler typically featured a large "Nigrin" logo; two competitors have already produced corresponding slot models in this format.
However, for the race at the Norisring, the design was modified – the classic Carrera logo is clearly visible on the front spoiler, the roof, and the rear quarter panels. Fürth and Nuremberg were still Carrera territory at the time, and so the company management at the time decided on this unique sponsorship of the "home race." A pleasant side effect: large-format images of the original car were also used for promotional purposes in the 1981/82 main catalog. Thirty-five years later, the circle has come full circle.
Technically, the model is, of course, identical to the first version, but this time the tires have noticeably more grip. While the Würth version with partial magnetization was a real rear-end slingshot, this model with the same setup is now much more comfortable and easier to drive.
