About the Ford Capri Turbo Group 5 Wurth #2 K. Ludwig DRM Champion 1981 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 Ford Capri Turbo reproduces Klaus Ludwig's Wurth-liveried car from his 1981 DRM championship season, hood hinged open over the turbocharged Group 5 engine behind dramatically flared fenders. Zakspeed built this Capri for a silhouette-racing era when touring cars barely resembled their road-going namesakes.

Group 5 silhouette cars kept a road car's silhouette and little else, and the Capri Turbo pushed that idea further than most. Minichamps casts Ludwig's Wurth livery in diecast, hood hinged open over a turbocharged engine mounted inside bodywork flared wide enough to make the standard Capri underneath barely recognizable.

Minichamps' Wide-Bodied Capri in Würth Livery

Flared Arches and Turbo-Era Bodywork

The Wurth sponsor livery carries the sharp red, white, and blue graphics that marked Zakspeed's championship-winning cars, printed with clean registration across panel lines that curve dramatically outward from the stock Capri shape. Minichamps captures the extreme arch flares, front splitter, and rear wing that defined Group 5's silhouette formula, bodywork so far removed from a road Capri that only the roofline and window shapes give away the shared origin. Shut lines around the hood and doors stay consistent despite the extreme surfacing, a genuine tooling challenge on a body this aggressively modified from its production-car base.

Engine Bay Detail Behind the Opening Hood

Lifting the hood reveals the turbocharged engine Zakspeed built for sustained competition output rather than road use, with intercooler plumbing and a reinforced bay structure modeled with enough clarity to reward a close look. The doors open as well, exposing a stripped, roll-caged cabin with racing seats in place of any road-car trim, consistent with a car built purely for the DRM grid. Diecast construction gives the wide-body shell real heft once out of its tray, appropriate weight for a car this visually substantial on a shelf.

Klaus Ludwig and the Zakspeed Capri's DRM Championship

A Three-Time Champion's Winning Machine

Klaus Ludwig built one of German motorsport's most decorated careers across touring cars and endurance racing, and his time behind the wheel of Zakspeed's Capri Turbo produced DRM championship success during the early 1980s. Driving for a team that had turned turbocharging into a genuine competitive advantage, Ludwig's Wurth-liveried Capri became one of the defining images of German touring car racing in this period, a reputation that follows him into his later Le Mans-winning career.

Group 5 Silhouette Racing Explained

Group 5 regulations allowed manufacturers enormous freedom with bodywork as long as the basic silhouette traced back to a production car, which is exactly how a Capri ended up with wide racing tires hidden under fenders flared well beyond anything a factory would sell. That freedom produced some of the most visually extreme touring cars ever to race, and the DRM series built its identity around exactly these silhouette monsters through the late 1970s and into the early 1980s before regulations tightened.

Group 5 Silhouette Racing on the Shelf

A Group 5 Capri stands out on any shelf purely through its silhouette, wider and more dramatic than almost anything else in a Ford-focused collection built around road cars or conventional touring classes. Paired with other DRM-era silhouette cars, it tells the story of a brief period when touring car regulations rewarded extremity rather than restraint. At 1:18 the flared bodywork gives this Capri noticeably more footprint than a standard road Capri despite sharing the same scale, worth accounting for when planning shelf space. Collectors drawn to Klaus Ludwig's career or to the DRM's silhouette era should treat this Wurth livery as one of the more recognizable entries available in diecast.
