With the Zakspeed Capri Klaus Ludwig was able to win many races.
(best year 1981) and produces 580 HP (by 1,7 l - 810 kg - >300 km/h in race - cw=0.24)

For Fans of this car you might be interested, that one of these cars is still active in Historic races. In Spa the Zackspeed below (only a naturally aspirated engine with 250 HP) drove to second place close behind a BMW M1. I think we can all guess how the race would have unfolded with the original 580 HP engine!

Here are some magazine articles about the Zakspeed Capri, they are in German but I have done a translation, to the best of my abilities.

Here are some other various photos from different sources

The Shell advert reads "Behind this masquerade are some of our most important laboratory experiments"

This is a signed picture of Klaus Ludwig given to the German Capri Club Chairman in 1980 !!

As a footnote, I am always on the lookout for information for these fantastic cars. So if you have any pictures, articles ( newspaper or magazine ), technical info or the best of all a video !!! I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me at;
