Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 #4 1982 DRM L. Reisenbichler in 1:18 scale
This is the Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 #4 1982 DRM L. Reisenbichler in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Ford Capri Turbo Group 5 #4, driven by Lothar Reisenbichler in the 1982 DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft), was part of an era known for extreme aerodynamics and high-powered turbocharged machines. Reisenbichler, a privateer driver, competed against factory-backed teams from Porsche and BMW, making his efforts particularly commendable. The 1982 DRM season was one of the last before the series transitioned into a new format, making it a historic period for Group 5 racing. The Ford Capri Turbo, with its aggressive wide-body design and potent turbocharged engine, was a formidable competitor, especially on high-speed circuits. The Zolder round in particular tested both driver skill and mechanical reliability, with Reisenbichler showcasing determination despite the stiff competition. His participation reflected the spirit of DRM’s golden era, where privateers could still challenge the dominance of major manufacturers.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
