Yep, that’s right, the choice of a stonking great V8 under that iconic bonnet. Well, this Capri V8 certainly bridges that gap.

These were followed by Ford’s 2.0-litre Essex V4 (with 93bhp) and the range-topping 138bhp 3.0-litre Essex V6, both of which made the Capri capable of speeds in excess of 100mph. Ford entered the MkI Capri into the European Touring Car Championship in 1974, spawning its final, and fastest, iteration; the RS3100.
