Tamiya 58590 - Zakspeed Jagermeister Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 TT-02 Race Kit  [58590]

A faithful RC remake of the Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5

The Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 is celebrated for its low, aerodynamic profile and striking livery. Driven by Klaus Ludwig to a notable second place at the 1982 German Racing Championship in Salzburg, this car is now captured in 1/10 scale by Tamiya and mounted on the adaptable TT-02 chassis for a realistic RC driving feel.

TT-02 chassis fundamentals and handling

The TT-02 platform is popular for its straightforward assembly and competitive on-road performance. It improves cornering and speed relative to earlier TT-series designs and accommodates a range of electronics. The shaft-driven 4WD layout delivers steady traction and predictable handling for newcomers and experienced racers alike. The chassis also accepts many Hop-Up Options to tailor performance.

Bodywork and race-inspired detailing

This kit includes a polycarbonate body that mirrors the original Capri shape and its Jagermeister graphics. Brake disc-shaped wheel hubs add realism while the fully independent double wishbone suspension helps control chassis motion. The longitudinal motor and battery placement supports balanced weight distribution, and the TT-02 offers adjustable camber, toe, ride height and gear ratio options for tuning.

The Tamiya 58590 Zakspeed Jagermeister Ford Capri Turbo Gr.5 TT-02 Kit appeals to fans of historic touring cars who want a buildable, tuneable model. It balances ease of assembly with options for upgrades, making it a solid choice for a wide range of RC hobbyists.
