Extra Info;

By the end of the 1960s Ford was pursuing a wide-ranging global competitions programme, and with its UK operation concentrating on developing the Escort for rallying and circuit racing, Jochen Neerpasch, head of the Motorsport Department in Cologne, was delegated to start work on the racing Capri. With the initial Capri having been released in 1969, a number of successes, including class wins, were achieved in international rallies in 1969 but it was already clear that the car's greatest potential was as a circuit racer. The model known as the ‘RS2600’, based on the 2600GT which was Ford of Germany's top-of-the-range model at the time, first came out in 1970 and was heavily updated in September 1971. During the four years of production, only 3532 RS2600s were built and all were left hand drive. Featuring a new 2637cc version of the Cologne V6 built by Weslake with their aluminium heads, it became the platform for the coming success of the Motorsport Department. The revised RS2600 also featured a four speed close ratio gearbox, modified suspension, vented brake discs, lightweight body panels and aluminium wheels.

Under Group 2 regulations, the RS2600's Weslake developed V6 was allowed to be bored out to a capacity of 2,900cc and it was equipped with Kugelfischer fuel injection and dry sump lubrication. In this form it developed in excess of 330bhp. The suspension, brakes and wheels were up-rated appropriately and the bodywork lightened by the extensive use of glassfibre panels. A ZF five-speed gearbox was utilised on the Group 2 RS2600. In January 1971, the homologation document 1609 was granted to Ford by the FIA for the RS2600 LW (lightweight), detailing the weight to be just 900kg. On the track, the lightweight RS2600 achieved great success entered by Ford Köln. In 1971, Dieter Glemser won the European Touring Car Championship in an RS2600 and this title was repeated in 1972 with Jochen Mass, Toine hezemans, Jacky Stewart and many others  until 1973 the Weslake Capri was very successful.

The successor for the 1974 year was the 3100RS based (Essex) ford Capri which was developed by Cosworth especially for Ford with formula 1 technology, this engine brought the power to 460 hp at 9200 RPM to compete de BMW 3,5 CSL.
