Capri 2.8 Injection
What is your favourite car of all time?
The swansong of the Capri's history, the 2.8 injection, did much to revive the fortunes of the ageing Capri, and was a sensation at its launch in 1981, adding years onto the life of the genre. The 3-litre Essex plant was dropped in favour of the aggressive Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injected Cologne V6, and handling improved by a taughter suspension and lower ride height resulting in a package far more refined than any yet presented, and all at the lean starting price of £7995. The 2.8i could reach 60mph in under 8seconds and achieved 130mph. This feisty performance with luxuries such as Recaro seats, unique perpperpot alloys, tilting/sliding sunroof, power steering, tinted glass and opening rear quarter windows ensure this model a cult status, going down in history as a true drivers car and a high point in Ford's sporting model range.
