Capri RS3100
What is your favourite car of all time?
The Capri RS 3100 was created as a low volume homologations special for used on the track against the mighty BMWs for the 1974 season. Although adored by the motoring press, sales fell victim to the Arab-Israeli war and the earlier Launch of the new Capri II. That should not take anything away from the RS3100, it was a truly stunning and aerodynamic creation. With its FAVO styled boot-mounted duck tail spoiler, low ride level, modified spring rates and cross member, matt black quarter (and rear) bumpers, quad halogen lamps, 4 spoke AVO alloys, and body stripes, the RHD V6 Capri boasted a then creditable drag factor of just 0.375. The Essex coded engine was basically overbored to 3091cc and the ports and inlet tracts were polished resulting in 148bhp, 124mph and 0-60mph in under 8 seconds. Only 250 models were produced, making this a rare collectors car indeed.
