Ford England Carpi Turbo Gr.5 #52 1979 DRM in 1:18 scale
This is the Ford England Carpi Turbo Gr.5 #52 1979 DRM in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Ford Capri Turbo Group 5, entered by Team Sachs with car No. 52, was driven by Herald Ertl in the 1979 Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM) season. Ertl, a talented German driver, was known for his aggressive yet controlled racing style. The 1979 DRM season was a pivotal moment in Group 5 racing, as manufacturers pushed the limits of car design and performance with highly modified vehicles. The Capri Turbo, equipped with a turbocharged engine and aggressive aerodynamics, was one of the standout cars in the field, challenging more established teams like Porsche and BMW. The race season itself was marked by fierce competition, and Ertl’s performance in the Capri highlighted both his skill and the potential of the turbocharged Ford, making the 1979 DRM a memorable chapter in the history of German motorsport.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
