1974 Ford Capri RS 3100 Group 2 Car: Warm Up & Cosworth GAA V6 Sound in action!

[@Jimmy_Watt]

Unpopular opinion: this Ford Capri we didn't get in the states is a better looking car than any Mustang ever.

[@FirstOnRaceDayCapri2904]

One of the best engines Cosworth made, a bored out 3.0 Ford Essex V6 engine to 3412cc, DOHC 24v, Lucas Fuel Injection, makes 462hp at 9000rpm and 300 lb/ft of torque, naturally aspirated. I believe Ric Wood Motorsports have even built a 4.0L one that makes more than 500hp and near 350lb/ft -ish torque.

[@SssagaBenches4U]

Amazing this outputs that much torque and power in NA state.

[@FirstOnRaceDayCapri2904]

@@SssagaBenches4U Exactly, and an engine that was made in 1972

[@Generalkenobi325]

I Love the fact that there’s no fancy trickery or turbos with these engines just pure power made by some incredible engineering and one of the best sounds to ever hit the racetrack. And despite them being around 50 years old I bet even today they would give some modern track cars a run for there money!

[@tiptop8584]

What beautiful race cars! I bought a new '74 V6 Capri 4 speed back in the day, $4,000 new. Drove it for 13 years. One of the most dependable cars I ever owned. I had suspension done with 15 inch enki wheels. Love these modified Capri s n fenders. Nice watching this!

[@carlob517]

Ford England should have brought out a limited edition road version of the Capri with that 3.4 litre Cosworth engine

[@shirleyboy8859]

There was the Broadspeed Capri. My friend had one... it was too much for him!!! it was a BEAST.... :-)))

Always loved these cars. Anything from a I4 to a small V8 would fit. Properly tuned, they could out-corner and outrun a lot more expensive vehicles.

[@lucasmarin1938]

Best sound!👾☱♫♪🏁🏁🏁

[@Skydrag.V60]

The Essex V6 and Busso V6 are probably the best sounding V6s out there

[@johnburns3390]

What was the DFV putting out in 74?. You would think this engine would have a bit more longevity built in. Obviously f1 car would have better aerodynamics and suspension, but be interesting to see a competitive lap from each 😂. Sound bloody awesome as well!!

[@19Bozzy92]

Almost the same power output, if I saw correctly some specs of the McLaren M23 and Brabham BT44 of the same year of the Capri. I noticed that the Cosworth GAA was used successfully on some F5000 cars in the European championship, for example by March. Their 75A F5000 was basically a March 751 F1 car but with the minor modifications to fit the GAA V6, so if both F1 and the European F5000 championship competed on any same track in those years, we may have some comparisons on their lap times if they're still available somewhere on the Internet...

[@johnburns3390]

@@19Bozzy92 thanks for reply bozzy, I might have a look and see if they were available. Maybe somewhere like Watkins Glen?

Judging by its sound, this thing eats competitors for breakfast! I got instant chills when the first full throttle shot was running..

[@scottmclennan6114]

I remember seeing lots of these back in the day but one of these stuck out. I saw one in Ballarat back in the early 80s. It was red, a V6 with dragway mags and a blower sticking out of the bonnet. The bloke sat at the lights, car rocking from the cam and when it went green he friggin floored it and it sounded sweet. I always wondered what one would be like with a 289 in it.

[@johndavis4006]

The only mention to Group 2 that I’ve seen. I was beginning to think it was my imagination and that the Group 2 series never existed.

[@johnleonard8311]

These sound and I believe drive better than the Cologne Westlake cars that Fitzpatrick, Andretti, and others drove early on to beat Porsche.

[@jawa350panelka2]

Die Motoren von Harry Weslake waren ja auch nur auf 2,9 Liter aufgebohrte Cologne 2,6 Liter Motoren ohne 24 Ventil Zylinder Köpfe die 340 PS leisteten. Die GAA Motoren von Cosworth basierten auf den 3.0 Essex Motor, waren auf 3,4 Liter erweitert und lieferten mit den damalig verfügbaren Materialien 415 PS ab. Trotzdem waren die Weslake Cologne Motoren nicht viel schlechter, auch nicht vom Klang her. Cosworth baute diese Motoren erst später als Weslake.
