20 YEARS OF CAPRI FRËNN LËTZEBUERG - A JOURNEY FULL OF PASSION


 

The story of Capri Frënn Lëtzebuerg began in 2006 – a group of enthusiasts who share a passion for the Ford Capri. Today, 20 years later, we proudly look back on two decades full of memories, adventures, and shared passion.

A lot has happened in these 20 years. Countless hours have been spent in the workshop, tightening screws, overhauling engines, and maintaining car bodies.
There were moments when a problem seemed unsolvable, and others when, after much effort, the engine finally purred again. These ups and downs brought us closer together and only strengthened our friendship and enthusiasm for the Capri.

A particular highlight of our club's work was the hosting of five International Capri Meetings.
These events have not only strengthened the cohesion within our club, but have also brought together friends from all over Europe.
We exchanged countless stories, shared experiences, and celebrated the fascination with the Ford Capri in all its diversity.

Over the past 20 years, our members have not only tinkered, repaired, and restored cars, but have also forged friendships that extend far beyond the hobby. We have learned that a passion for cars is much more than just technology—it connects people, cultures, and generations.
Today we are not only celebrating 20 years of Capri Frënn Lëtzebuerg, but also 20 years of dedication, team spirit and unforgettable memories.
We look back on successes and challenges alike, and forward to many more years in which our engines will purr, our wrenches will clang, and our passion for the Capri will live on.

Here's to the next 20 years!

Story
Ford Capri 2.8 Injection

At the top of the Capri range was the 2.8 Injection, one of the most potent representatives of the European sports coupé. It wasn't until the third generation of the nimble Ford, starting in 1981, that the 2.8-liter V6 was available – an engine that had already powered the larger Ford Granada since 1976. Its 160 hp propelled the Capri with tremendous energy, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 210 km/h! Red-bordered decals on the rear and side indicated the special status of this high-performance Capri. The power perfectly complemented the car's slightly aggressive look, with its hood subtly intersecting the four round headlights. AUTO BILD took the Ford Capri 2.8 Injection for a spin: Here's how the sporty Capri drives!

Two-tone paint, driver-focused interior

Its cockpit is also impressive. Functionally designed with a matte black instrument panel and clear instrumentation, it boasts a comprehensive range of features, including a tachometer, oil pressure gauge, and ammeter. All functions are easy to operate, such as the high-pressure headlight washers, electrically adjustable passenger-side mirror, and power steering. The interior is spacious, featuring Recaro sport seats with sporty upholstery and velour trim. Practical storage options, rear vent windows, carpeted doors, and a stereo radio with cassette player complete the package.

 

The Ford Capri 2.8i Injection

It was the most powerful variant of the legendary sports coupé and marked a high point in 1981, shortly before the model disappeared from the German market in 1984; it received the 2.8-liter V6 injection engine from the Granada, which brought it to 160 hp and enabled a top speed of 210 km/h, giving it a comeback before production ended in Great Britain in 1986.

Development and market launch

  • Predecessor: The Capri III, which appeared in 1978 with aerodynamic changes and twin headlights, was already the third generation.

  • The 2.8i: In 1981, the 2.8i with its powerful injection engine was presented at the Geneva Motor Show and revived the model series, which was actually nearing its end.

  • Performance: The 2.8-liter V6 engine produced 118 kW (160 hp) and accelerated the car to 100 km/h in approximately 8.2 seconds.

  • Top model: The 2.8i was the sporty top model of the series.
