About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 Green & Black Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 Ford Capri Mk1 RS2600 in Green and Black is a diecast replica of the homologation coupe built to give Ford a genuine edge in European touring car racing. This bold green over black scheme is one of two colour options offered for the model, each with its own visual character.

Ford built the RS2600 specifically to homologate a competitive Capri for European touring car racing, and the road going version carried that racing intent into a genuinely quick, purposeful coupe.

Diecast Weight on a Homologation Coupe

The RS2600's long bonnet and shark nose front end give diecast plenty of surfacing to hold cleanly, and metal construction lends real heft that suits a car built with genuine motorsport intent rather than showroom styling alone. This Green over Black scheme contrasts sharply, the vivid body colour set against a black roof and lower trim, and under direct light the two tone split shows crisp, well defined edges rather than a blurred transition. Opening doors and bonnet reveal the cabin and engine bay, and checking the shut lines along the black roof panel is a sensible quality check on arrival, since a two tone scheme makes any gap inconsistency more visible than a single colour would.

Choosing Between Two Capri RS2600 Liveries

Minichamps offers this RS2600 in both Green over Black and Red over Black, and the choice comes down to which colour statement suits a collector's existing shelf rather than any difference in build quality. Green over Black leans quieter and more period correct to certain European market cars, while the red alternative reads louder on a shelf. At 1:18, the Capri's long coupe proportions fit well into a European performance coupe theme, and diecast construction tolerates handling without much risk. Displayed alongside its red counterpart or another 1970s European touring coupe, this Green RS2600 demonstrates how much a colour choice alone can change a car's shelf character.
