Aston Martin Tickford and Ford have produced this aerodynamically designed supercar, the Tickford Capri. It is an exciting 225km/h (140 mph version of the Ford Capri 2.8 i with restyled bodywork, leather upholstery, leather and walnut dashboard and electrically-operated windows and exterior mirrors. Suspension and brakes have been extensively modified and the wind tunnel-tested restyling includes a deep spoiler at the front with a new bumper, flared pods on either side of the car, and a large rear spoiler to give significant downforce to aid stability at high speed.
