Something I'd never seen before.

From Google:
''In between the two came the Mk II which was actually little different from the Mk III we're looking at, as the development of the car took less than a year. Its roots lay in a concept shown at the 1976 Geneva motor show called the Modular Aerodynamic, which looked like a cross between a Mk II Capri and a Vauxhall Droop Snoot. The following April a development programme began using the name Carla and in March 1978 the outcome was unveiled at the Geneva show - the Mk III Capri.''
''The Capri Mk III was referred to internally as "Project Carla", and although little more than a substantial update of the Capri II, it was often referred to as the Mk III. The first cars were available in March 1978, but failed to halt a terminal decline in sales. The concept of a heavily facelifted Capri II was shown at the 1976 Geneva show: a Capri II with a front very similar to the Escort RS2000 (with four headlamps and black slatted grille), and with a rear spoiler, essentially previewed the model some time before launch. The Mk III featured improved aerodynamics, leading to improved performance and economy over the Mk II and the trademark quad headlamps were introduced.''



This one looks awesome though.

And some other Mk2 Capri concepts.

The Capri with the RS20k front end looks very nice.
Also if you've got the entire article, I can have a go at translating it into English. Ich lerne deutsch ;)

I rekon the rs2000 one looks better than the escort version.

Thanks for the offer Scott, but its just a few pics and info I found over on RetroRides, so that's all I had.
 
I like the front end in that top pic though, its suits the car well. Needs more lows and different wheels, kinda like in the artist sketch, that thing looks excellent.
