Historical Significance

The Porsche 917K was a game-changer in the racing world, built at great expense to qualify for ‘sports car’ status and sidestep the 3.0-litre prototype limit. This audacious concept resulted in the 4.5 – 5 litre 917, the largest capacity air-cooled race car ever. It quickly outclassed its rivals, securing numerous world championship victories, including back-to-back wins at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.

In its prime, the 917K’s dominance led to a rule change, as its unparalleled speed of over 240 mph was deemed too fast for endurance racing. The car then conquered American circuits in its turbocharged form, further cementing its legacy as one of the greatest racing cars of all time.

    Understanding Scale

    The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.

    Model Cars:

    • 1:12 scale: ~38 cm or 15 inches
    • 1:18 scale: ~25 cm or 10 inches
    • 1:24 scale: ~18 cm or 7 inches
    • 1:43 scale: ~10 cm or 4 inches
