Original Text von Amalgam:

We are thrilled to offer a special edition of 100 race weathered Porsche 917Ks at 1:18 scale, as raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970. This unique edition marks the first time that Amalgam 1:18 scale models have been weathered, with more editions planned to follow in the near future. This special collection of 100 models has been meticulously hand-painted and detailed by our master model makers to show every detail of the race dirt and damage during the race. Each model will be accompanied by an archive quality Giclée print of the car mid-race, selected by the curator at Motorsport Images.

This fine 1:8 scale model of the Porsche 917K is based on the #2 car driven to victory by Pedro Rodríguez and Leo Kinnunen, with a single stint provided by Brian Redman, at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970. On the awesome 31-degree high bankings of the Daytona Speedway, ex-Aston Martin race team manager John Wyer's Gulf-sponsored team finished 1-2 in the race, with Jo Siffert and Redman (in his actual car) taking the second podium place. The #2 lead car annihilated its rivals, breaking the distance record by 190 miles, 48 laps ahead of the #28 works Ferrari in third. It was the first race in which the iconic Porsche 917K appeared, and this victory was effectively the start of the 917K's domination of the WSC for the next two seasons.

This model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Porsche regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

The Porsche 917K Daytona 1970 Race Weathered Edition at 1:18 scale is limited to just 100 pieces.
