Porsche 917K - Gulf Edition. POCHER HK118

Assembly kit of the Porsche 917K - Gulf Edition, driven by the British legend Derek Bell and the Swiss Jo Siffert in the 1,000 km of Monza in 1971.

One of the fastest cars of all time, surpassed only by a change in the world championship rules.

In 1970 motorsport rules dictated that prototype cars had to be less than 3 liters unless they built more than 25. Porsche stepped up and built 25 prototypes of the 917K with 4.5 to 5 liter engines.

For two seasons, it won race after world championship race including Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. After this, its speed was deemed "too fast" thus driving high-capacity racing cars out of endurance racing. From there he turned his gaze to the United States.

In the 1,000 km of Monza in 1971 it came in second place behind its brother Porsche 917K.

This incredible Pocher model features metal body parts, rubber tires and decals as well as assembly instructions.

The finished model measures an incredible 522mm long, with a width of 267mm. Without a doubt, the star of any collection.

Highly precise 1/8 scale kit with more than 312 pieces and more than 30 hours of assembly.
