Canon Porsche 956 Le Mans race car

HPI's latest group of hyper-detailed 1:43 scale die-cast model cars features the world-beating Porsche 956 Le Mans race car in accurate racing livery and colors for discerning model car collectors! This version is the #14 car driven by Jonathan Palmer, James Weaver and Richard Lloyd. Classic bright red and white Canon livery make this car stand out from the crowd.

These precision cast models are 1:43 scale, a convenient size (approximately 10 x 4 x 3cm) for any desk or display case. Each Porsche 956 version comes in a crystal clear acrylic case with black base so you can easily stack the cases if you wish. All versions have a removable engine cover so you can display the car whole, or show off the fine engine detail!

Incredible attention has been paid to make the cars as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior details like radiators, disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust, headlight buckets, mirrors, tow hooks and radio antennae combine to make the models extremely realistic. The paint and even the sponsor logos are color-matched for exact scale representation. Each car has a fully painted and detailed interior, complete with a roll cage, racing seat, fire extinguisher, steering wheel, and dashboard. Engine detail includes the full cylinder block, exhaust system, turbos, radiators, oil coolers and more!

HPI uses the drawings and plans from the manufacturer to accurately reproduce what we feel are the finest 1:43 scale die-cast models available. Look at one close up and you'll agree! Remember: All of these fantastic recreations are made in limited quantities, once gone they will never be available again.
