This is the 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Dark Green/Dark Grey in 1:18 scale by MCG.
The 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo marked a pivotal moment in Porsche’s history by bringing forced-induction performance to an entry-level 911-sized sports car, offering spirited acceleration and excellent balance without the premium price of its six-cylinder siblings. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four delivered significantly more power than the naturally aspirated base 924, while the car’s near-ideal weight distribution and precise steering gave it engaging handling that few rivals in its class could match. What set the 924 Turbo apart from much of its competition was its combination of accessible turbo performance, Porsche-tuned chassis dynamics, and everyday usability—making it a compelling alternative to more expensive sports cars at the time and broadening Porsche’s appeal to a new generation of drivers.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
