This is the Porsche 911 GT1-98 3.2L Turrbo #25 2nd 24H Le Mans 1998 in 1:18 scale by Werk 83.
The Porsche 911 GT1-98, powered by a 3.2L turbo engine and entered as car #25 by Team Porsche AG Mobil-1, finished second at the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans. Driven by Uwe Alzen, Jörg Müller, and the experienced endurance racer Bob Wollek, the trio showcased remarkable consistency and speed throughout the race. The 1998 Le Mans season was notable for being one of the last where GT1 cars competed alongside prototype-class cars, leading to a fierce battle between manufacturers like Porsche, Toyota, and Mercedes. Porsche’s strategy of running two nearly identical cars (#25 and #26) paid off, as both finished on the podium, demonstrating the reliability and performance of the 911 GT1-98. While car #25 narrowly missed the victory, the efforts of Alzen, Müller, and Wollek contributed to Porsche's historic 1-2 finish, reinforcing the brand’s endurance racing legacy.
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.
