Porsche 935/78 3.2L Turbo Moby Dick #40 DRM Norisring 1978 Jacky Ickx in 1:12 scale
This is the Porsche 935/78 3.2L Turbo Moby Dick #40 DRM Norisring 1978 Jacky Ickx in 1:12 scale by CMR.
The Porsche 935/78 "Moby Dick" was one of the most extreme iterations of Porsche's dominant 935 series, featuring a 3.2L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine capable of producing over 800 horsepower. Driven by the legendary Jacky Ickx for Team Martini Racing Porsche System, the car competed in the 1978 DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft) race at Norisring, a street circuit in Nuremberg, Germany, known for its fast straights and tight hairpins. What made this race unique was its high-speed urban setting, which tested both driver precision and machine durability under intense braking and acceleration. The Moby Dick’s elongated, aerodynamic bodywork and massive rear wing were designed for top-speed endurance racing, making it a rare sight on shorter sprint tracks like Norisring. Despite its Le Mans-focused design, the 935/78 remained a fan favorite, with Ickx showcasing his masterful driving skills in this high-profile German racing event.
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.
