This is the Porsche 911 GT1-98 3.2L Turbo #26 Winner 24H Le Mans 1998 in 1:12 scale by Werk 83.
The Porsche 911 GT1-98 (#26), fielded by Team Porsche AG Mobil-1 and driven by Allan McNish, Laurent Aiello, and Stéphane Ortelli, triumphed at the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans, delivering a historic victory for Porsche. McNish, a fiercely competitive Scottish driver, was making his Le Mans debut and would go on to become an endurance racing legend. Aiello, a versatile French driver, brought immense skill from touring and sports car racing, while Ortelli, a Monaco-born talent, added precision and consistency. The 1998 race was iconic as it marked Porsche’s return to the top of the podium, following a fierce battle with Toyota and Mercedes. Uniquely, this was the final Le Mans win for a Porsche prototype until 2015, and the race was remembered for its high attrition rate, intense rain-soaked periods, and the cutting-edge design of the 911 GT1-98, which blended the lines between road car and prototype with its carbon fiber chassis and twin-turbocharged 3.2L flat-six engine.
