This is the Porsche 917K 4.5L #20 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by Werk 83.

In the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Porsche 917K 4.5L #20, driven by the legendary duo of Steve McQueen and David Piper, played a prominent role in one of the most iconic races in motorsport history. The 1970 race was unique not only for its intense competition but also because it was famously featured in McQueen's film "Le Mans," which brought unprecedented cinematic attention to the event. The Porsche 917K, known for its exceptional speed and engineering, battled treacherous weather conditions, including heavy rain and fog, which added to the drama and difficulty of the race. Although the #20 car did not win, its participation and the overall dominance of the 917 models in the race underscored Porsche's engineering excellence and cemented the 1970 Le Mans as a legendary chapter in racing history.
