This is the Porsche 956L Turbo #7 Winner 1984 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.

At the 1984 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Porsche 956L Turbo #7 entered by Team Newman/Joest Racing scored a famous overall victory with its driver lineup of Klaus Ludwig (GER), Henri Pescarolo (FRA), and Stefan Johansson (SWE) — a trio blending blistering speed, strategic endurance judgment, and adaptable traffic management. Ludwig was already a sportscar legend with an unmatched ability to extract maximum performance, Pescarolo brought unmatched Le Mans experience and smooth consistency over long stints, and Johansson added raw pace developed through Formula 1 and prototype racing. What set the 1984 Le Mans apart from many other races was the revolutionary Porsche 956 itself — a ground-breaking turbocharged Group C prototype with advanced aerodynamics and efficiency — as well as the brutal challenge of the Circuit de la Sarthe’s 24-hour marathon, where teams must negotiate high-speed straights, night driving, heavy multi-class traffic, and mechanical attrition in a way few other motorsport events demand. This combination of cutting-edge technology and extreme endurance made the 1984 race one of the classic chapters in Le Mans history.
