Porsche 911 GT1-98 3.2L Turbo #6 FIA GT Championship Silverstone 1998 in 1:18 scale
This is the Porsche 911 GT1-98 3.2L Turbo #6 FIA GT Championship Silverstone 1998 in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Porsche 911 GT1-98 #6, fielded by Zakspeed Racing and driven by Michael Bartels, competed in the 1998 FIA GT Championship at Silverstone, a race that highlighted the fierce battle between Porsche, Mercedes, and other top endurance racing teams. Unlike the factory-backed Porsche efforts at Le Mans, the Zakspeed entry faced stiff competition from the dominant Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, which was the class of the field that season. Despite its advanced aerodynamics and powerful 3.2L twin-turbo flat-six, the Porsche struggled against Mercedes’ superior pace in the championship. However, the race at Silverstone was notable for unpredictable weather conditions and intense on-track duels, making it a challenging and exciting round in the 1998 GT season.
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.
