In the spring of 1968, the German branch of the famous vermouth label placed its trademark on the flank of a Porsche 906 belonging to the German DG team. The team quickly acquired a 910 that had been raced by the Porsche factory the year prior. The cost of sponsoring the DG team for a season? An absurdly small 1,500 German marks -- a small amount even in 1968! Hans-Dieter Dechent and Robert F. Huhn, both of Germany, were entered to drive the Porsche 910 for the Monza 1000km and the Targa Florio races before the 1000km Nurburgring race on May 19, 1968. The very pretty silver Porsche 910, sponsored by Martini and Lufthansa Airlines, was well placed on the grid in 15th position overall. (The competition included the bigger, faster Porsche factory 907 and 908 models and numerous Ford GT40s.) The team, operating on a shoestring, struggled through the season, but the beautiful silver cars were unforgettable! Small Displacement, Big Success The standard 2-liter Porsche 910 Coupe was first seen at Daytona in 1967 where it finished 4th behind three 4-liter Ferraris! At Sebring it finished 3rd and 4th behind the 7-liter Ford GT40s! Third at Monza and fifth at the 1000km Spa, the amazing Porsche 910s had done extremely well against cars with 2 and 3 times their displacement. Porsche was out for overall victory, and the marvelous little 910 brought the German automaker closer than it had ever been before! Superlative detail and finish Recreated from a digital master consisting of over 4,000 3D reference points, every aspect of the Porsche 910 is precisely and faithfully recreated, accurate to within .006"! New technologies have been employed, breaking new ground in the die-cast world. Each Porsche 910 replica features a die-cast zinc metal body, tub and belly pan with full opening parts including removable roof panel. This wonderful new replica is suspended on a functional sport-tuned suspension and active steering. Rubber-like Dunlop tires with genuine tread pattern adorn simulated magnesium Fuchs wheels. The interior is simple, like the real Porsche 910, but as carefully replicated as any other feature of this lovely racer. The doors open in true-to-the-original butterfly motion to reveal simulated fiberglass seat shells with suede-like covering. The miniature 2-literflat-6 Porsche engine is fully wired and plumbed, using new materials for the six tiny fuel lines. Raw fiberglass-like parts including intake trumpets add to the realism that will make you think you can feel the heat rise off this hot little number!
