Description

In the early days of motorsport, racing cars were still transported under their own steam to races in Le Mans and Monza or the Targa Florio or the Mille Miglia. However, the increasing professionalism of motorsport in the 1950s and the growing amount of needed equipment led the racing teams of the day to start using transport vehicles. In the mid-60s, Porsche came up with the idea for two transport vehicles specially designed to meet the requirements of motorsport and able to transport the additionally required engines, gearboxes and chassis parts. The technical basis for the new Porsche racing transporter was the Mercedes-Benz O317 underfloor-engine bus, produced between 1957 and 1972. Its self-supporting design was ideal for the complex conversion by the Stuttgart-based company Robert Schenk.

Warning! The collector model is not suitable for children under the age of 14 years; it contains small parts.
