Porsche 956 KH #8 1000km 1983 Silverstone in 1:18 scale
This is the Porsche 956 KH #8 1000km 1983 Silverstone in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
At the 1983 1000 Kilometers of Silverstone, the No.8 Porsche 956 entered by Sorga SA was driven by Bob Wollek and Stefan Johansson, two of the fastest and most respected sports car drivers of the era. Wollek was renowned for his endurance-racing expertise and consistency, while Johansson would later become a Formula 1 driver and Le Mans contender. What set the Porsche 956 apart from other race cars was its revolutionary ground-effect aerodynamics, which generated enormous downforce with relatively little drag, allowing incredible cornering speeds while maintaining exceptional straight-line performance. Powered by a turbocharged flat-six engine and built around a lightweight aluminum monocoque chassis, the 956 became one of the most dominant and technologically advanced endurance racers ever produced, redefining sports prototype racing throughout the 1980s.
Werk83 1:18 scale diecast models are highly detailed collector pieces. Known for their precise proportions, accurate sponsor liveries, and finely replicated interiors and engines, Werk83 aims to capture the raw spirit of motorsport machines. These models are made of diecast metal with authentic tampo-printed graphics, realistic wheels and tires, detailed cockpits with roll cages and racing seats, and opening parts on select releases.
