    This is the Porsche 956LH 2.6L Twin Turbo #1 Winner 1982 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by WERK83.At the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans, the #1 Porsche 956LH, driven by Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell for the Rothmans Porsche team, achieved a landmark victory. This race marked the debut of the revolutionary Porsche 956, which featured an aluminum monocoque chassis and ground-effect aerodynamics, setting new standards in endurance racing. Ickx and Bell secured pole position with a time of 3:28.4 and led the race from midnight onwards, ultimately finishing three laps ahead of their teammates in the #2 car. The win was particularly significant as it was the 50th running of Le Mans and the first under the new Group C regulations, which emphasized fuel efficiency. Despite concerns about fuel consumption, the #1 Porsche also claimed the Energy Efficiency prize, highlighting its superior engineering. This victory marked Ickx’s record sixth Le Mans win and Bell’s third, solidifying their status as endurance racing legends.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.
