AUTOart 80673 2006 porsche 911 996 alms diecast model carAs the rest of the 1/18 scale diecast model car hobby industry continues a steady trend toward non-existance, AUTOart and it's distributor Gateway Global keep pumping out high-quality, unique collectible releases, albeit at ever-increasing prices. Not to mention that they're almost all Limited Edition, which translates well into a healthy future for the company.

Posted on their AUTOart shopping site are even more fresh models which will be coming soon. Pictured is the 2006 Porsche 911 (996) RSR #45 American LeMans Series "Flying Lizard" as driven by Wolf Henzler (who replaced Jon Fogarty) and Johannes van Overbeek. We think this is the best-looking Porsche RSR model developed yet! It is AUTOart Diecast Model No. 80673 and should be available the same time as Stock No. 80671, the ghastly pink Zolder #21.

About

We've been nuts about diecast cars for years and the only thing better than old models is new models! We're mainly into 1:18 scale but quickly finding interest in large 1:12 and 1:16 scale, as well as superbly detailed 1:43 diecast as well as 1:10 scale motorcycles! We don't have as much time as we'd like to update the blog, but over the years we've accumulated alot of good content here and hope you'll enjoy your stay and learn more about the diecast model car collecting hobby!
