Porsche 963 9RD 4.6L Turbo V8 #5 2024 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale
This is the Porsche 963 9RD 4.6L Turbo V8 #5 2024 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by IXO.
At the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, the No.5 Porsche 963 entered by Porsche Penske Motorsport finished 6th overall with an experienced driver lineup of Matt Campbell, Michael Christensen, and Frédéric Makowiecki. This trio combined factory Porsche precision with endurance expertise, keeping the car competitive throughout a challenging race marked by changing weather and intense Hypercar competition. The Porsche 963 stood out with its LMDh hybrid prototype design, featuring a 4.6L twin-turbo V8 paired with a standardized hybrid system, delivering both strong acceleration and energy efficiency over long stints. What made this Le Mans entry unique was its focus on balance and reliability rather than outright speed, as the team optimized hybrid deployment and durability to stay in contention, ultimately finishing just shy of the top five in one of the most competitive Hypercar fields in recent history.
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.
