About the Porsche 911 930 Almeras Biturbo 3.3 Silver Kess 1:18

TL;DR: Kess's 1:18 resin Porsche 930 Almeras Biturbo 3.3 in Silver reproduces a rare tuning-house variant of the classic 911 Turbo, built by the French Alméras brothers. Sealed resin construction suits this kind of low-volume subject, where a mainstream diecast producer would likely never invest tooling.

Some 911 variants are famous enough to appear in every manufacturer's catalogue, and others exist only because a specialist reproducer like Kess decided the subject deserved attention.

Resin Craftsmanship for a Niche Subject

A car this obscure rarely justifies the tooling cost of diecast production, which is exactly the gap small-batch resin specialists like Kess exist to fill. The sealed body means no opening doors, but it also means the 930's already distinctive whale-tail rear and flared arches, reworked further under the Biturbo conversion, hold sharper, more consistent lines than a hinge-tolerant alternative could manage. Silver paint reveals metallic flake clearly under direct light, and the resin's lighter weight in hand is the honest trade for that surface precision.

The Alméras Biturbo Conversion

The Alméras brothers built their reputation in France converting and modifying Porsches through the 1980s and 1990s, and a twin-turbo reworking of the already potent 930-generation 911 Turbo was exactly the kind of project that made their name among enthusiasts. Basing the conversion on the 930, itself already Porsche's flagship performance 911 of its era, gave the Alméras treatment a genuinely capable starting point rather than a mundane donor car.

A Specialist Addition to a Porsche Collection

This Biturbo suits a Porsche tuner-themed shelf or a collection built around lesser-known European conversions, where its rarity is the entire appeal. Sealed resin construction is the right choice for a subject this specialist, prioritising body accuracy over interactive features few would ever use.
