Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Porsche 911 993 Cup recreates the FATurbo Express number 17 car driven by Dupuy in the 1994 one-make cup season. The sealed body carries the cup livery and rear wing in sharp tampo print, with correct wide-body stance. A neat entry point into one-make racing for collectors who already track the 993 as the last air-cooled 911.

About the Porsche 911 993 Cup 3.8 #17 Dupuy FATurbo Express 1994 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Porsche 911 993 Cup recreates the FATurbo Express number 17 car driven by Dupuy in the 1994 one-make cup season. The sealed one-piece body carries the cup livery in sharp tampo print, a compact entry point into 993-era one-make racing.

One-make cup racing strips motorsport back to driver skill on identical machinery, and the 993-generation Carrera Cup car represents one of the purest expressions of that format from the Porsche back catalogue. Minichamps built this FATurbo Express liveried entry for collectors who track cup racing specifically, or who simply value the 993 as the final air-cooled 911 generation.

The 993 Cup Car in One-Make Racing

FATurbo Express Livery on a Sealed Body

The number 17 sits clearly on the doors and roof, with FATurbo Express sponsor graphics wrapped across the bonnet, sills, and rear wing in crisp tampo print. Because the body is a single sealed casting, that livery runs continuously around the wide cup-spec arches without interruption at a panel join, keeping the graphics legible even at 1:43. The rear wing, a defining feature of any 911 Cup car, is moulded with defined struts rather than a simplified block shape, and the wide-body stance sits correctly against the arches rather than looking narrow or under-filled.

The 993 as the Last Air-Cooled 911

The 993 generation holds a specific significance within Porsche's history as the final air-cooled 911 before the water-cooled 996 arrived, giving any 993-based subject, cup car or road car alike, a natural appeal to collectors who track that transition closely. Its Cup racing variant, built for one-make competition rather than public roads, adds a further layer of specificity for buyers assembling a Porsche one-make racing shelf. A model like this one works well precisely because it combines both threads in a single subject.

Minichamps' Cup Car Diecast Detail

Wing, Wheels, and Number 17 Graphics

The diecast body carries the weight typical of a zinc-alloy casting at this scale, giving the model a settled feel despite its compact footprint. Wheels reflect the correct cup-spec diameter and offset, filling the widened arches properly rather than sitting recessed, and paint holds an even, deep finish across the bonnet and roof where the number 17 and sponsor graphics sit. Shut lines stay tight and consistent along the full length of the body, a benefit of the single-piece construction rather than an assembled shell with separate opening panels.

Cup Racers Among Road-Going 911 Models

Placed next to a standard 993 Carrera road car, this Cup variant stands out through its wide-body stance, rear wing, and stripped-back livery rather than a dramatically different silhouette, since Porsche's one-make cup cars stay relatively close to their road-going base. That similarity makes for an interesting comparison on a themed 993 shelf, where a road car and its cup-racing equivalent sit side by side to show exactly how far a manufacturer takes a platform for one-make competition.

A Cup Series Entry Point

This FATurbo Express Cup car works well as an entry point into 993-era one-make racing, pairing naturally with other liveries from the same cup season or with a standard 993 road car for direct comparison. Minichamps' 1:43 diecast keeps that kind of themed collecting realistic in both price and shelf space, letting several cup liveries sit together without the outlay a full field at 1:18 would demand. For collectors tracking Porsche's air-cooled history, this is a well-finished, historically grounded addition.
