About the Porsche 917/20 Martini Racing #0 Interserie Champion 1974 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces Martini Racing's #0 Porsche 917/20, Interserie champion of the 1974 season, carrying the marque's famous striped livery across the wide-body 917/20 shape. Sealed one-piece body, tampo-printed racing stripes. A title-winning close to Porsche's remarkable run of 917-based competition success.

Martini Racing's stripes rank among motorsport's most recognisable liveries, and applying them to the 917/20's uniquely wide bodywork produced one of the more striking prototypes of the early 1970s. Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces the #0 car that closed out its Interserie season as champion in 1974, a fitting finale for a livery this closely associated with Porsche's competition history.

Martini Racing's Interserie Championship-Winning 917/20

The #0 Livery and a Title-Winning Season

Interserie by the mid-1970s had become the natural home for former Can-Am and Group racing machinery, giving cars like the 917/20 a genuinely competitive series to run in once their original programmes moved on to newer regulations. Martini Racing's #0 entry took the 1974 title in this environment, a result built on the car's continued mechanical strength years after its original development, and on a team with the resources and experience to extract reliable performance from what was, by then, established rather than cutting-edge machinery. A championship won this late in a car's competitive life speaks to just how strong the original engineering package remained against newer opposition.

The Wide-Body 917/20 in Full Racing Spec

The 917/20's broader bodywork, developed originally for aerodynamic experimentation, gave the car a wider footprint than the standard 917, and by the time it reached Interserie competition that width had become simply part of the package rather than an experimental curiosity. Under the skin, the flat-twelve engine and chassis remained fundamentally the same proven components that had already delivered success in Can-Am and endurance racing, repackaged here for a series that valued reliable, sustained pace over a full season rather than a single headline result.

Minichamps' Martini Stripes in 1:43 Diecast

Stripe Registration and Colour-Block Precision

Martini's blue, light blue and red stripes run across a white base in narrow, precisely spaced bands, and any inconsistency in that spacing is immediately obvious to anyone familiar with the livery from any of its countless other applications across motorsport history. Minichamps holds the stripe width and spacing consistent as they sweep across the 917/20's wide flanks and low nose, curving cleanly around the bodywork's contours rather than distorting where the surface changes angle. The number 0 sits within its own clean panel, printed with sharp enough edges to read clearly even at this small scale.

Sealed-Body Casting Across a Broad Flank

This model carries no opening doors or bodywork, cast as a single sealed shell, an approach that works especially well on a livery built from continuous stripes running the length of the car. A hinge line would interrupt that flow at exactly the point where the eye follows the stripe across a panel gap, so the fixed construction actually serves the livery's visual logic rather than simply being a manufacturing shortcut. The wide arches and rear wing hold clean, defined edges, and the glazing sits flush within its aperture, consistent with the casting quality found across Minichamps' broader 917 range.

A Championship Closer for an Interserie 917 Collection

Ending a 917-themed collection on a title-winning note gives the display a natural sense of closure, tracing the model's story from Le Mans aerodynamic testing and Can-Am domination through to a well-earned Interserie championship years later. The Martini livery adds instant recognisability that a lesser-known scheme wouldn't offer, making this an easy piece to place confidently alongside other prototype-era Porsches without needing extra context to justify its presence. At 1:43, the wide-body shape and bold stripes give it real presence even in a densely packed display of similarly scaled prototypes. For collectors who have followed the 917's full competitive arc, this Interserie champion makes a satisfying final entry in that particular chapter.
