About the Porsche 908/02 #48 S. McQueen / P. Revson 12 Hours of Sebring 2nd Place Post Race Version 1970 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 908/02 recreates the #48 McQueen/Revson car that finished second at the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring, in its post-race livery. Opening panels expose a detailed prototype cockpit behind the zinc alloy body, capturing genuine endurance racing history.

Steve McQueen's involvement gives this particular 908/02 a cultural weight rare among endurance prototypes, and AUTOart's opening-panel diecast treats the subject with the detail it deserves.

Prototype Racing Detail Behind the Opening Panels

The zinc alloy body carries real weight, and with panels opening on this casting, the model exposes the low, purposeful cockpit layout that defined late-1960s and early-1970s prototype racing: a minimal dashboard, exposed roll structure, and the tight packaging around the driver that endurance regulations of the era demanded. The post-race livery detail, weathering and race markings consistent with a car that had just completed a full 12-hour Sebring stint, adds an unusual layer of authenticity beyond a simple pre-race presentation. Panel lines around the opening structure sit tightly against the prototype's low, curved bodywork, a genuine test of AUTOart's tooling on compound curves this demanding.

Steve McQueen and the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring

Steve McQueen's participation in endurance racing during this period, most famously connected to his film work of the era, adds genuine star power to any 908/02 he drove, and a second-place finish at Sebring represents a strong competitive result rather than a token celebrity entry. That combination of documented result and cultural figure gives this model real depth beyond its engineering.

Collecting Endurance Racing Specials

This 908/02 anchors well within a display of early-1970s endurance prototypes, and its celebrity connection makes it a natural conversation piece. Pair it with other period Porsche or Ferrari prototypes to build a Sebring or Le Mans-era grid, handling it occasionally to appreciate the opening cockpit detail.
