About the Porsche 917K Martini #4 V. Elford / G. Van Lennep 24 Hours of Daytona 1971 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 917K reproduces the #4 Martini Racing entry from Daytona 1971, with opening doors, bonnet and boot exposing the flat-12 detail. This used model's box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A defining endurance prototype for any Porsche or Le Mans-era collection.

The 917K's Kurzheck bodywork solved the aerodynamic instability that plagued the original long-tail 917, turning Porsche's prototype into a genuinely dominant endurance racer.

AUTOart's Diecast Rendering of the 917K

This 917K is built as a zinc alloy diecast, and its weight suits the car's boxy, aluminium-tube-framed proportions, giving the model a solidity that matches the prototype's genuinely low, wide stance. Doors, bonnet and boot all open, revealing the rear-mounted flat-12 engine detail and the sparse racing cabin, features that reward close inspection on a subject whose engineering is as celebrated as its results. Panel gaps run at typical diecast tolerance, a fair trade given the amount of mechanical detail a prototype like this exposes once opened. The Martini Racing livery's stripes are applied with sharp, consistent registration, essential on a scheme this widely recognised and easy to spot if slightly misaligned. As a used piece, the box shows the traces of storage stated on the listing; the casting itself presents the stripes and stance cleanly.

The 917K's Place in an Endurance Racing Collection

Martini's stripes have become almost as recognisable as the 917 shape itself, and this Daytona 1971 livery represents one of the earliest and most successful pairings of the two. Displayed alongside other early-1970s prototypes, particularly Ferrari and Matra rivals from the same endurance seasons, it makes for an instructive contrast in aerodynamic philosophy. The opening bodywork is a real asset on a subject like this, since the flat-12 engine and the exposed chassis structure are central to why the 917 remains a benchmark prototype, detail a sealed casting would keep entirely out of sight.
