About the Porsche 917/10 Rinzler Motoracing #23 C. Kemp Can-Am Watkins Glen 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/10 reproduces the Rinzler Motoracing #23 car driven by Charlie Kemp at Watkins Glen in the 1973 Can-Am season. Metal construction suits a turbocharged prototype built for brute straight-line speed.

The 917/10 marked Porsche's move into Can-Am's turbocharged era, a category with almost no rule limits on power, and the result was one of the most violently fast sports racing cars ever built.

Diecast Weight for a Turbocharged Prototype

Minichamps builds the 917/10 in metal, and that diecast heft feels appropriate for a car defined almost entirely by raw power rather than delicate handling balance. The wide rear wing, flared bodywork and Rinzler Motoracing livery, with its number 23 and period sponsor graphics, sit on panel lines tight enough to hold the car's aggressive stance without the softening a lower-tier diecast tool sometimes introduces on curved sports-prototype bodywork. There are no opening panels typical of a pure racing prototype like this, so the model's strength is silhouette and livery accuracy rather than interior detail.

Charlie Kemp and Can-Am's Turbo Era

Can-Am in the early 1970s ran with minimal technical restriction, and Porsche's turbocharged flat-12 917/10 answered that freedom with genuinely brutal power output, reshaping what a sports racing car could be. Charlie Kemp's Watkins Glen entry for Rinzler Motoracing represents the kind of privateer effort that filled out Can-Am grids alongside factory-backed teams, and this model captures a lesser-known corner of that history rather than the series' more famous factory liveries. It pairs naturally with other Can-Am 917/10 pieces on a 1970s sports prototype shelf.
