About the Porsche 911 930 Almeras Biturbo 3.3 Blue Kess 1:18
TL;DR: Kess's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 930 Almeras Biturbo 3.3 in Blue reproduces the French tuning house's twin-turbo conversion of the classic 930. Sealed resin construction in a small production run suits Kess's usual approach to obscure, tuner-specific Porsche subjects most manufacturers overlook entirely.
Kess has built a reputation among Porsche collectors for chasing the variants larger diecast manufacturers skip, and an Almeras-tuned 930 is a textbook example of that approach.
Almeras and the Biturbo 930
Andre Almeras ran a well-regarded French tuning operation focused on Porsche's air-cooled cars through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and a twin-turbo Biturbo 3.3 conversion of the 930 represents the kind of independent engineering work that never went through Porsche's own catalogue. These cars were built in genuinely small numbers by a specialist workshop rather than a factory production line, which is precisely why a scale replica of one is a discovery piece rather than a familiar shape most collectors already own in some form.
Small-Batch Resin for a Niche Subject
Resin construction fits a low-volume subject like this far better than a diecast tooling run would, since the production economics of a niche tuner variant rarely support the tooling investment diecast demands. Kess's sealed resin body holds tight, consistent panel lines around the 930's distinctive whale-tail rear and flared arches, and the Blue finish gives the Biturbo badge and body detailing genuine visual weight. There is no opening feature to speak of, and for a piece built around documenting a specific tuner history rather than interior accessibility, that limitation costs the model very little.
A Piece for Porsche Tuner Specialists
This model rewards collectors already deep into 911 variant history rather than casual buyers wanting a generic 930. Displayed alongside other resin tuner subjects, it documents a genuine slice of independent Porsche engineering that most catalogues never touch.
