About the Porsche 911 993 GT2 #01 H. Haywood 24 Hours of Daytona 1993 Anson 1:18

TL;DR: Anson's 1:18 Porsche 911 993 GT2 reproduces the #1 car entered under Hurley Haywood's name at the 1993 24 Hours of Daytona, a diecast racer with opening doors, full GTO-spec aero, and the widened bodywork that separated the factory GT2 from the road-going 993.

Endurance racing diecast lives or dies on livery accuracy, and a GTO-class Porsche carries more sponsor graphics and aero addenda than almost any road car reproduction. This 993 GT2 gives a collector a genuine slice of early-1990s IMSA competition, with opening doors most mid-tier racing diecast from this era never bothered to include.

Anson's 1:18 Diecast Build and Opening Doors

Anson built its name on licensed racing and road-car diecast through the 1990s, and this 993 GT2 shows the brand working at the more ambitious end of that output. The zinc alloy body carries real weight once it clears the packaging, the kind of density that signals a metal casting rather than a lighter composite shell. Both doors open and hold their position once set, revealing a cabin stripped for competition: a visible roll cage structure, a single bucket seat, and the stark, function-first dashboard that replaces the 993's usual road-going trim. That hinge detail matters more here than on a street car, because GT2-class Porsches ran with their doors frequently propped during pit stops, and seeing the cage and cage-mounted switchgear through an open door is part of what makes a race-liveried model worth the extra production cost. The exterior wears the widened GT2 bodywork, with box-flared arches accommodating wider racing rubber and a prominent rear wing mounted on struts rather than the factory's more restrained ducktail. Race number 1, sponsor graphics, and the period-correct colour scheme are reproduced as printed decals rather than raised appliques, keeping panel surfaces smooth under the paint. It is a model built around its racing identity, not a cosmetically modified version of the road car Porsche actually sold.

The 993 GT2 in IMSA GTO Competition

Porsche built the 911 GT2 on the 993 platform specifically to satisfy homologation rules for international GT racing, producing a small run of road cars so the competition version could run in period GT classes including the American IMSA series. The GT2 shed weight wherever the rulebook allowed, kept rear-wheel drive rather than the all-wheel-drive layout of the contemporary Turbo, and relied on a twin-turbocharged flat-six pushed well past the road car's output for competition duty. In IMSA's GTO category through the early 1990s, these Porsches ran against Nissan, Mazda and other manufacturer-backed efforts, giving the Daytona 24 Hours a genuinely varied grid rather than a single-marque procession. The race itself, run each winter at Daytona International Speedway, remains one of endurance racing's toughest tests, mixing day and night stints with a banked oval section that punishes any mechanical weakness. The #1 car this model reproduces carried Hurley Haywood's name into that 1993 running, a driver whose reputation at Daytona was already built on repeated appearances in the race across multiple decades and multiple manufacturers. Whatever the result on that particular weekend, having his name on the door places this GT2 firmly within one of American sports car racing's most storied driver lineages, which is exactly the kind of context that gives a modest diecast model real collecting weight. Period Bridgestone tyre branding and sponsor liveries round out a package that still reads as unmistakably of its era.

Collecting 1990s American Endurance Racing

A GTO-class Porsche sits naturally alongside other IMSA and early American Le Mans Series models, building out a themed shelf around Daytona and Sebring rather than the more commonly collected European Le Mans grids. At 1:18, the scale is large enough to show off the wing, flared arches and roll cage detail that make this subject interesting in the first place, without demanding museum-scale display space. Anson sits below the premium racing-diecast specialists on finish and finesse, and that honest mid-tier positioning shows up in the price rather than being hidden behind marketing claims. Opening doors add a genuine display option that many budget-tier racers skip, letting the cabin detail do real work rather than sitting behind tinted glass. It rewards a closer look more than it demands centre stage.
