New arrival
Porsche 911 996 Turbo Black Metallic KK-Scale 1:18 KKDC181472 Diecast
1 / 6
KK-Scale's 1:18 diecast Porsche 911 996 Turbo reproduces the all-wheel-drive coupe in black metallic, the generation that carried the Turbo badge forward from the air-cooled era using a Mezger-derived engine rather than the standard 996's unit. The sealed one-piece body holds the Turbo's wide arches and intake ducts with tight, consistent shut lines. A mid-tier diecast companion to the silver version, letting collectors pair both colourways of this 911 Turbo generation.

About the Porsche 911 996 Turbo Black Metallic KK-Scale 1:18

TL;DR: KK-Scale's 1:18 diecast Porsche 911 996 Turbo reproduces the all-wheel-drive coupe in black metallic, the generation that carried the Turbo badge forward using a Mezger-derived engine rather than the standard 996's unit. The sealed one-piece body holds the wide arches and intakes cleanly, a mid-tier diecast judged on stance and finish.

Porsche has used the Turbo badge on the 911 since the mid-1970s, and the 996 generation was the point where that lineage went water-cooled and all-wheel drive without losing the engineering pedigree the name carried. KK-Scale's black metallic example lets the Turbo's wide arches and intake ducts recede slightly into the body colour, a different visual effect from the silver version in the same range.

KK-Scale's Porsche 911 996 Turbo in Black Metallic

From the 930 to the 996: A Name With History

Porsche first applied the Turbo name to a 911 in 1975, on the 930, a car whose turbocharged flat-six and wide rear arches set the template every subsequent 911 Turbo has followed in one form or another. When the 996 generation replaced the air-cooled 911 in 1997, the standard Carrera switched to an entirely new water-cooled engine, but the Turbo that followed for the 2000 model year kept a development of the proven architecture from the 993 Turbo and the 911 GT1 race programme, an engine still referred to by lead engineer Hans Mezger's name. That continuity matters to anyone tracing the Turbo badge's lineage rather than treating the 996 as a clean break from everything that came before it.

Wide Arches and Ducting KK-Scale Keeps Defined

All-wheel drive and the Mezger-derived engine both required bodywork the standard 996 never needed: wider rear arches to cover a broader track, enlarged intake ducts ahead of the rear wheels feeding the turbochargers, and a fixed rear wing in place of the naturally aspirated car's pop-up spoiler. KK-Scale keeps those arch flares and duct openings sharply defined against the black bodywork, and although a dark colour tends to soften visible contrast compared with a lighter finish, the duct shadows and arch lines still read clearly thanks to accurate depth in the tooling rather than relying on paint contrast to do the work.

Sealed Diecast Construction in Black Metallic

Weight, Shut Lines, and a Demanding Paint Colour

This 996 Turbo is cast as a sealed body, with doors, bonnet, and engine cover moulded shut rather than built to open, a construction choice that suits the 996's rounded, surface-tension-driven shape by avoiding the slight unevenness a working hinge can leave along a curved panel edge. Lifted from the packaging, the zinc alloy body carries real weight, the density that separates proper diecast from a lighter composite shell. Black is the least forgiving colour for surface quality, showing up any unevenness in the casting or paint far more readily than silver does, and this finish holds an even, deep gloss across the roof and bonnet rather than revealing texture under a direct light.

Cockpit Detail and Turbo-Specific Wheels

Through the glazing, the cabin shows Porsche's characteristic five-dial instrument cluster rendered legibly, with seats finished in a contrasting trim rather than one flat colour throughout. The Turbo-specific wheels, wider than a standard 996's, carry defined spokes and sit with correct offset inside the flared arches. Nothing in the cabin opens for closer handling, so the view through the windows represents this casting's entire interior statement, and KK-Scale puts its finishing effort exactly where a shelf display will actually show it off against the black body.

Pairing Black and Silver Through the Turbo Lineage

This black 996 Turbo pairs naturally with the silver version from the same KK-Scale range, letting a collector display two readings of the same bodywork, one where the arch and duct detail stands out against a lighter finish and one where it recedes into the body colour. At 1:18 the 996's coupe proportions give it a footprint close to 21-22cm, comparable to most contemporary sports coupes at the same scale, so a pair fits easily on a shared shelf without demanding extra depth. KK-Scale's mid-tier diecast pricing makes building both colours realistic, and because the body is sealed on each, the comparison between them comes down to how black and silver each handle the same arch lines, ducting, and stance.
