About the Porsche 917/20 TC #3 H. Kelleners Felder Racing Team Interserie 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/20 TC reproduces H. Kelleners' #3 Felder Racing Team entry from the 1973 Interserie championship, a wide-body prototype built on the concept Porsche developed after the 917's factory World Championship career ended. A genuinely obscure, well-chosen subject for endurance racing collectors.

Most 917 diecast chases the same handful of famous liveries. This one goes somewhere collectors rarely look: the car's quieter second act.

Minichamps' Diecast Rendering of Car #3

Felder Racing Team Livery and Race Number Detail

Privateer liveries rarely get the same lavish treatment as factory colours, but Minichamps applies the same tampo-printing standard here, keeping the Felder Racing Team markings and the #3 race number crisp and correctly placed across the wide, flared bodywork. The result is a livery that looks genuinely researched rather than a generic racing scheme with a number added, an important distinction for a subject this specific.

Prototype Bodywork in 1:18 Diecast

The 917/20's exaggerated wide-body shape, broader than the standard 917 through the hips and rear haunches, is reproduced with the flared arches and low, sweeping nose intact, and the model's weight confirms solid zinc alloy construction rather than a lightweight shell. The cockpit shows a simplified but recognisable roll cage and seat, appropriate for a prototype whose interior was always secondary to raw aerodynamic function.

The 917 After Its Factory World Championship Career Ended

A Wide-Body Shape Rooted in the 917/20 Concept

Porsche built the original 917/20 as a one-off wide-body experiment for the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours, a car remembered as much for its unconventional pink livery as for its unusual proportions. That wide-body concept became a template that outlived the original chassis, informing later prototypes built for competition after the works effort moved on.

Interserie as a Second Life for Ex-Works Prototypes

When new regulations pushed 917-based prototypes out of the World Sportscar Championship after 1971, cars carrying that engineering found a home in Interserie, a European series with more permissive rules that let ex-works machinery and privateer builds like this Felder Racing entry keep racing well into the 1970s. It's a genuinely under-documented chapter of the 917 story, which is exactly why a well-researched diecast of it matters to serious collectors.

A Deep-Cut Prototype for an Endurance Racing Shelf

At roughly 23cm in 1:18, this 917/20 TC needs the same generous shelf depth as any wide-body prototype, and it displays most dramatically in three-quarter rear view, where the flared haunches and rear wing dominate the silhouette. It won't carry the instant recognition of a famous factory livery, and that's the point: for a collector who already owns the well-known 917s and wants to go one step further into the model's real racing history, this Interserie entry is a considered, genuinely researched choice rather than a repeat purchase.
