About the Porsche 935 Turbo 24 Hours of Daytona 1979 Exoto 1:18

TL;DR: Exoto's 1:18 diecast Porsche 935 Turbo reproduces the flared Group 5 racer from the 1979 24 Hours of Daytona, with opening doors and bonnet on a zinc alloy body. A genuine endurance racing icon for a Porsche motorsport shelf.

The Porsche 935's wide, flat-nosed silhouette remains one of the most distinctive racing shapes of its era, and a Daytona-entered example carries real endurance racing weight.

Diecast Detail on a Widened Group 5 Racer

The 935's dramatically flared arches and low, flat nose, built to house a turbocharged engine and maximise aerodynamic efficiency at speed, benefit from diecast's structural rigidity in holding that widened bodywork stable and accurate along the flanks. Exoto's diecast work has historically been noted for precise panel definition, and here the doors and bonnet open to reveal cabin and mechanical detail, a useful feature given the model's racing pedigree invites closer inspection than a standard road car might. The livery's sponsor markings and colour blocking need sharp registration across the flared arches, and panel gaps around those wide extensions are the area most worth checking for casting precision.

The 935's Role in Endurance Racing History

The Porsche 935 dominated Group 5 racing through the late 1970s and into the 1980s, and the 24 Hours of Daytona was one of the key endurance events where the model established its competitive record against a field of similarly radical Group 5 machinery. That competitive weight makes any correctly liveried 935 a significant subject for collectors of 1970s and 1980s endurance racing.

Anchoring an Endurance Racing Collection

This 935 anchors well within a Porsche motorsport or Group 5 racing shelf, its wide stance benefiting from generous display space. Open the doors occasionally to show the cabin detail beneath.
