911 Porsche World

JÄGERBOMB

-

The first of our road and race widebody pairing is this 1:12 scale recreation of the 1976 934 Jägermeist­er car from Team Max-moritz. Winner of the DRM Eifelrenne­n that year, it was helmed by one Helmut Kelleners, a racer who also bagged notable victories at the Spa 24 Hours race in both 1968 and 1970, along with the 24 Hours Nürburgrin­g in 1972. The 934, of course, was a very successful factory racer for Porsche, with at least 400 units being produced during 1976 and 1977. The 1976 version ran around 480hp from its turbocharg­ed 3.0-litre flat six. In 1977, that was upgraded to fully 550hp. Combine that with an overall mass of 1100kg and you have the makings of a quick little car. And a gorgeous 1:12 scale model from Minichamps, available from selectionr­s.com for €189.95 or £170.
