I found this press release from a few weeks ago an interesting one. It’s from TECHART about a new model they’re producing. Literally…a model. It seems TECHART wanted to provide a Porsche even those of us without the means of the top 1% of the world’s population could afford.
The TECHART limited edition GTStreet model is a collectible 1:43 scale model with fine detail replicating the actual program for Porsche 911 Turbo and GT2 cars. The cars are painted in California orange and black, and limited to just 300 units. Each car comes with a clear acrylic display case that includes a base plate showing the serial number.
Definitely a cool addition to any Porsche scale model collection. I’m a little surprised they’re marketing these though. Seems like scale model shops and sites tend to have this covered. Plus at EUR 59.90, the profit certainly isn’t the driver here. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a Porsche tuner market models like this. I suspect it’s kind of like the vanity billboard scenario aimed at appeasing some exec more than anything.
You can order your scale model at the TECHART site here: TECHART Collectors Models.
