- [Porsche 911 (964) Speedster Turbo Look 1993] produced as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [VISION].
-Among the Porsche 964 series, which has various exclusive specifications, one theory is that only a prototype was made, and we have modeled the Speedster Turbo look, a rare model that competes for 1 or 2.
[Vehicle commentary]
- [I want you to provide a model that you can enjoy driving Porsche cheaply].
- A speedster that is said to have been born at the request of a Porsche dealer in North America.
-It saw the light of day in 1952 with the American Roadster, which was set as a pre-A model before the 356A, and was promoted as an official catalog model from 1954 to 1958. It was the 356A Speedster that was produced.
- Speedster omits some of the wind-up type side windows and interior materials, and the windshield is not a body-integrated skeleton, but is changed to a level such as a simplified framed windshield, which weighs about 70kg. It was lighter.
- It was a lightweight model that prioritized running.
- It was in 1989 that such a speedster was revived in the 930 series, inheriting the low windshield and open body inherited from the 356A.
- Coincidentally, 1989 was the last year of the 930 series, and it was a model that decorated the final beauty.
- And in 1989, the new 911 and 964 series, which renewed the 80% type of the car body, debuted.
- Details about the 964 series are omitted here, but in 1993, when the 964 series was about to end, Porsche revived the Speedster as a model that once again decorated the end.
- This time, it was the vehicle that became the motif of the Make Up model, and it was based on Carrera 2, and it was lighter with a low windshield, a double bubble type tonneau cover, and FRP doors.
-The number of cars produced was a little less than 950, of which about 930 were standard bodies and about 15 were turbo bodies.
[Model commentary]
-In modeling, based on the prototype data of the 964 standard coupe model that was built by Make Up and had the ``what it should be like'', the details unique to the speedster, and the removed green house (roof) surroundings. We are designing the prototype by drawing on the data.
- Although it would be easier to completely redesign the car body in terms of the process, it would be consistent when lined up with other Make Up 964s, and it would also make the features and differences of each model stand out. So, the common body is used as the skeleton.
- Starting with the low windshield and simple A-pillar, which are the biggest features of the Speedster, when the tonneau cover mounted to cover the rear seats is installed, and when the simple soft top is closed. The two states are expressed with separate detachable parts.
- When the soft top is closed, the double bubble-shaped tonneau cover can be seen behind the rear window.
- With a structure where the soft top is placed on top of the tonneau cover, the thickness of the top part must be reduced to a few tenths of a millimeter to reproduce the structure. In addition, we have adopted a method of integrating the top itself and the tonneau cover itself that can be seen behind it.
- Please add the last air-cooled speedster to your collection, with white metal wheels, realistic lighting, and a mirror-finished body with a wide variety of body colors unique to the 964. .
