- [Porsche 911 (964) Turbo S Flat Nose 1994] produced as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [VISION].
- We have modeled the flat nose of the turbo S (light weight specification), which is said to be 39 units produced, which is extremely rare among the 964 series turbo models.
[Vehicle commentary]
- 3rd generation 911, 964 series introduced in 1989.
- The looks left a strong impression on the 930 series, but about 80% of the car body was renewed, breaking away from the torsion bar suspension, which was one of Porsche's identities, and improving aerodynamic performance up to the back of the car body. , The installation of power steering and ABS, and the addition of a 4WD model that has accumulated know-how in the 959, etc., were finished with contents suitable for the new generation 911.
- Many competition models were created in the 964 series, but the main force was the naturally aspirated model, and the turbo was the flagship, strengthening its character as a luxury tourer.
- Under such circumstances, it can be said that it is a unique existence, it is a lightweight specification turbo S based on the turbo model.
- The engine was tuned to 385 horsepower, up 25 horsepower from the standard 3.6-liter turbo ratio.
- The suspension was also reinforced and lowered by about 1.5 inches (3.75cm).
-Turbo S has various specifications depending on the destination, and a total of less than 100 units are produced, and 10 units are imported to Japan.
- Records show that 39 Flat Noses were shipped to American customers out of a total of just under 100 produced.
- By the way, the flat nose was a luxury option that required an extra cost of $60,000 on top of the base car price of $99,000.
[Model commentary]
-In modeling, based on the prototype data of the 964 Turbo S (Lightweight S) that was built by Make Up, it was supposed to be a front section arranged with a flat nose and four out. The prototype is designed by adding special designs such as the muffler, the rear bumper to store it, and the rear wing.
- 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.
-The 964 Turbo S Flat Nose, which was not officially imported to Japan, is not the usual retractable type like the 930 series flat nose, but has a funny face with the same design of the 924/968 popping up. I'm here.
- Make Up realistically reproduces the state in which the light is stored.
- In addition, the wheel, which combines the white metal disc and the machined aluminum rim, is a point that we would like you to enjoy the realism, including the expression of the precise pierce bolt.
- Five body colors are available: guards red, slate gray metallic, black, white, and polar silver metallic.
- Please keep it in your `model car garage` as part of Make Up's 964 collection, which will be expanded in the future.
