At Porsche in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen they have always done their utmost to fulfil even the most eccentric requests. The Porsche Exclusive department, which was the predecessor of the former special request department, has been responsible for implementing vehicle projects of this nature since 1978. Equipped with the M64/50 turbo engine from the 1994 964 Turbo 3.6, as of 1995 exactly 14 Porsche 993 Turbo high-performance convertibles have emerged, which were 112,000 DM above the price of the normal 993 Cabriolet with an end price of 264,000 DM. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Porsche 911 (993) Cabriolet to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
In 1973, it was Germany‘s fastest mass-produced sports car - the Porsche Carrera RS 2.7. The Carrera attracted particular attention with its rear spoiler, the first to be used in mass production, which came to be known as the „ducktail“. Originally planned in an edition of only 500, by the end of 1973, a total of 1580 were built of this classic sports car weighing only 975 kg and packing 210 hp. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Porsche 2,7 RS to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail. These models are the perfect choice for model railways enthusiasts, diorama makers and die-hard model collectors.
In its “Original shape” at the beginning of the 1960’s and designed by the oldest son of Ferry Porsche, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche,known as “Buzzi”, the 911 was introduced to the enthusiastic public in 1963 as the successor to the legendary Porsche 356. The Porsche 911 did not have its first major visual revision until model year 1974. In the so-called G model, completely new bumpers with thetypical black folding bellows were used to fulfil these requirements. In October 1974, at the Geneva Salon de l´Auto, the Porsche„Turbo“ was presented as the top model.

The Porsche 911 did not have its first major visual revision until model year 1974. In 1972 the responsible US authorities stipulated in the “Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act” that new vehicles must not be damaged in the event of a collision of the bumper with an obstruction up to a speed of 5 mph = 8 km/h. In the so-called G model, completely new bumpers with the typical black folding bellows were used to fulfil these requirements. Together with the engine, which had increased to 3,2 litres, and many other technical improvements, the “New eleven” was produced in Zuffenhausen from 1974. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Porsche 911 Carrera 3,2 Speedster to a scale of 1:87. Edition 1:87 models come with a metal body and chassis.

For many motor sport fans worldwide, he is the best car driver of all time - Walter Röhrl. The twice world rally champion and fourtimes winner of the Monte Carlo Rally, has for decades had a particular weakness for the legendary sports car from Zuffenhausen, thePorsche 911. It was through collaboration with restoration firm Diez Classic that a rally car based on a 1974 Porsche 911 G model wasbuilt to meet the former Group 4 regulations. The powerful rally car with over 300 PS on tap from an air-cooled 4-litre 6-cylinderboxer engine bears 911 signatures added personally by Walter Röhrl and, as a strictly limited edition from Schuco, will certainly soon be a gem in any Porsche model collection.Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 750 pieces a miniature model of thislegendary Porsche 911 „Röhrl x 911“ to a scale of 1:18 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands forexceptional and highly filigree small series models.

The long-awaited successor to the Zuffenhausen car brand’s first production sports car, the Porsche 356, was presented in September 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt under the name Porsche 901. Since three-digit number designations with a zero in the middle were already copyrighted by Peugeot and, as a result, an objection had been made to the “901” designation, Porsche decided without further ado to release the car onto the market under the name Porsche 911. A model name which very soon started to have a magical effect on the motor world and all sports car enthusiasts. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 911 pieces a miniature model of this Porsche 911 S Coupé to a scale of 1:18. Just like the other models of the Schuco Edition 1:18, the Porsche 911 S comes with many lovingly crafted details, such as opening and closing doors, a front opening hood and the opening bonnet. A fine miniature version can be found in the engine bay of the air-cooled, 2.4-litre, 6-cylinder boxer engine which produced an impressive 190HP in the original and made the Porsche 911 S, with its maximum speed of 230km/h, one of the fastest sports cars of its time. The likewise very finely detailed interior of the miniature Porsche is based on its full-size model and shares many details, like the five circular instruments typical of the 911 and the equally characteristic orange-coloured needles.
Called „Buzzi“ in its original form, at the beginning of the 60s, by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the eldest son of Ferry Porsche, the 911 was designed in 1963 and presented to an enthusiastic public as successor to the legendary Porsche 356. As the first mass-production Porsche, the 911 was given a completely newly developed, air-cooled, 6-cylinder, boxer engine. Continually improved and further developed over the years, the high-quality and finely detailed Schuco metal model to a scale of 1:43 represents a 911 S coupé of the year 1971.
After there had been a Porsche Speedster in the Porsche product range in 1989 on the basis of the so-called G model and also in 1993 on the basis of the 964 model series, the tradition was not continued with the successor to the 964, the 993 model series. Only two 993 speedster vehicles were produced at Porsche Exclusive on the basis of the 993 model series. A green vehicle on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, and a silver vehicle for US comedian and Porsche enthusiast Jerry Seinfeld. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary Porsche 911 (993) Speedster to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line.

When the first 12 models in the Schuco-Piccolo series were launched in 1957 nobody had any idea at that stage that these models would still enjoy immense popularity sixty years later. This is no doubt attributed to the simple, robust and thus charming design of the models, which originally owed their appearance to the new die-cast technology of the time. Schuco Piccolos still make a good impression today on account of their excellent running qualities and their heavy zinc die-casting design like the Porsche 911 "Skiurlaub".

In the mid-seventies, in order to be able to offer a Porsche racing car capable of winning according to the FIA regulations of Group 4 and the associated competitions of the German Motor Racing Championship, the American IMSA GT series and the World Sportscar Championship, the Porsche 934 was developed. At the same time, the Zuffenhausen company also developed the Porsche 935 for Group 5 and the Porsche 936 for Group 6 of the World Sportscar Championship. While the 935 and 936 were originally only intended for use by the Porsche works team, the Porsche 934 was also to be offered to private racing stables. Because of the Group 4 regulations, only very limited changes to the bodywork relative to a production car were allowed. Thus, the riveted wing extensions and the front skirt extended close to the ground and with large air inlets are the most visible characteristics distinguishing the car from the Porsche 930 Turbo on which it is based. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 911 pieces a miniature model of this Porsche 934 RSR to a scale of 1:18. The painstakingly hand-produced Schuco model has numerous functions and, with its many racing details, is an invitation to a real voyage of discovery through the racing technology of the 1970s.

The 930, 964 und 993 models from the air-cooled Porsche 911 range are some of the most sought-after roadsters in recent automobilehistory. Porsche collectors prefer these vehicles in their original condition. Fans of the Japanese car tuning icon Akira Nakai wouldbeg to differ. Nakai founded the car tuning company Rauh Welt RWB almost 15 years ago. Based near Tokyo, Rauh Welt RWB is one of theworld’s most exclusive and individual tuning brands.Nakai’s bold and radical designs are highly controversial among Porsche fans. Forsome people, his wide-body race kits inspired by racing car designs from the 1970s and 1980s are an abomination of the originalvehicle. However, among his steadily growing fan community, the Rauh-Welt 964 and 993 are the epitome of coolness and exclusivity.Rauh-Welt Porsches enjoy cult status among many young sports car and Porsche enthusiasts and are real eye-catchers at Porschegatherings worldwide.

Following the huge success of the 1.5 tonne Opel Blitz truck in the 1930s, in 1952 Opel launched a 1.75 tonne model to replace itsprewar predecessor. With its American-inspired design, the Opel Blitz was a true trendsetter in the history of German post-war trucks. Its 2.5 litre, 6-cylinder 58 hp engine helped the Blitz to reach a maximum speed of almost 100 kilometres per hour. Thanks to itssophisticated and extremely reliable design, the Blitz 1.75 T was used by the Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post Office),government authorities and the private sector, as well as the Porsche racing service. Almost 90,000 vehicles of this series were soldbetween 1952 and 1960.

"As of the summer of 1967, the Triumph TR 5 became the successor to the Triumph TR 4A. The roadster, designed by Michelotti in Italy,differed from its predecessor externally only through the additional chrome trim on its sides and afew other small details. In orderto meet the exhaust emission standards of the extremely important US market at that time, the TR5 was offered in the US with twoStromberg carburettors instead of petrol injection, under the model designation TR 250. The most conspicuous optical feature of the TR 250 was definitely the transverse rally strip on the bonnet, which makes it unmistakable among Triumph roadsters to this day."
The Triumph TR5 was the successor model to the TR4A, and appeared in the summer of 1967. This roadster, which was designed by Michelotti, only differed from its predecessors externally by additional chrome trim on the sides and several other small details. However, beneath the long bonnet of the TR5 there was now a long-stroke inline 6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.5 litres and output of 143 BHP. From July 1967 to September 1968, just 2,947 examples of this classic old-school British roadster were manufactured.

Developed for a government contract in the 1930s by the Stuttgart design office Porsche, the VW Beetle became the world’s best-selling car over the course of its 65-year production history, overtaking the previous record holder, the Ford T model known as “Tin Lizzy”.The most outstanding features of the “Beetle” were its revolutionary streamlined shape, an air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine, acutting-edge platform chassis and a newly developed torsion bar suspension. Continuous improvements were made to the series over theyears. Evidence shows that no less than 78,000 technical changes were made to the VW Beetle from 1948 to 1974. During a meeting todiscuss the VW Beetle in 1954, the former Managing Director of the Volkswagen plant, Heinrich Nordhoff, remarked: “We are convincedthat salvation lies not in new designs, however bold and magnificent they may be, but in the consistent and never-ending developmentof even the smallest details to maturity and perfection. This is the key to truly surprising success”. The all-new 1:18 resin model of the VW Beetle also sports a wide range of intricate details and is an essential addition to every VW beetle and model car collection.
After the rapid growth in the 50s of the desire for free mobility combined with the wish for travel to southern countries in large sections of the population, the camping culture became widespread as never before. It quickly occurred to a few talented vehicle developers that, in addition to the trailer caravans already known since the 20s, motorised caravans, motorhomes, could be developed. Thus, in California, a building kit appeared with which a VW Beetle could be converted into a low-cost version of a small motorhome - the Bug Camper. As well as demanding some handiwork skill, the conversion did take a good deal of time. The normal space in a Beetle was not enough for two beds, a table, wall cupboards and cooking facilities, so massive changes had to be made. To achieve this, the bodywork from just in front of the windscreen to the rear end was completely removed and a wooden superstructure was then built on the remaining chassis. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary VW Beetle Motorhome to a scale of 1:18 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models.

Within the scope of the up-and-coming camping culture, from the beginning of the 1970s several really very bizarre vehicle creations appeared on the market for camping vehicles. This category also includes this VW Beetle with camping trailer based on the Schuco small series model. Companies such as Harmon Industries from Warrensburg, Montana, had up to three different configuration levels of this type of camping trailer in their product range, which covered traction vehicle sizes from the VW Beetle to the Cadillac. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary VW Beetle 1200 with caravan trailer to a scale of 1:43 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models.

In the course of its 65 years in production, the Volkswagen, developed in the 1830s by the Stuttgart design office, Porsche, under government contract, grew to be the most produced car in the world, overtaking the previous record holder, the „Tin Lizzy“ Ford model T. The most outstanding technical characteristics of the „Beetle“ were its streamlined shape, revolutionary for its time, its air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine, its novel platform frame and its newly developed torsion bar suspension, which, over the years, underwent a continuous development and improvement process. Documentation shows that, from 1948 to 1974, no less than 78,000 changes were made to the VW Beetle. So said the former Managing Director of the Volkswagen plant, Heinrich Nordhoff, in 1954 on the occasion of a VW Beetle meeting: „We are convinced that salvation lies not in new designs, however bold and magnificent they may, but in the thorough-going and never satisfied further development of even the smallest details to maturity and perfection, which indeed brings the really surprising success“. This is also true for the completely newly developed, 1:18 scale metal model of the 1963 VW Beetle, which is captivating with its multitude of painstaking details, making this model an enrichment for every VW beetle and model car collection.
In the early 50s of the last century, together with a Auto-Porter, this VW split window Beetle represented the almost idealcombination for summer holiday journeys to the sunny south.
