Porsche 935/78 Pink Pig body shell

The "Pink Pig" of Le Mans on your track: the Porsche 935/78 body shell from Sideways

Few liveries in motorsport history evoke as much affection and respect at the same time as the Porsche 935/78 "Pink Pig". Sideways brings back that unmistakable look —with its characteristic pink paint and butcher cuts drawn on the body— in this spare part that allows slot enthusiasts to build, restore or customise their own tribute to one of the most extravagant prototypes that have raced at Le Mans.

An icon of motorsport turned into a slot body

The Porsche 935/78, nicknamed "Moby Dick" in its long body version and "Pink Pig" for its striking livery, is one of those machines that transcend motorsport to become popular culture. Its elongated silhouette, lowered roof, and that decoration that divided the car into pieces of pork made it immortal long before the internet existed. Having its body on the track is, for many collectors, a statement of intent.
