The Porsche 962C of the official Porsche AG team at Le Mans 1988, now in a double set at 1/64 scale from Spark Models
With this combo YCOMBO64005, Spark Models presents two replicas of the Porsche 962C with which the official Porsche AG team competed in the 1988 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans under the number 18. For any diecast miniature enthusiast and endurance racing fan, this set represents one of the most important prototypes in the history of Group C at the Sarthe circuit.
The Porsche 962C and the 24h of Le Mans 1988
The Porsche 962C was the dominant prototype of Group C during the second half of the 1980s. With a turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine and an aerodynamically optimized body for top speeds on the Hunaudières straights, the 962C became synonymous with dominance at Le Mans. In the 1988 edition, the official Porsche AG team lined up their cars with the characteristic livery of the sponsors of the period, entrusting the wheel of #18 to a crew of top international drivers.
This Spark set precisely recreates that participation, offering two versions of the same car within a single collectible pack, allowing enthusiasts to have a complete and coherent representation of the German squad in their display.
