PORSCHE 963 9RD 4.6L TURBO V8 TEAM HERTZ JOTA N 12 24h LEMANS

The Spark 1/64 replica of the Porsche 963 #12 from Hertz Team Jota at Le Mans 2024: the German Hypercar in its most elegant version, now in a compact collectible format.

Spark Models continues to expand its 1/64 scale series with pieces that demonstrate that a smaller size does not have to mean sacrificing detail. The reference Y401 features the Porsche 963 LMDh with the number 12 from Hertz Team Jota, as it was presented in the 2024 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A model for those who closely follow the Hypercar category and want to have the real protagonists of the world's most iconic race in their display case.

The Porsche 963 and Hertz Team Jota at Le Mans 2024

The Porsche 963 is the LMDh prototype from Stuttgart that combines the MULTIMATIC chassis with the 9RD 4.6L Turbo V8 engine and a hybrid system homologated under the Le Mans Daytona hybrid regulations. Hertz Team Jota, a private customer team based in the UK, lined up two units in the 2024 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans: the number #12, driven by Will Stevens, Norman Nato and Callum Ilott, and its twin #38.

The livery of #12 follows the corporate colours of Hertz —intense gold on black— with sponsorship details from Singer, making this car one of the most recognisable in the Le Mans 2024 paddock. A design that Spark has faithfully transferred to diecast in this 1/64 scale.

1/64 Scale: High-Level Compact Collecting

The 1/64 scale is increasingly taking up space in the collection of competition miniatures. Its compact format allows for an entire WEC lineup to be gathered without the need for large display cases, and Spark has made this range a benchmark in the industry thanks to the diecast finish and the colour fidelity of the decorations. The Y401 is no exception: the body reproduces the Hertz Team Jota graphics with a level of precision that is surprising at this size.

For the collector who already has the number #38 of the same reference, the #12 completes the total presence of the team on the Le Mans 2024 grid. A combination that adds coherence to any diorama or display dedicated to the Hypercar era.

• Collectors of competition miniatures in 1/64 scale.
• Followers of the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
• Porsche enthusiasts and LMDh prototypes.
• Those wishing to complete the full lineup of Hertz Team Jota 2024.
