About the Car

 

The Porsche 911 was introduced in 1964 as two-door 2+2 high performance rear-engine sports car.  The car has a rear-mounted flat-six engine.  The basic concept has remained unchanged even though it has been enhanced over the years.  The 911 is among the most successful competition cars having been raced by private and factory teams. Reintroduced from the 356 Carrera, the Carrera name was introduced to the 911s in 1973.  The car had a 3.0 L aluminum engine with Bosch-K Jetronic fuel injection and 5-speed transmission.  The Targa, introduced on the 1966 Porsche 911, is a semi-convertible body style with a removeable roof section.  It also has a full width roll bar behind the seats.

 

About the Brand

 

Porsche, specializing in high-performance sport cars, SUVs, and sedans, is a German automobile manufacturer headquartered in Stuttgart.  The company is owned by Volkswagen AG.  The company was founded by Ferdinand Porsche along with Adolf Rosenberger and Anton Piech in 1931.  They started out being a vehicle development and consulting company. One of its first assignments was from the German government to design the Volkswagen Beetle, a car for the people.  Using many of the components from the Beetle, the Porsche 64 was developed in 1939.  The Porsche logo is fashioned after the coat of arms of the Free People’s State of Wurttemberg Germany of 1918-1933.

 

About the Manufacturer

 

Minichamps was founded in 1990 as a die-cast car producer in Aachen, Germany under the name of Paul’s Model Art GmbH.   The original company was the Danhausen, a trade company that made 1:43 scale models and sold them over the counter and mail order.  From 1971 to 1993 the company published the famous Danhausen World Model Car Book.  Danhausen was owned by the grandsons of Emma Danhausen – Hans Peter and Paul Gunter Lang.  There was a dispute between the brothers in the late 1980’s.  That is when Paul formed the Paul’s Model Art.  Diecast models were made more for the adult clientele and holding their value was a big question that needed to be answered.  Minichamps’ excellent quality has been noticed by Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Opel, and BMW.
