[Vehicle commentary]
--Porsche Works' racing activity, which was last discontinued in 1987.
――In 1988, he participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the final round of the WSPC, Fuji 1000km, but both finished second after Jaguar.
――After that, Porsche itself entered a difficult phase of management, and the expectation of returning to the race under the works system was moving away day by day.
――The 911 GT1 that appeared in 1996 broke that blank.
-As the name suggests, it is a machine developed in accordance with the LM-GT1 class regulations, specifically focusing on the McLaren F1 that was the champion at that time, while diverting the 911 monocoque (cockpit and front section). The vehicle height was lowered by 110 mm, and the rear section newly built with the space frame was equipped with a 3.2 liter flat 6 twin turbo unit in the midship.
――In the same year, he won the GT1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
--The 911 GT1 has been improved almost every year and is competing in the three seasons of 1996, 1997 and 1998, but in 1996 it was a Porsche 993 style front mask, and from 1997 to 1998 it had the same design as the 996 and Boxster. It features a headlight.

[Model explanation]
――Our 911 GT1 which has been developing variations of both 1996 and 1997 models by making race cars and public road specifications separately.
――This time, we reproduced the test car that appeared on the circuit in 1996.
――The most important point is the body with carbon fiber that is unpainted in the actual car, but since our model is made of resin, carbon pattern decals are pasted on the entire body without gaps to reproduce the carbon fiber.
――It takes time and effort to paste the decal on the curved surface, but the skill of the craftsman is the key to making it adhere to each part without wrinkles.
――It takes a little over 4 hours for one craftsman to apply the decal, but the clear coating is applied on top of it.
――The clear coating is applied instead of leaving the decal on, not only because it prevents the decal from deteriorating, but also because we value the uniformity of the body surface and the cleanliness of the finish.
--Proportions faithful to the actual vehicle are realized by closely interviewing the actual vehicle at the Porsche Museum, aiming for the definitive version of the 911 GT1 with wheels that combine a highly rounded aluminum rim and a white metal disc. It is only one.
