The Porsche 911, a legend born in 1963
Launched in September 1963 at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the Porsche 911 immediately revolutionized the world of sports cars. Designed under the direction of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the founder's grandson, it was initially meant to replace the 356 while marking a major stylistic break.
Its unique architecture with the rear-mounted air-cooled six-cylinder engine, its distinctive line, and its remarkable space for a sports car quickly make it a reference. From its earliest years, it imposed itself on tracks and roads, laying the foundations for a lineage that endures to this day.
The commercial success was immediate and lasting. The 911 quickly became the symbol of Porsche and one of the most desired sports cars in the world, with over a million units produced to date in its various evolutions.
Porsche, the excellence of German sports
Founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, the Stuttgart brand quickly established itself as a reference in automotive engineering. In the 1960s, when designing the 911, Porsche solidified its reputation as a manufacturer capable of combining performance with everyday usability.
This period marks a decisive turning point for the brand. After the success of the 356, Porsche bets everything on the 911 to secure its future. The gamble is bold: to create a more modern, more powerful car while retaining the unique DNA that has made the brand successful. The history of the Porsche collection is thus written around this now-legendary silhouette.
The legacy of Ferdinand Porsche thus continues through this creation that transcends generations, firmly establishing the brand as a symbol of German sporting excellence.
The 911 anecdote: when Peugeot almost changed history
Few people know it, but the Porsche 911 could have never carried that name. Originally, it was supposed to be called "901," following Porsche's internal numbering logic. The first prototypes, commercial brochures, and even the first production cars proudly bore this designation.
But that was without counting on Peugeot and its rights on central zero numbering. The French manufacturer, which was already using this type of nomenclature for its models (203, 403, 404...), contested the use of "901" by Porsche. Lawyers got involved, and Ferdinand Alexander Porsche quickly had to find a solution.
The solution was as simple as it was effective: replace the zero with a one. Thus, the "911" was born, a name that resonates today as a given but which resulted from a pure legal coincidence. This anecdote perfectly illustrates how the greatest automotive legends can sometimes owe their existence to the most unexpected circumstances.
Ironically, this legal constraint gave birth to one of the most iconic names in automotive history, far more memorable than the sober "901." A perfect example of how obstacles can sometimes lead to the greatest successes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
