Porsche 917K - Gulf Edition
Beaten only by a change in the world championship rules, the Porsche 917K was, for a short time, the most incredible car on the racetrack. It is still one of the most iconic race cars in motorsport history.

The striking Gulf livery is inspired by the car driven by Motorsport legends Derek Bell and Jo Siffert at the 1971 1000km Monza. One of the fastest racing cars of all time, it came second in this race, falling behind its sister Porsche 917K driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver.

Motorsport rules in 1970 dictated that prototype cars should be less than 3L, unless more than 25 of them were built. Porsche accepted this challenge, creating 25 917K prototypes with 4.5 - 5L engines, which instantly made an impact on the racetrack.

The concept was outrageous, built at huge expense not one but 25 Le Mans challengers, thereby qualifying for ‘sports car’ status, sidestepping a 3.0 litre prototype limit.

At a stroke, the resultant 4.5 - 5 litre 917 (the largest capacity air cooled race car ever) rendered its prototype rivals obsolete. Truly one of the most iconic race cars in the history of motorsport. Whilst at first it had been an unwieldy beast, tamed for 1970, it had the measure of its rivals.

For two seasons it trampled its opposition and won world championship race after championship race, including Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, subsequently its speed dubbed as ‘too fast’ at over 240mph lead rule makers to throw out large capacity race cars from endurance racing; at which point it turned its sights to America where it proceeded to shatter its rivals in turbocharged form, cementing its legacy as one of the greatest racing cars of all time.

This livery is the 1971 Gulf liveried 917k, raced by motorsport British legend Derek Bell and Swiss Jo Siffert at the 1000km Monza, where it placed second, only behind its sister Porsche 917k.

The Most Striking Supercar
This is your opportunity to build one of the most recognisable supercars ever. Lamborghini named the Aventador after a famous award-winning fighting bull that captured the imagination of Ferruccio Lamborghini with his incredible courage.

Timeless Appeal
With a shape and functionality inspired by the F-117 Stealth Fighter-jet, this car does everything but fly. The low, wedge shape and raked windscreen mean the Aventador takes up very little space, yet elegance, decadence, and power seem to ooze from every fixing, even when scaled down into 1:8 kit form.

Product Info
Get ready for over 20 hours of kit-building joy. The die-cast body, real rubber tyres, and plastic detailing of this Lamborghini Aventador are all pre-decorated, so all that’s left is to take those 794 pieces and put them together!

The iconic bright yellow of Gaillo Orion makes for the most eye-catching finish. Every single detail of the original car has been faithfully depicted, with the trademark scissor doors and hidden door handles, Y-shaped daytime running lights, and even the nuances of the mighty V12 engine all included.

Measuring 60cm long, 29cm wide, and 15cm tall, this model should be at the centre of any display once you’ve finished making it.

The Lamborghini Aventador is surely the first car that comes to mind when you think of supercars. Filippo Perini designed this powerful machine inspired by military aviation. You can see the influence of the F-117 Stealth Fighter jet in the geometric shape, the wide hexagonal air intake that looks like it could suck up a small dog, and the raked windscreen, which leaves just enough space for driver and passenger.

On the inside are military-grade buttons and switches, including a little red flip-up switch over the power button. This is just like the catch in fighter jets to prevent accidental firing. Factor in the Lamborghini Aventador’s 0-60mph in 2.9-second acceleration and the F1-style pushrod suspension design, and you have a supercar capable of immense power, easily pushing 217mph as its top speed.

Lamborghini made around 750 a year of this highly desirable car, adding to its luxurious, exclusive nature. It was released just weeks before the beatification of Pope John Paul II in a genius marketing move that may or may not have been deliberate. Production ended in 2022, but we’re bringing it back in 1.8 scale model form.
