About the Porsche 718 RS 60 #184 J. Bonnier / H. Herrmann Winner Targa Florio 1960 Spark 1:43
TL;DR: Spark's 1:43 resin replica reproduces car #184, the Porsche 718 RS 60 that won the 1960 Targa Florio outright with Jo Bonnier and Hans Herrmann driving. Sealed resin construction reproduces this specific winning livery with fine, accurate detail, an early landmark result for Porsche in top-level sports car racing.
The Targa Florio's brutal Sicilian mountain roads punished cars and drivers in equal measure, and an outright win there in 1960 gave Porsche real credibility against much larger-engined competition.
Resin Precision on an Early Porsche Racing Victory
The 718 RS 60's open-cockpit, cycle-fendered body was built for lightness rather than outright power, a formula that suited the Targa Florio's tight, twisting road-course layout better than raw horsepower could. Spark's resin construction reproduces car #184's specific number board and body finish for this exact winning entry, holding the RS 60's rounded nose and low windscreen with fine, consistent lines at 1:43. This win came against factory efforts from larger, more powerful marques, and it remains one of Porsche's genuine early landmark results in top-level sports car competition. Sealed construction means no opening panels, but for a historic open-cockpit racer like this, exposed cockpit and dashboard detail generally comes molded into the body itself rather than through hinged access.
An Early Landmark for a Porsche Racing Collection
This model anchors the earliest chapter of Porsche's sports car racing success, well before the 917 and 956 generations that later defined the brand's endurance-racing reputation. Paired with later Porsche racing liveries on the same shelf, it shows how far back that competitive pedigree actually reaches, a genuine 1960 result rather than a retrospective marketing narrative.
