About the Porsche 804 #30 D. Gurney French Grand Prix 1962 AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 804 #30 reproduces Dan Gurney's car from the 1962 French Grand Prix, Porsche's only win as an outright Formula 1 constructor. Opening panels reveal the flat-eight engine. This is a used example, box showing traces of storage. A rare and significant slice of F1 history.
Porsche's flirtation with Formula 1 in the early 1960s produced exactly one constructor win, and this Rouen-Les-Essarts result with Dan Gurney at the wheel is the entirety of that story.
AUTOart's Detail on Porsche's Only F1 Win
The slim, cigar-shaped body typical of early-1960s Formula 1 cars is rendered with clean, accurate proportions on the zinc alloy chassis, and the number 30 livery holds sharp, legible registration. Opening panels expose the flat-eight engine that powered Porsche's brief F1 effort, a genuinely unusual configuration worth seeing up close rather than hidden under a sealed body. The model's weight and finish hold up to close inspection despite the era's comparatively simple bodywork. This is a used example, and the box shows traces of storage while the casting itself remains sound.
A Singular Result in Porsche's Racing History
Porsche is known today for endurance racing success, not Formula 1, which makes this specific result an outlier worth highlighting rather than glossing over. Set alongside Porsche's later Le Mans and endurance cars, this 804 tells a different, shorter chapter, and its rarity as a subject makes it a genuine conversation piece on any vintage motorsport shelf.
