About the Porsche 917/10 #6 Team Penske M. Donohue 2nd Place Can-Am Mosport 1972 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces the #6 Team Penske Porsche 917/10 driven by Mark Donohue to second place at the 1972 Can-Am race at Mosport. A result from the Penske and Porsche partnership that came to define Can-Am's turbocharged era.
Mark Donohue's name carries genuine weight in American racing history, and his work developing Porsche's Can-Am turbo program alongside Roger Penske's team shaped how that entire era of racing is remembered.
A Factory-Backed Livery, Faithfully Reproduced
Team Penske's distinctive livery on the 917/10 carries a cleaner, more corporate presentation than many of the era's privateer entries, and Minichamps reflects that polish in the graphic precision applied across the model's flared, wide-bodied Can-Am shape. The rear wing and bulging arches built to cover the car's wide racing tires come through clearly on the diecast body, and opening panels reveal the cabin detail behind the roll cage. Weight and finish sit at the standard the range holds throughout its 917/10 liveries, giving this Penske car genuine shelf presence.
Donohue and Porsche's Turbo Can-Am Program
Donohue's development work with Porsche's turbocharged flat-12 helped turn the 917/10, and later the even more powerful 917/30, into the dominant force of Can-Am's final competitive years. A second-place finish at Mosport still represents serious competitiveness within a program that regularly won outright. For a collection built around Can-Am's turbocharged period, a Penske-liveried Donohue car sits among the most historically significant entries available, tied directly to the partnership that defined the series' late peak.
