About the Porsche 917/10 Kauhsen Racing #2 W. Kauhsen Nurburgring Interserie 1974 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast recreates the Porsche 917/10 fielded by Willi Kauhsen's own team at the 1974 Nurburgring Interserie round. The turbocharged prototype's wide bodywork and tall rear wing are captured in zinc alloy, a niche entry for collectors tracking Porsche's turbo racing program beyond Can-Am.

The 917/10 pushed turbocharged output well past what naturally aspirated prototypes of the period could match, and Interserie racing gave European teams a formula close to America's Can-Am series to run cars like it.

Capturing the 917/10's Wide-Bodied Prototype Shape

The 917/10's bodywork is dramatically wider than the earlier long-tail 917 endurance cars, built to cover fatter tires and manage the airflow around a turbocharged flat-12. Minichamps reproduces the flared rear haunches and the tall, flat rear wing mounted high above the engine cover, details that define the car's stance far more than any single badge or number panel. The zinc alloy build gives the wide-bodied shape real weight in the hand, and the cockpit opening shows the sparse, function-first interior typical of an open-formula prototype rather than a road-derived GT car. Livery on a privateer-run car like Kauhsen's own entry tends to be simpler than a factory scheme, and the model's paint holds a clean, even finish across the large uninterrupted body panels where flaws would be most visible.

Interserie and the Turbo Prototype Era

Willi Kauhsen ran his own team through the mid-1970s, fielding ex-factory and privateer 917s in Interserie after Porsche's works effort had largely moved on. The series gave turbocharged prototypes like the 917/10 a home once international sports car rules changed, and it remained a proving ground for turbo technology that would later filter into Porsche's road-going 911 Turbo program. This is a specialist subject rather than a mainstream one, appealing most to collectors already following Porsche's 917 family or the wider turbo-prototype story of the 1970s.

Displayed alongside other 917 variants or period turbo prototypes, this Kauhsen entry adds a distinct livery and a lesser-known chapter of the 917's long competition life to a themed Porsche shelf.
