About the Porsche 901 Green CMC 1:18
TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Porsche 901 in green reproduces the original badge name Porsche used before renaming the car 911 following a Peugeot trademark dispute. Opening doors, hood and trunk reveal a detailed cabin and rear engine. Used model; box shows traces of storage, casting intact.
Before it became the most enduring nameplate in sports car history, this design wore the 901 badge for barely a few months in 1964, making surviving examples and faithful replicas alike a small but distinct footnote in Porsche's story.
Diecast Build Quality on a Compact Coupe
The 901's clean, low-drag silhouette leaves little room to hide casting flaws, and this metal body holds its shutlines tight around doors, hood and trunk that all open on integrated hinges rather than glued panels. Lift it from its packaging and the weight registers immediately, a density resin cannot match at this scale. Inside, the cabin carries stitched-look seats and a period dashboard, while the rear-mounted engine sits visible and detailed beneath the trunk lid. This is a used example, so expect the honest marks of prior ownership on close inspection, and the outer box shows traces of storage; neither affects the metal casting itself.
The Badge That Became the 911
Porsche unveiled this design as the 901 at the 1963 Frankfurt show, only to learn that Peugeot held rights to three-digit model numbers with a zero in the middle across France. Rather than fight it, Porsche simply swapped the middle digit to a one, and the 911 name has carried the model line ever since. A 901-badged replica is therefore a genuine curiosity, capturing the exact car before its defining name existed.
Positioning This Model in a Porsche Collection
At roughly 20cm, this coupe's compact footprint fits comfortably alongside later 911 generations, and placing it at the start of a chronological Porsche shelf gives the sequence real narrative weight. Because the doors, hood and trunk all open, pose the model with a panel raised occasionally to show off the detailing rather than leaving it permanently closed. Keep it out of direct sunlight and handle the opening panels at their edges to avoid stressing the hinges over time.
