About the Porsche 904 GTS #50 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 Porsche 904 GTS #50 diecast reproduces the 1964 race car with opening doors. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage. An important early Porsche GT racer that bridged road-legal design with genuine competition success.
The 904 GTS was one of the last Porsches to combine road-legal usability with genuine racing pedigree, and Minichamps' #50 livery honors that dual purpose directly.
Minichamps' Diecast Approach to the 904's Shape
The body carries real weight, and the paint holds a period-correct finish that captures the 904's low, angular fiberglass-inspired bodywork, one of the more distinctive shapes in Porsche's early competition history. Doors open to reveal a stripped, purposeful cabin true to a genuine racer rather than a road car's comfort-focused interior. The racing number 50 and associated livery details are applied with clean registration across the car's flat body panels. This copy is a used model, so light shelf wear is to be expected on close inspection; the box shows traces of storage, though the casting itself presents well.
The 904 GTS as a Turning Point for Porsche
Introduced in the mid-1960s, the 904 GTS used a fiberglass body bonded to a steel platform chassis, a construction method that kept weight low while meeting homologation rules requiring road-legal production numbers. It proved highly competitive in GT racing during its short production run, helping establish Porsche's reputation for building race-ready cars that ordinary enthusiasts could technically drive on public roads.
Anchoring a Historic Porsche Racing Collection
At 1:18, the 904's low, wide body measures around 21cm, sitting well alongside later Porsche endurance racers on a themed shelf. Its opening doors invite closer inspection of the stripped-out cabin, a detail that helps distinguish this genuine competition history from Porsche's more comfort-oriented road cars of the same period.
