1 / 6
Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 908/02 Spyder #6 recreates Rudi Lins and Richard Attwood's entry at the demanding 1969 Nürburgring 1000km, the open-bodied variant Porsche fielded on tighter circuits. Zinc alloy construction with correct spyder proportions suits a shelf tracing Porsche's late-1960s prototype racing program ahead of the 917 era.

About the Porsche 908/02 Spyder #6 K. Lins / R. Attwood Nürburgring 1000km 1969 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 908/02 Spyder reproduces car #6, driven by Lins and Attwood at the 1969 Nürburgring 1000km. Open-bodied spyder proportions and zinc alloy construction capture Porsche's prototype racing program just ahead of the 917's arrival.

The Nürburgring's old circuit rewarded a light, agile prototype more than raw top speed. Porsche answered with an open body instead of the closed coupe it used elsewhere.

An Open-Bodied Prototype in Diecast

Spyder Proportions and Panel Detail

Minichamps captures the 908/02's low, open cockpit and short overhangs accurately, distinct from the closed 908 coupe bodywork used on faster circuits where the roof helped aerodynamic stability. The #6 race number and period sponsor markings are applied with clean registration, and the exposed cockpit surround shows a simplified roll hoop and bucket seat detail appropriate to the price tier.

Zinc Alloy Construction on a Lightweight Racer

The real 908/02 was built as light as regulations allowed, and the diecast model naturally carries more weight than the original ever did. That trade-off comes with the benefit of opening panels and durability the sealed resin alternative could not match, a fair exchange for a subject meant to survive years of handling on a display shelf.

Porsche's Prototype Program Before the 917

Open Bodywork for Twisty Circuits

Porsche ran the 908 in both open spyder and closed coupe configurations depending on the circuit, choosing the lighter, more agile open body for tighter tracks like the Nürburgring and Targa Florio, and reserving the aerodynamically optimized coupe for faster venues. This flexibility reflected Porsche's methodical approach to prototype racing in the years just before the 917 arrived and changed the conversation entirely.

Lins and Attwood at the 1969 1000km

Richard Attwood, who would win Le Mans outright the following year in a 917, co-drove this 908/02 with Rudi Lins at the 1969 Nürburgring 1000km, one of the many entries that built Porsche's reputation for depth across its prototype lineup rather than relying on a single hero car.

Placing a 908 Ahead of the 917 Story

This model works best as a prelude piece in a Porsche prototype collection, the car that shows what came immediately before the 917 rewrote the record books. At roughly 22 centimeters, the spyder's open cockpit displays with more visible mechanical character than a closed coupe of similar length. Check the rear wing shape and the fender line against reference photos to judge accuracy, since 908 variants changed subtly across the 1968 and 1969 seasons. Set beside a 917, this 908/02 shows the design lineage that led directly to Porsche's most famous endurance racer.
