About the Porsche 911 993 Almeras GT1 Grey Kess 1:18
TL;DR: Kess's 1:18 resin Porsche 911 993 Almeras GT1 in grey reproduces a rare tuner variant built by Almeras, a specialist French Porsche workshop. Sealed resin construction fits this small-batch, niche subject that mainstream diecast producers rarely touch.
Almeras is a name most casual Porsche collectors have never encountered, which makes a dedicated resin reproduction like this one a genuine discovery rather than another common 993 variant.
A Resin Specialist Suited to a Niche Subject
Kess works in the resin tier of the hobby, a segment built specifically for subjects too niche or too visually complex for mass-market diecast to justify tooling. That approach fits this Almeras GT1 conversion well, since the tuner's specific aerodynamic modifications and GT1-inspired bodywork changes need the sharper shut lines resin construction delivers rather than the wider tolerances diecast hinges require. The grey finish reads as a deliberately understated choice for a car whose real value lies in its documented, hard-to-find modifications rather than a flashy paint job. Being sealed rather than opening is the standard trade for this tier, and it is the right trade for a subject defined almost entirely by exterior bodywork.
Almeras and France's Porsche Tuning Tradition
Almeras Frères built its reputation as a French Porsche specialist workshop, producing modified and competition-oriented 911s that carried the shop's own distinct aerodynamic and mechanical identity beyond factory specification. Their work on air-cooled 911s like the 993 represents a lesser-known but genuinely documented corner of European Porsche tuning history, one that resin specialists like Kess are uniquely positioned to preserve since mainstream diecast rarely justifies covering it.
A Discovery Piece for Serious Porsche Collectors
For collectors who already own the common 993 variants, this Almeras GT1 offers a genuinely obscure, well-researched next step.
