About the Porsche 917/10 #2 W. Kauhsen Interserie 300km Nurburgring Winner 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Willi Kauhsen's number 2 Porsche 917/10, winner of the 300km Interserie round at Nurburgring in 1973. Diecast construction and accurate period sponsor livery mark one of the turbocharged 917's European racing appearances outside Can-Am, suited to an endurance racing shelf.

The 917/10 is best remembered for terrorizing North American Can-Am grids, but Europe had its own turbocharged prototype series in Interserie, and Kauhsen's team ran the car there with real success.

Reproducing a Turbocharged Prototype in Diecast

Bodywork Scale and Livery Registration

The 917/10's long tail and wide rear bodywork, shaped around a turbocharged flat-12 that produced far more power than the naturally aspirated original 917, is a demanding subject for panel accuracy at 1:18. Minichamps keeps the proportions correct through the tail section and rear wing mounting, with the period sponsor livery registered cleanly across the sidepods. The number 2 sits correctly sized on the nose and doors, matching the car's Nurburgring-winning configuration rather than a generic Can-Am scheme.

Diecast Construction for an Open-Cockpit Prototype

The zinc alloy body gives the model a solid, dense feel distinct from the lighter resin sports prototypes some specialists produce for similarly rare subjects. Cockpit detail includes a molded roll structure and seat, visible through the open canopy that these prototypes ran instead of a closed greenhouse. Wheel arch fill from the wide period tires reads correctly, an important detail on a car whose stance was as much a part of its character as its power.

Kauhsen, Interserie, and the Turbocharged 917

Europe's Own Turbo Prototype Series

Interserie ran alongside Can-Am as Europe's equivalent big-power prototype championship through the early 1970s, giving turbocharged cars like the 917/10 a competitive home outside North America once Porsche's works Can-Am effort wound down. Willi Kauhsen's team fielded the car with genuine competitiveness, and the Nurburgring 300km win this model marks is a specific, documented result rather than a generic season livery.

A Prototype Between Two Racing Worlds

The 917/10 sits at an interesting crossing point in Porsche's competition history, built for Can-Am's power-unlimited rules but also finding success in a European series with its own character and grids. That dual identity is part of what makes a European-context Interserie livery a more distinctive choice than the Can-Am liveries most collectors reach for first.

Placing a 1973 Prototype on an Endurance Shelf

Scale and Collection Fit

At 1:18, a long-tail prototype like the 917/10 runs close to 26 centimeters, among the longer subjects a collector will fit into a standard cabinet row, and its wide rear bodywork needs a touch more depth than a compact touring car. Minichamps has covered Porsche's 917 family across multiple liveries and series, and this Interserie-specific release sits at a standard price point rather than chasing the scarcity premium some Can-Am liveries command. It rewards a buyer building a 917 family collection who wants the European chapter alongside the more familiar American one.
