About the Porsche 917/10 Bosch Kauhsen Team #2 W. Kauhsen Eifelrennen Nürburgring Interserie Winner 1973 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/10 #2 reproduces W. Kauhsen's Bosch-liveried entry that won the 1973 Eifelrennen at Nürburgring in Interserie competition. Diecast construction and period prototype detailing suit collectors building a historic sports prototype or Porsche motorsport shelf.
The 917/10 carried forward the legendary 917's prototype racing DNA into the massively powerful Can-Am and Interserie era, and Willi Kauhsen's own team fielding one at Nürburgring shows just how far that program's influence reached beyond factory efforts.
Diecast Detail on a Wide-Bodied Prototype
The 917/10's dramatically flared bodywork, built to cover enormous racing tires and manage the airflow around a monstrously powerful turbocharged flat-twelve, is rendered here with wide, confident fender lines and a low, purposeful stance. The Bosch Kauhsen Team livery's sponsor graphics and #2 car number are applied with sharp, clean registration across the model's long tail section. Doors, where present on a car this stripped-down, open to reveal a minimalist racing cabin built purely around function. Panel gaps and overall proportions stay faithful to a car whose entire shape was dictated by aerodynamics and cooling requirements rather than styling preference.
Interserie Racing and Kauhsen's Own Team Effort
Interserie racing gave European teams and drivers a Group 7-style outlet similar to America's Can-Am series, and the 917/10 was a natural weapon for it given the platform's proven prototype pedigree. Willi Kauhsen running his own team entry, rather than a pure factory car, reflects how widely Porsche's 917 architecture spread through privateer competition during this period. Winning at the Nürburgring's Eifelrennen in 1973 places this specific chassis within a real, documented result rather than a generic period livery.
A Historic Prototype for a Motorsport Shelf
Alongside factory 917 variants, this Kauhsen entry broadens a Porsche prototype collection with genuine privateer racing history.
