About the Porsche 917/10 Rinzler Motoracing #23 C. Kemp Can-Am Watkins Glen 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/10 reproduces Charlie Kemp's Rinzler Motoracing car from the 1973 Can-Am round at Watkins Glen. Diecast construction gives this turbocharged Can-Am racer real weight and opening features, documenting an era when Porsche's factory-backed turbo program reshaped North American road racing.

Can-Am's almost unrestricted technical rules produced some of the most powerful sports racing cars ever built, and Porsche's turbocharged 917/10 sat near the top of that list, a factory-derived weapon that reshaped how American road racing thought about horsepower.

Diecast Weight for a Genuinely Heavy-Hitting Racer

Minichamps builds this 917/10 in zinc alloy diecast, and the density in hand suits a car whose real-world reputation was built on raw power rather than delicacy. The engine cover lifts to expose the turbocharged flat-12 layout underneath, a mechanical feature diecast construction handles more convincingly than a sealed resin equivalent at this scale. Rinzler Motoracing's livery and Kemp's racing number are applied with sharp tampo printing, and the 917/10's wide rear haunches and low, purposeful stance read clearly at 1:18.

Watkins Glen and Porsche's Can-Am Turbo Program

Porsche's works-supported turbo program dominated Can-Am in the early 1970s, and independent teams like Rinzler Motoracing ran factory-derived cars against the series' best-funded operations at circuits like Watkins Glen, one of American road racing's most storied venues. The Can-Am series gave engineers a rare amount of freedom, and Porsche used that freedom to bring turbocharging to sports car racing years before it became common in Formula 1.

Displayed alongside other Can-Am liveries from the same seasons, this Rinzler 917/10 documents the turbo era at its most unrestrained, a genuine centerpiece for any American road-racing shelf.
