About the Porsche 917K #23 R. Attwood / H. Herrmann 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner 1970 Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 Porsche 917K #23 diecast reproduces Porsche's first outright Le Mans winner from 1970, driven by Attwood and Herrmann. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. This is a new model in original packaging, a cornerstone piece for endurance racing collections.
Few race cars carry the weight this 917K does: it delivered Porsche's first overall Le Mans victory, a result that reshaped the brand's motorsport identity for good.
A Sealed Body Built for Livery Precision
This casting has no opening panels, and that construction choice serves the subject well. The 917K's low, flowing bodywork depends on unbroken surfaces to read correctly, and a fixed shell lets Norev hold tight, continuous shutlines along the doors and rear clamshell without the tolerance gaps an articulated body would introduce. The Gulf-adjacent Salzburg livery and racing numbers are applied with crisp registration, and paint depth under direct light shows the layered decal work needed to reproduce a period race car accurately. Arriving new, with its original box intact, this example presents exactly as Norev shipped it, no handling wear to account for.
The 1970 Le Mans Result That Changed Porsche
Porsche had chased outright Le Mans victory for nearly two decades before the 917K delivered it in 1970, with Richard Attwood and Hans Herrmann sharing driving duties through 24 punishing hours. The win validated the 917's radical, lightweight construction and set the template for Porsche's endurance dominance through the following decades. For a collector building a motorsport chronology, this specific chassis number and livery mark the exact moment Porsche's Le Mans story truly began.
Anchoring an Endurance Racing Collection
At 1:18, the 917K's long tail and low canopy stretch close to 23cm, giving it real shelf presence among period prototypes. Paired with its 1971-winning sibling or other Porsche endurance cars from the same window, it forms the natural spine of a Le Mans-focused display, one where sealed, precisely finished bodywork matters more than opening features ever could.
