About the Porsche 917K Martini #4 V. Elford / G. Van Lennep 24 Hours of Daytona 1971 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 917K #4 carries the Martini Racing livery from the 1971 24 Hours of Daytona, with opening doors, hood and trunk. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A landmark endurance prototype.

The Martini Racing 917K's swirling psychedelic livery is arguably the most recognizable paint scheme in endurance racing history, and this Daytona entry wore an early version of it.

AUTOart's Diecast Rendering of the 917K

The zinc alloy body carries the weight expected of a serious prototype replica, and the doors, hood and trunk all open to reveal the spartan, purpose-built cockpit and rear engine bay that defined the 917's engineering. Panels settle where released rather than dropping shut, useful given how much of the 917's low, curved bodywork is visible once the doors are lifted. The Martini livery's swirling color bands demand precise registration, since any drift between colors reads immediately on a shape this curved, and this casting holds those lines cleanly across the compound curves of the body. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage; the casting itself carries no separate condition note, so the piece is worth examining directly rather than assuming showroom-fresh condition.

The 917K and Daytona's Place in Endurance History

The Porsche 917 dominated early 1970s endurance racing after regulatory changes opened the door to its enormous engine, and the shortened "K" tail improved high-speed stability enough to make it a genuine winner rather than just a fast curiosity. Vic Elford, one of the era's most versatile drivers, and Gerard Van Lennep campaigned this car at Daytona, a round that tested reliability as much as outright speed across twenty-four grueling hours.

Anchoring a Prototype Racing Collection
