About the Porsche 935 #20 J. Ickx 3rd World Sports Car Championship 1976 Werk83 1:18
TL;DR: Werk83's 1:18 diecast Porsche 935 #20 reproduces Jacky Ickx's 1976 entry, a season that ended third in the World Sports Car Championship, as a sealed, one-piece body casting. It represents Porsche's dominant Group 5 silhouette-racing era.
The 935 turned Group 5 regulations into an opportunity, taking the 911 platform and stretching its bodywork into something barely recognizable as road-derived, and this Ickx-driven car captures that transformation in its 1976 form.
A Flared Silhouette Body in Sealed Form
With no opening panels, the 935's dramatically widened fenders and low front splitter read as one continuous, uninterrupted shape, letting the silhouette-racing bodywork's aggressive flares show as deliberate sculpture rather than assembled panels. Werk83's zinc alloy casting carries genuine weight, and the livery's number 20 and period sponsor graphics are applied with clean registration across the widened flanks. The low, slab-sided profile that defined Group 5 racing comes through clearly in the model's proportions, a shape that still looks extreme decades later.
A Documented Season for a Porsche Racing Archive
Jacky Ickx's name carries genuine weight among endurance and sports car racing historians, and tying this casting to his specific 1976 championship season gives it real standing beyond a generic 935 livery. Displayed within a Group 5 and silhouette racing collection, this car sits alongside the era's most extreme factory-backed machinery, a genre defined by regulations that let manufacturers reshape road cars almost beyond recognition. For a collector focused on 1970s sports car racing history or building a Porsche 935 variant study, this Ickx entry is a specific, well-documented piece worth real attention.
