About the Porsche 936/77 #7 H. Haywood / P. Gregg / R. Joest 3rd Place 24 Hours of Le Mans 1978 Werk83 1:18
TL;DR: Werk83's 1:18 diecast Porsche 936/77 #7 reproduces the 1978 Le Mans entry that finished third, driven by Haywood, Gregg, and Joest. The sealed body has no opening panels. This is a new model, box showing traces of storage, documenting a genuine podium result.
A third-place finish at Le Mans against a deep field of factory prototypes is a genuine result, and this #7 entry connects Rolf Stommelen's era of Porsche endurance racing to Reinhold Joest's later privateer success.
Diecast Craftsmanship on a Podium Livery
This casting holds the 936's aerodynamic bodywork as a single sealed shell, letting the livery's numbering and sponsor graphics run cleanly across the flanks without a hinge line to interrupt them. Werk83 applies the tampo detail with tight registration, and the paint reads with real depth under a display lamp, consistent with the standard this manufacturer sets for prototype-era race liveries. As a new model, the casting presents exactly as it left production; only the box shows traces of storage.
A Documented Podium Result
Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg, and Reinhold Joest were among the most accomplished endurance drivers of their generation, and a third-place finish at Le Mans in 1978 stands as a legitimate, verifiable result rather than a livery chosen for looks alone. That documented history gives this specific 936 genuine standing within a Porsche prototype collection. Paired with other 1970s Le Mans entries, it tells a real competitive story rather than a generic racing theme.
