Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 959 in Black gives Porsche's landmark 1980s supercar its most understated factory finish.

About the Porsche 959 Black Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 959 in Black reproduces Porsche's twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive supercar from 1987. Black paint hides panel lines that lighter finishes reveal more readily, so judging this build means checking shut lines under direct light rather than relying on shadow contrast alone.

A black finish is often the hardest test of a diecast manufacturer's paint and panel work, since flaws that a lighter color would hide in reflected glare tend to stand out starkly against a dark, glossy surface.

Judging Panel Fit on a Black Finish

Black paint amplifies every imperfection in shut lines and panel gaps, since the lack of color variation removes the visual distraction a metallic or lighter finish provides. Minichamps' 959 holds up under that scrutiny, with consistent gaps around the doors, hood, and rear engine cover, and a deep, even gloss that shows the flared wheel arches and integrated rear light bar with real clarity when lit from an angle. The zinc alloy construction gives the model the expected weight, and the vented rear cover opens to reveal the flat-six and the all-wheel-drive hardware that made the 959 mechanically distinctive among its 1980s supercar peers. Black also happens to be one of the more understated choices Porsche offered on the original car, a contrast to the wilder color combinations more commonly associated with the era's supercars.

The 959's Enduring Reputation

Born from a cancelled Group B rally program, the 959 emerged as a road car years ahead of its contemporaries technically, with computer-managed all-wheel drive and twin-turbocharging that few rivals could match at the time. Its low original production numbers have kept genuine examples extremely scarce, and that scarcity is exactly why a well-built scale reproduction carries real weight for collectors who study the model rather than the auction market.

This Black example completes the trio alongside the Grey Metallic and White Metallic 959 variants, giving a collector the option to display the same landmark supercar across three genuinely different finish characters.
