1:24 Beemax 24036 Porsche 935 Turbo No.70 1979 Le Mans Class Winner - German Race Car Plastic Model kit

A bright red Porsche, the famous Hawaiian Tropic racing livery and Hollywood star Paul Newman behind the wheel: the number 70 Porsche 935 Turbo secured a special place in the history of the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the Beemax 24036, you can recreate this legendary German racing car as a detailed plastic model kit in 1:24 scale. Its imposing wide bodywork, low front end, prominent rear wing and distinctive racing markings capture the spectacular appearance of a genuine Group 5 racing car. A particularly appealing subject for enthusiasts of classic Porsches and historic endurance racing.

The Porsche 935 was developed in 1976 from the Porsche 911 Turbo and became one of the most successful racing cars of its generation. Thanks to its powerful turbocharged engine, extensive aerodynamic modifications and outstanding performance, the model dominated international GT racing for several years. At the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans, Dick Barbour Racing entered its number 70 Porsche 935 with drivers Dick Barbour, Rolf Stommelen and actor Paul Newman. Despite extremely demanding conditions, including heavy rain and technical difficulties, the team finished second overall and secured victory in the IMSA class. This remarkable achievement made the striking Porsche one of the most memorable competitors in the legendary endurance race.

Beemax has carefully recreated the 1979 Porsche 935 Turbo, paying particular attention to its distinctive bodywork and racing-specific details. The model features a detailed racing cockpit with roll cage, carefully reproduced chassis components and recognisable elements of the engine installation. Wide wheel arches, a low nose and a large rear wing give the car its imposing appearance, while the included decals reproduce the authentic Hawaiian Tropic sponsor markings and famous number 70. Characteristic racing wheels and rubber tyres further enhance the realistic finish. Display the completed Porsche as a standalone model or create a historic Le Mans scene with suitable pit lane accessories and figures.
