Minichamps 1996 1:43rd 1996 Porsche 911 GT1 Stuck, Boutsen, Wollek.

1996 1:43rd Minichamps Porsche 911 GT1 driven by driven by ex F1 drivers Hans-Joachim Stuck, Thierry Boutsen, and also by Bob Wollek. This car finished second in the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans race and first in it's class.

Porsche debuted the 911 GT1 in 1995, announcing that it would compete at the 1996 24 Hours of Le Mans. In spite of its name, the car actually has very little in common with the 911, its floorpan was taken from the 956/962 Group C car. In addition, the GT1 featured a water cooled, twin-turbocharged and intercooled 3.2 L, four valve per cylinder flat-six in a mid-mounted position and making about 600 horsepower. In comparison, the 993 generation 911 GT2, which was otherwise the company's highest-performance vehicle, used an air-cooled engine with only 2-valves per cylinder and mounted in the rear, which is the traditional layout for the 911.

The new vehicle was an outright success at Le Mans, winning the GT1 class at its debut race, although it lost the overall victory to Joest Racing's TWR-Porsche prototype, still a success in that this vehicle used a Porsche powerplant.
