Hello Porsche and Speed Champions fans,

Porsche 906 aka Carrera 6 is a street-legal racing car from Porsche. It was announced in January 1966 and 50 examples were subsequently produced, thus meeting the homologation requirements of the FIA’s new Group 4 Sports Car category to the number. The type would also compete in modified form in the Group 6 Sports Prototype class. For the year of the car’s debut in 1966, it achieved numerous victories. The main inspiration came from a plastic toy car which I received as a child.

It is a studless build in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. I wanted to create a sleek model which is as accurate as possible in this small scale. I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and therefore only a standard vehicle registration plate sticker is used.

My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. The model contains lots of details: for example the emblematic front, the side view mirrors, the side air intakes etc. . Maybe the most challenging one was the iconic headlight,  lots of solutions were tested before the final one. I tried to fill every unnecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used.

The yellow parts in the inventory and in parts list files may be replaced by any colors, because they are not or not so visible (for example: they are visible only in side view between the wheel and mudguard). However, for the best result I suggest to use black or red parts in the most cases. The 2pcs of parts 4081a (Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment – Thin Ring) have to be exactly what they are and can be used in any color.

The model has space for one minifigure. I suggest to use a helmet or small hair. The instructions and parts list files do not contain the minifigure shown on the pictures.

I hope you enjoy the build and the car. Many thanks for your support!
