Le Mans-inspired circuit and 19 vintage slot cars
This is amazing.
When I glanced at the article that a Porsche 917 replica was put up for auction, I thought it was an elaborate mock.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn't like that.
Well, this Porsche 917 pops open.
Even if you say it pops open, it's "Eh?" (laughs).
I was like, "Huh?"
But this Porsche 917 pops open and has a circuit inside.
A circuit inspired by the Circuit de Sarthe/24 Hours of Le Mans has been created inside the car. I'm not sure if the word "inside the car" is correct (laughs).
The circuit installed inside is said to be about 3.9m x 1.8m in size, and although it looks like a reproduction of Le Mans, the actual shape is the Suzuka Circuit short track that draws an S-shaped curve. are said to be similar.
It seems that the circuit surface is hand-painted, and it is said that it is a work that is very lovingly stuck to detail.
Various brand signboards on the circuit are also reproduced.
It seems that 19 slot cars are included, and you can actually run this circuit.
GT40, Ferrari 512 Coda Lunga, Lola T70, Porsche 917 and more.
The mock Porsche 917 body that houses this circuit is made of composite material, with an exhaust pipe and transmission case at the rear.
The trees that you can see casually are cute ^^
The brakes and headlights also work.
Just press the button to open the car body. The body is said to open electrically. That's pretty amazing.
Here is a very nice piece of work,what was auctionedHowever, the successful bid price is $205,000, which is about 27 million yen in Japanese yen.
It's quite an amount, but I think it's amazing, so if there is a place to put it, I'm convinced that there are people who want to own it ^ ^
Here is a video where you can see how the 917 actually opens electrically and the slot car running on the circuit (4:43)↓
