Hasegawa 20563 1/24 Porsche 944 Turbo Racing (1987 Porsche Turbo Cup Winner)

Model Kit

The Porsche 944 Turbo Racing (1987 Porsche Turbo Cup Winner) represents the height of Porsches one-make racing series that showcased the performance of its front-engine turbocharged sports car. Built from the 944 Turbo (951), the race-prepared version featured a 2.5L turbocharged inline-four tuned for reliability and speed, paired with a stripped-down, lightweight chassis and upgraded suspension. In 1987, the Turbo Cup highlighted close competition between professional and privateer drivers across Europe and Canada, with the winning car proving the 944 Turbos balance of power, handling, and durability. As the champion of that season, the 1987 Turbo Cup winner cemented the 944s reputation as one of the most capable and underrated racing Porsches of its era.
