Elevate Your Collection: Limited Edition 1:18 Scale Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Replica Unveiled

Unleash The Thrill Of The Track: Stunning 1:18 Scale Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

This particular model also appears to have the famed Weissach package that helps shed around 49 pounds. On the real car, this is a $13,250 option that adds exposed carbon fiber to the hood, the split side air intakes, the mirrors, and the swan-neck rear wing. The rear windshield also gets Porsche lettering in dark silver. The model car however takes a different approach with the green accents, for the wheels, the Porsche script on the doors the rear windshield, and the GT4 RS badge. I was unable to replicate the green accents and higlights in the official Porsche configurator.

Where an actual GT4 RS equipped with the Weissach package will set you back $182,915 excluding dealer markups, this scale model is a bargain at just $425. To add to it, this is a limited-run model with only 718 examples planned, making it even rarer than the real car. As we know, anything with the name Porsche and limited-run should hold its value over time and continue to remain desirable. The scale model’s exclusivity is further enhanced by the accompanying premium packaging, making it an ideal gift for Porsche aficionados.

Collecting Model Cars Is A Hobby That Can Get Out Of Hand

Depending on whether you’re a casual or a serious collector, Die-cast Model cars are available in a variety of sizes at different price points from both specialists and sometimes automakers themselves. This is a hobby that can quickly get out of hand as it did for this collector who recently sold his entire 300 strong models (mostly Porsches) for $8,000 on B.A.T. The smaller the number the bigger the size and vice-versa. As someone who only recently got into collecting scale models, the 1:18 scale seems to represent the sweet spot for me, offering a perfect balance of detail and displayability.

Porsche currently has eight limited-edition scale models based on the 718, in stock ranging from 1:43 and 1:12, priced between $75 and $1,059. The most expensive model that Porsche currently lists on its website is the 1998 911 GT1 in a 1:8 size. Currently, out of stock, it will set you back a whopping $14,916. Meanwhile, this Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS (982) will be available to order soon.
