8:57 *Since you're asking,* the story behind this car is actually worthy of a movie 🍿 I'll TRY to keep this brief 👇... First, some context for the uninitiated: The 935 was a model of racecar that Porsche produced from '76-'78 for *Group 5* (see the blue sticker), which was the top level for production cars in the FIA World Championship of Makes (predecessor to today's WEC). Group 5's then-new rulebook was notoriously loose, with odd regulations that mandate the car's silhouette should merely _resemble_ its production car, allowing for highly modified engines, bodywork, and underlying chassis. What resulted was like Group B but sports cars-flamethrowing turbos, box fenders, and giant aero over *_tube-frame chassis..._* "Poduction cars" in name only. Group 5 was bonkers, and would soon inspire Japan's bosuzoku car scene. But I digress... This variant of the 935, the "K3", was a 935 modified by privateer team Kremer Racing, with custom bodywork by collaborator DP Motorsport (logo on fender)... Now, where the story gets interesting, begins with the first driver names on that windowsill. The *Whittington Brothers* came from a background of airplane racing, but down on tarmac they were mere "gentlemen drivers," i.e. self-financed non-professional drivers, that persuaded the Kremers-also brothers-to let them drive their car at LeMans... How? By asking the Kremers to _name their price_ for the car. Kremer's response, in 1979 dollars, was 200k, so $200k the Whittingtons paid... _in CASH._ Who carries that kind of cash? Well, see, the Whittingtons made their fortune in smuggling Marij×××a. And a big fortune, at that. Back home in the States, they owned a racetrack called *Road Atlanta,* which they'd bought because, of all the tracks in the US, it had the longest _straight..._ which they used as a _landing strip_ for their aforementioned planes to unload and load illicit cargo... Back to the race, this victory marked the first time in over 25 years that a production car clinched the _overall_ win at LeMans (beating the prototype cars above it in Group 6), and one of just a handful of times in history when a privateer beat the factories. After that, everybody wanted a Kremer Porsche, and Kremer's "K" series of cars continued to dominate Group 5 until 1982, when the FIA would finally sober up and replace Groups 5 and 6 with Group C. As for the car itself, it quickly ended up in a museum, when in 1980 the Whittington brothers went to prison, convicted of smuggling $78M of contraband into the US from South America. Roll credits.

The White one is amazing. Gooo kaido House ❤❤❤

I just got the poprace model today. How do you open the engine bay, I damaged the paint a bit trying to open it.

Awesome casting 😍🔥🔥

You know what more dumb is? They are going to release 2 more Regera variants and both doesn't have these 3 spoke rims 🗿 I know those 2 cars based on real car models but it would be even better if they release 2 Regera with both varient on rims. I have to buy one anyway cuz other brands Koenigsegg are super expensive in India. Ohh also the thing you saw behind Regera is not the real exhaust haha it's something to cool down the battery. Real exhaust of regera are those fins either sides

After watching this review, I ended up with both R33! I've subscribed and sub to your channel.

I absolutely love this car not just because of the model but also the crazy story behind it, I prepared a display background in ppt using the old photos of the car, the drivers, the red and orange stripes that tarmac uses, and the story which goes like this: Don, Bill, and Dale Whittington are brothers from Texas who had a passion for racing, not just for car racing but also for airplane racing. The family owned their plane company which made them able to fund their operation. In 1979, they decided to race in 24 Hours of Le Mans under Kremer Racing, which was a company that modified Porsche 934s to 935 K3s to make them absolute monsters. Don and Bill paid 25.000$ each to take part in the race along with the professional driver of the team Klaus Ludwig, but they had one concern which was the order of the drivers. Le Mans is an endurance race and you need to finish first to win the race. Whittington brothers wanted to drive before Klaus Ludwig since he could crash and all the money dumped from the brothers would be trashed. Kremer Racing said that it would only be possible if they bought the car totally and priced it at 200.000$. Whittington brothers didn’t hesitate and told them to get the money from the trailer and not a single penny more. On qualifying day Ludwig put the car in P3 which is an awesome position for a production car. The weather was rainy on the race day, which put the prototype cars like Porsche 936s, Lola T298s, and Chevron B36s in a disadvantageous position due to not having windshields. Bill started the race without a problem and over the heavy rainy night Ludwig created a big gap to the other competitors but in the morning when Don was behind the wheel, the cambelt ripped. Bill came up with a genius plan to hide a cambelt in a sandwich bag to help his brother change it to finish the race. The leader of the race #70 Porsche had an engine issue in the last laps which made the Whittington brothers one of two production car winners of Le Mans in its history. Whittington brothers were judged and then sentenced for smuggling marijuana from Columbia to Florida with their planes and their racing circuit Road Atlanta. This car is probably the craziest car to win Le mans ever. We have only two production cars to win Le mans against prototypes which are this one and the Mclaren F1. Also the Whittington brothers really put a weird dynamic to it which I don't support but still made things interesting. There are other details I know about them and the race I can share it later. English is not my native so there can be mistakes in my writing and still I had limited space to write I couldn't write everything in a proper way but overall it is my best display and this car is just at my right shelve which I look hundred times a day 😂

This and the TPC ice blue completes the regera duo for me. Unless there is HKM or any other better detailed models these would be fine enough

I wanna see more Ageras honestly Also I’m getting the Street Warriors Hoonitruck!

That looks very nice indeed. Hopefully we’ll see some of these more widely available.

Love these models

Vacay Photo Presentation to the class is required when you get back 🔫

Would you suggest the cm model utopia over this?

I am fan of “Hyundai N” line. Have both the model in my collection in their signature Performance Blue color, looks cool, simple and elegant.

Bro is it metal? Plz reply

Fantastic review, @Booster_Diecast! The Tarmac Works Porsche 935 K3 - 1979 Le Mans Winner is an absolute gem, and you did an excellent job highlighting its details. Your passion for diecast models truly shines through in this video. Keep up the great work! 🚗✨”

I got that one too, great car!

Really cool car! Have a nice Vaca booster!

Круто 👍

my roller head is not satisfied, will get the tarmac works x minichamp colab one 1976 #40 Martini

I personally think that after the 1960s Le Mans races, the GTE started to appear and LMP kinda still stayed dominant but devolved in there design and style

Get the trio, especially the Apple Computers ones, its superb

Guys, can you explain me. Exactly the same models are sold on aliexpress, but on the box, where the big inscription "EVA R" is, there is the XCARTOYS logo, and the inscription "EVA R" is moved closer to the center. Tell me, is it fake? (because they are sold at the same price as those reviewed on UA-cam). P.S. Sorry for my English, I used a translator :)

Wow! Super cool Porsche! I like Tarmak for the detail of the models. I have Schumacher's Mercedes 190e, it has great detailing!

Dam that thing is beutiful

Cheapest I could find this for was 21 usd. I love the MC12 but not sure if this model is worth the price cause it doesn't seem incredibly detailed or at the very least offer a display case. I can usually get 2 mini gts for the same price.

The white color is pretty mid on the car it doesn’t suit a lambo man the other colors are much better

I personally like the base model of the SVJ because it looks so clean and aerodynamic

Altought I prefer the coupe version, definetely the design of the roadsters of nowadays is also very attractive.

I bought 10 of this svj soec when they first released , now they're gone up in value.

Good point, MiniGT seems to push their production and gain more customer through event or anything like that, and yet they're fall behind from quality control. I've seen so many people complain about Mini GT issues, and that's makes me quite hesitate to buy my very first Mini GT. These item aren't cheap, and yet customer got sub quality product

Why is mini gt quality so bad? I've just opened my bugatti divo and i saw its spoiler immediately almost nearly to split and have scratch some of its paint😢

Mini gt did a really great job with every single Lamborghini so far. I really hope they do something about Koenigsegg as well 🤌🏻 A while ago I got my first Tarmac works Koenigsegg cc850 and the casting is really beautiful. Only downside was there's no carbon fiber detailing for global 64 I guess. But the casting of that car is really beautiful you should check them out as well

Not a bad casting, despite the plastic bottom. Beautiful Ferrari!

Beautiful set, and a great review. Thanks!

I would go for 1/43 bburago version of this ferrari & it's slightly better.

@Booster_Diecast thank you very much for your kind words 😄. It is a pleasure for me to make a small contribution with your channel. In this big world as you all know for this hobby there are many questions, models, diecast events, mainly in Asia and sometimes we have to wait for a release in our country that does not coincide in time with the release in another country. I think there is great expectation with Ferrari models, mainly since Kyosho and HotWheels (although it plays in another league) stopped making these models (at least the street models). Now BBR is releasing models and we have to wait anxiously for that moment. However, it is good for everyone to have alternatives to choose from, since there is no perfect model. In fact the review of the Porsche 911 GT3 in your last video is an example of this. I bought this model from Italy using an app for selling and buying mainly in France, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. Maybe the price is high but the model comes with a magazine (at least in Itaaly) and does a reason to pay more. Besides, it´s an official product and probably the license it´s more expensive. We have to noticed that it´s a modelcar collection available only in we called "kiosko" in which you can buy newspapers, magazines, and hundreds of thousands collections that every year flooded the "kiosko" with an very wide type of collectables. Normally we bought out gummies in diecast shops, or online shops related to diecast/car but not in Kioskos...

love his opinions about not buying non-licensed diecast products. +1 sub

Very nice, wish it was a bit cheaper….

For that price it’s better to just wait for bbrs tbh

👑 Jose

I wanna see fire 1:64 Ferraris

There are many modelcar collections with magazines in Europe that are actually sold in convenience stores and new issues are released every two weeks for example

Now I cant wait for BBR to release this in red.

Both are great models. Both are great models. You can´t go wrong choosing either of them. I would choose also the Mini GT version. It´s nice this video comparing two same models from different brands.

The RS6 Wagon is amazing. Here in Germany I ve seen pretty amount of them in many colors. It´s the best sports car with a great trunk for put into it hundreds of 1:64 scale models 😍 Though I prefer the regular RS6 version, I am thinking in buy a dark blue ABT
