Porsche 911 Surfboard Advent Calendar: 911 2.0 in 1:43 scale
A 911 That Was Originally Called the 901
At the IAA in Frankfurt in 1963, Porsche unveiled the successor to the 356. It was initially named the 901. However, Peugeot claimed all three-digit model designations with a zero in the middle in France. Porsche responded pragmatically: The zero became a one. When series production began in the fall of 1964, the car was therefore already called the 911.
Technically, the car represented a clear break from the 356. Instead of a four-cylinder engine, it featured an air-cooled two-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with 130 PS in the rear. The design was created by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. It was sleeker and more elongated than its predecessor’s, and its basic contours have remained unchanged to this day.
With a surfboard on the roof
Franzis presents the early 911 not as a race car, but as what it was for many owners back then: an everyday sports car. A wood-grain surfboard rests on the chrome roof rack—just as it was a common sight on the California coast in the 1960s. The board is pre-mounted. The body is painted champagne yellow.
24 doors, 24 steps
Behind each door is a model or electronic part. The six-piece kit is assembled by snapping and screwing the parts together, without glue or painting. The necessary tools are included. The 24 boxes can be flipped over: a second design appears on the back.
The base is part of the model
The finished model sits on a curved section of road against a beach backdrop. A sound module is built into the base that plays the sound of the six-cylinder boxer engine at the push of a button.
The Companion Book
52 large-format pages tell the story of the 911 from 1963 to the present. The book includes a DIN A2 poster and four greeting cards.
