1992 Porsche 911 (964) RS Coupe Cup Rims | 1:12 Scale Diecast Model Car | KK-Scale

Among the most revered, the most passionately collected, and the most completely and unconditionally celebrated classic Porsche road and competition cars in the entire and extraordinary history of the Porsche 911 — a history spanning more than six decades of continuous engineering development, competitive achievement, and the creation of some of the most beloved and most technically significant sports cars ever produced by any manufacturer anywhere in the world — there exists one model that occupies a position of such absolute and uncontested pre-eminence in the estimation of the most knowledgeable, the most experienced, and the most completely devoted Porsche collectors and enthusiasts worldwide that its status as the most desirable, the most significant, and the most genuinely important air-cooled Porsche road car ever offered to the public is acknowledged without question, without challenge, and without any reservation by every serious voice in the global Porsche collecting and appreciation community. That model is the 1992 Porsche 911 964 RS — the most pure, the most focused, and the most completely and authentically driver-dedicated 911 that Porsche had produced in the 964 generation’s production history — and now KK-Scale has honored this most legendary and most completely revered of all classic air-cooled Porsche performance variants in the most impressive, the most detailed, and the most genuinely extraordinary scale model format ever applied to this iconic subject — a breathtaking 1:12 scale large-format diecast masterpiece featuring the legendary Cup Rims specification and presented in a pure, commanding, and magnificently appropriate White finish that clothes the 964 RS Coupe’s precisely resolved and beautifully purposeful body in a color of such authentic motorsport purity, such genuinely racing-inspired character, and such completely compelling collector appeal that it creates a model of such overwhelming presence, such profound Porsche historical significance, and such outstanding KK-Scale manufacturing excellence that it stands as one of the most important, the most visually spectacular, and the most completely extraordinary classic Porsche diecast model releases ever offered to collectors anywhere in the world.

The Porsche 911 964 RS story begins with a brief of such complete clarity and such absolute engineering conviction that it left Porsche’s engineers in absolutely no doubt about what was required — and no latitude whatsoever for compromise, commercial convenience, or any departure from the most pure and the most completely uncompromising expression of the 964 platform’s genuine performance potential. The RS — Rennsport, meaning racing sport in German, a designation that has carried in the Porsche vocabulary since the legendary Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973 the most prestigious, the most coveted, and the most completely unambiguous signal of Porsche’s most driver-focused, most weight-optimized, and most genuinely performance-dedicated road car available to the public — was from the very moment of its announcement to the Porsche community a cause of immediate and overwhelming excitement, passionate anticipation, and the kind of complete and unconditional collector enthusiasm that only the most genuinely significant and the most historically important Porsche releases are capable of generating. When the 964 RS was finally revealed and subsequently delivered to its initial customers beginning in 1992, it immediately and completely validated every dimension of that excitement and that anticipation — arriving as a car of such genuine and overwhelming driver focus, such authentic racing car character, and such completely and permanently thrilling performance capability that it has never been surpassed in the estimation of the most experienced and the most knowledgeable Porsche drivers and collectors as the definitive, the most pure, and the most completely satisfying air-cooled 964 driving experience ever made available through an official Porsche production programme.

The engineering philosophy of the 964 RS was one of absolute and completely uncompromising commitment to the single most important and the most genuinely automotive-passionate principle in the Porsche driver’s philosophy — the reduction of every unnecessary kilogram of weight and the elimination of every unnecessary system, feature, and component that does not directly and meaningfully contribute to the car’s fundamental performance, its dynamic capability, and the purity and intensity of the driving experience it delivers to the committed and skilled driver who is its intended and its most deserving audience. The 964 RS achieved a kerb weight reduction of approximately 100 kilograms compared to the standard 964 Carrera through a comprehensive and meticulously executed weight reduction programme that touched virtually every system and every component of the car — replacing the standard body panels with thinner and lighter alternatives, eliminating the electric windows and replacing them with lightweight manually operated units, removing the standard rear seats and replacing them with a stripped and simplified rear parcel shelf, eliminating the standard air conditioning, the electric sunroof, and numerous other convenience and comfort features that added weight without adding performance, and replacing the standard carpeting and insulation with minimal and lightweight alternatives that reduced weight while maintaining the structural and practical integrity that a road-legal vehicle requires. The result was a car that delivered the 964’s already impressive dynamic capabilities with a new and genuinely thrilling level of intensity, immediacy, and completely addictive driver engagement — creating through the reduction of weight alone a transformation in the car’s character so complete, so immediately perceptible, and so genuinely and permanently exciting that even the most experienced Porsche drivers described it as a fundamentally different and fundamentally more rewarding driving experience than anything the standard 964 range could provide.

The engine of the 964 RS — Porsche’s magnificent 3.6-litre naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six in an RS-specific state of tune that extracted 260 horsepower from the already impressive standard unit — provided a power output of such genuine and authentic air-cooled Porsche performance quality that it created in combination with the RS’s significantly reduced weight a power-to-weight ratio of such exceptional excellence that the car’s straight-line performance, its mid-range acceleration, and its overall dynamic capability placed it unambiguously and completely convincingly among the fastest, the most capable, and the most genuinely exciting naturally aspirated production sports cars available from any manufacturer in the world at the time of its introduction. But it is the character, the sound, and the completely distinctive mechanical personality of the naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six in its RS specification that most completely and most permanently defines the 964 RS driving experience — the clean, linear, and increasingly intense build of air-cooled flat-six power through the rev range, the magnificent and completely irreplaceable acoustic signature of the air-cooled engine at full throttle, and the particular and completely authentic sense of mechanical connection, mechanical character, and mechanical intimacy between driver and engine that only a naturally aspirated air-cooled Porsche flat-six can provide in its most focused and its most driver-dedicated form.

The Cup Rims — the specifically designed and immediately recognizable motorsport-grade alloy wheels that are featured on this particular KK-Scale release and that give this model variant its most distinctive, its most immediately evocative, and its most completely authentic racing character — are the same wheel design developed and used across the Porsche Carrera Cup racing series of the early 1990s, giving the 964 RS equipped with these wheels a direct and completely authentic visual and technical link to the most significant and the most passionately followed Porsche one-make racing competition of its era. The Cup Rims’ distinctive design — with their characteristic spoke arrangement, their motorsport-optimized weight and strength characteristics, and their completely authentic Porsche competition character — are reproduced in this KK-Scale 1:12 scale model with such extraordinary precision, such genuine dimensional fidelity, and such completely authentic Porsche Cup racing specification accuracy that every knowledgeable 964 RS collector and Porsche Cup racing enthusiast will immediately recognize and deeply appreciate the authenticity and the significance of their faithful reproduction in this most impressive and most completely significant scale model format.

The 1:12 scale of this KK-Scale release — the most impressive, the most detailed, and the most genuinely extraordinary scale format in which a road car diecast model has ever been produced — creates a finished model of such genuinely overwhelming physical presence, such completely immersive surface detail, and such genuinely and permanently breathtaking engineering authenticity that it occupies a display position of absolute and uncontested prominence in any collection, any display environment, or any automotive showcase fortunate enough to contain it. At 1:12 scale — producing a finished model of approximately 37-38 centimetres in length from the 964 RS Coupe’s actual dimensions — every detail of the car’s precisely engineered and authentically purposeful body is rendered with a size, a clarity, and a completeness of visible detail that simply cannot be achieved at any smaller scale, creating a model in which the subtlety of the RS-specific aerodynamic modifications, the precision of the Cup Rims’ distinctive spoke geometry, the authenticity of the 964 RS’s interior with its lightweight RS-specific seats and stripped-back equipment, and every other carefully reproduced detail of this legendary air-cooled Porsche performance car is visible with complete clarity and complete authenticity to every person who studies, examines, and admires this most extraordinary of all KK-Scale productions.

The White finish — pure, clean, and magnificently commanding against the 964 RS Coupe’s precisely styled and beautifully purposeful body — is not merely a color choice but a statement of genuine and deeply authentic motorsport and RS heritage. White on a Porsche 964 RS speaks of the most focused, the most purposeful, and the most completely uncompromising expression of the Porsche RS philosophy — a car stripped of every unnecessary visual decoration, every superfluous styling element, and every non-essential visual addition in precisely the same spirit and with precisely the same conviction that defines the RS’s approach to the elimination of every unnecessary mechanical and structural component that does not contribute directly to the car’s fundamental purpose of delivering the purest, the most focused, and the most completely authentic Porsche driver’s car experience imaginable. White on this model is rendered by KK-Scale with the depth, the luminosity, and the surface quality perfection that their manufacturing commitment and their genuine passion for authentic Porsche color reproduction enables — a White of such genuine purity, such authentic racing heritage character, and such completely satisfying visual impact that it honors the real 964 RS’s most classic and most authentically appropriate color presentation with complete fidelity and deeply satisfying collector authenticity.

KK-Scale has invested their full manufacturing capability, their genuine Porsche engineering knowledge, and their authentic passion for the most significant and the most historically important classic Porsche variants to this 1992 Porsche 911 964 RS Coupe Cup Rims in 1:12 scale — creating a model that represents not merely the finest 964 RS scale model ever produced but one of the finest, the most detailed, and the most completely extraordinary classic Porsche diecast models in any scale from any manufacturer in the entire history of the 1:12 and large-format diecast collecting world.
