The Porsche 911 has been one of the most iconic and successful sports cars in the world since its introduction in 1964. With its air-cooled six-cylinder engine and unique, timeless design, the 911 became a favourite with car enthusiasts. But where the Porsche 911 really made its mark was in the world of motorsport.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Porsche 911 was a fixture on race circuits around the world, from endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans to rally championships and touring car racing. The 911 was known for its excellent road holding, reliability and speed, qualities that made it a formidable opponent on the track. Porsche developed numerous variants of the 911, specifically designed for competition, including versions for circuit racing and rallying.

Matchbox's SuperKings line was launched to produce larger and more detailed models than traditional Matchbox miniatures. The K-101 Porsche 911 Racing, released in 1983, is one of these models and emphasizes speed and precision, like the real racing Porsche 911.

This model includes realistic racing decals and a sporty spoiler, making it not only look fast, but also stays true to the cars that Porsche used on the racetracks. The scale is larger than standard Matchbox cars, and this larger size allows for a higher level of detail, with a robust construction.
