2025 Porsche 917K Jr. Martini Racing Edition – Half-Scale Legend, Full-Scale Fun

If you thought toys couldn't be serious machines, think again. The 2025 917K Jr. Martini Racing Edition isn't just a scaled-down replica; it's a hand-built, gas-powered tribute to one of the most iconic race cars ever made: the Porsche 917K Le Mans winner. Described by Top Gear as “the best toy car ever built,” this 72% scale masterpiece delivers the look, sound, and spirit of the original, just fun-sized.

Built Like a Real Car, Only Smaller

Developed and built in Winchester, Hampshire, UK, using a 3D scan of the original 917K chassis (917.023), this incredible replica takes over 180 hours of craftsmanship to complete. Every line, curve, and vent pays homage to the original Porsche legend. Beneath its beautifully molded fiberglass body, you'll find a powder-coated tubular steel chassis, front spring suspension, and hydraulic rear brakes with true automotive engineering simply scaled down.

Performance Meets Play

Powered by a 230cc Honda 4-stroke gas engine producing 9 horsepower, this 917K Jr. features a key electric start, smooth power delivery, and a top speed of 28 mph. The 10-inch pneumatic tires keep it sure-footed, while the hydraulic brakes bring it to a confident stop.

It's designed for both kids (as young as 5) and adults alike, with a roomy cockpit featuring a leather-trimmed bucket seat, bare aluminum interior panels, and a suede quick-release steering wheel. Working headlights, a rear cooling fan, and plexiglass light covers complete the authentic race-car feel.

Martini Racing Style – White with Iconic Stripes

Finished in the unmistakable Martini Racing livery, this car wears a white base coat with signature blue, red, and silver stripes, a color scheme that defined Porsche's golden era at Le Mans. The removable canopy lets you display it just like the real thing, and when it's off, it's ready for a quick spin around the neighborhood or your private track.

Dimensions (U.S. Spec)

Length: 2.6 meters → 8.5 feet (102 inches)
Width: 1.6 meters → 5.25 feet (63 inches)

Compact enough for your garage, showroom, or dealership display, yet large enough to make a serious impression.
