Ralph Ratcliffe Models has introduced a new resin kit for the Penske-Donahue Porsche 917/10 Can-Am racer. Competing in the 1972 Can-Am Group 7 series for unlimited sports racing cars, this car was revolutionary in its day. This 900 horsepower twin turbocharged monster was the only car to ever truly compete with the dominant McLaren Racing Can-Am cars of the era. Compete it did; it ended the McLaren cars' 5 year reign of utter dominance of the series. The Penske Porsche 917/10 effectively forced the withdrawal of the McLaren team as uncompetitive after the 1972 season.

Ralph Ratcliffe Models now offers a 1/87 scale cast resin kit of this famous racer consisting of 14 cast parts, two brass axles, and an exceptional decal set which allows you to build either the #6 car of Mark Donahue or the #7 car piloted by George Follmer during the 1972 Can-Am season.
