Exoto unveils two skinned Porsche 910-6’s as dressed in the classic ‘Le Mans’ starring Steve McQueen. The Porsche #60 and #39 will be released in 1:18. Both are stated as available soon, we suspect an early 2016 release.
About the movie… “Released in June 1971 and given a G rating, the film is still popular today among race fans, as it is a relatively accurate depiction of the era. It features lots of racing but very little dialogue (there is brief dialogue approximately 6 minutes into the film, then the PA announcer at 11 minutes, more PA announcements at 14 minutes, with McQueen’s first dialogue at 36 minutes into the film). Due to this, and to the American market’s obliviousness towards the Le Mans 24-hour race and foreign auto racing in general, it was a flop at the box office in the United States. It followed in the wake of the similar but much more successful 1966 film Grand Prix (for which McQueen had turned down the starring role, given afterwards to James Garner).”
7 posts in 1the day? That must be a new record and one that I am happy to see you break. Does this mean there won’t be any posts over the weekend so the DS team can take some time off? Keep up the great work. Wish I had the money to get all the I now want.
We are not sure what the record is, we just try our best to highlight the news as soon as we know about! No rest on weekends either. Thanks for the kind words! Merry Christmas!
The amount of dialogue in a film is not an indicator to quality. Just look at ‘2001 – A space odyssey’ to prove it. And as a fan of the original film, the few words spoken are often corny and stilted. We’re told by McQueen’s team boss that ‘Porsche want’s to win Le Mans’. Well duh…… Nice looking models though.
One of the great films, but honestly, it would have been great without ANY dialogue! Well, except for the “racing is life. . .” line. . .
