Turbo Porsche Racing Car

Early 1990s Whittaker Brothers leaflet

Manufactured by Whittaker Brothers, the Turbo Porsche Racing Car (modelled on the Porsche 962c Le Mans) was probably released in the late 1980s.  Including lights and sound effects, the car was originally coloured in white and blue.  This kept the colours true to the car it was based upon, but with the Rothmans sponsorship name replaced by the word "Racing", as cigarette advertising had been banned on toys in the late 1970s.  A couple of years later, a silver version was introduced, this time simply named "Turbo".

The car measured 61" x 27" x 38" and weighed 165lbs.
