911

Between 2002 and 2003, Altaya marketed the “RALLY MITICOS” collection, comprising 12 cars across 48 instalments, plus a Porsche 911 for subscribers. The 2005–2006 reissue added a Subaru Impreza. This Porsche 911 Carrera had no lights and was fitted with an RX-4 motor driving the rear wheels. Finished in white and blue, it carries race number 28 and “ROTHMANS” livery, although the tobacco brand has been replaced by “RACING” on the model. It bears the names S. Al-Hajri and J. Spiller on its sides and a Lombard Rally decal. Altaya reproduced the real car that competed in 1984.

The Porsche 911 SC/RS, internally designated Type 954, was developed in 1984 to compete in rallies under Group B regulations. It featured a naturally aspirated three-litre flat-six engine producing 247 hp in homologation specification, rear-wheel drive and an approximate weight of 960 kg. In 1984, Saeed Al-Hajri and John Spiller contested the Lombard Rally in a Porsche 911 SC RS entered by Rothmans Porsche Rally, finishing 17th. Altaya reproduced this real car for its “Rally Míticos” collection, replacing the tobacco brand with “RACING” in the livery.
