Try ebay, but I think AutoArt has a 944/951 in production or close.

The only diecast I have of that bodystyle is an old 924 HotWheel. Need to start looking myself...

I collect 1:18 and just talked to the guys at motorsport collector and they said that the '44's have been on the "we're gonna make it" for a long time and not to expect it too soon.

Yeah I have several Auto Art 1:18 scales and I've been waiting for the 944s to come out for like a year...some places online will let you preorder them but I've never been able to find even a vague release date for them.

Go to www.minichamps.de

Go thru flash program or Click no flash intro.

On the homepage at the bottom in the non-scrolling bar, there is a british flag icon next to a german flag icon. Click on the british flag icon and the whole site is in English. Voila'.

Or, for you lazy fockers...
http://www.minichamps.de/default.asp?language=En

Click on products at top of page and choose street or racing.
Porsche will come up as a marque. You now know the latest scoop.

The closest they have come is a 944S2 Coupe in 1:43.
No turbo, no S and no N/A.

Look at the 1:24 plastic build kits for the 951.
