On the heels of the Jaguar’s new colours, and still awaiting final approval here, Kyosho has unveiled another NEW entry for their metal and opening series, we welcome the Porsche 911 (901) 1964 replica. Colours include Irish Green, Signal Red and Champagne Yellow. The Porsche 911 is scheduled to arrive in April 2024. Suggested retail $240 US. The initial photos are promising, and the model definitely looks somewhat more polished than their Jaguar.

Why do all 3 examples say POPSCHE on the rear? And those awful doglegs…
But otherwise seems like a nice model.
Wow wrong text on the engine cover like Patrick says, different shades of yellow between the body and the lower front and rear bumpers, massive dog legs. Looks like a re-release from 25 years ago
LOL, missed that!
Man, I was getting excited about getting a red one then I saw the doglegs, LOL! Even Norev is doing better on the opening engine lid on their 964s. This is such a huge miss for Kyosho and for that stupidly exorbitant price! If I were to get a 901, I’d go with Team CMC even though they’re even more expensive. The front of the car also looks a tad shorter proportion-wise.
I missed the “POPSCHE” LOL.
But I also noticed the doglegs but I am most shocked by the wipers; Kyosho has proven they can do much better than that. Otherwise nice shape, nice colours too.
That joke. Kyosho is probably the worst manufacturer at the moment
– Overpriced re-release with 0 improvements ( Ferrari, Countach, Cobra )
– New E-Type Jaguar that looks like an upgraded Burago
– Now this Porsche… and the price in Europe will be above 250 euros
Norev can build a better model for 89 euros !
Why are they using dog legs? i mean the other models are highly detailed, like those F40 are beautifully made.
Is that some sort of inconsistency from the brand or could be “kyosho” just for the branding and some other manufacturer made this kinda shit? even the lexus lx570 made by ST-WELL with “kyosho” branding much better than this crap..
or.. kyosho is just simply sucks
My theory is that the mould was created long ago and maybe due to some licensing issues it was never put into production. It just seems like a result of an old manufacturing process
I will say they could’ve made them a little shorter otherwise very nice well done.
From a distance it looks okay, but then it has some weird flaws for a new release. Apart from all the above listed shortcomings, I would add that I find the shape of the side rear window a bit off. The price is laughable. Norev my teach them a few lessons on how to make the shape of a 911 correctly.
The windscreen wipers are not better either: they look like wipers from a toy car rather than from a scale model…
We were waiting for some to comment on this LOL.
