Bburago Porsche 2011 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Model Car
Best All Around Porsche 1/18-Scale Diecast Model
The Bburago Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 1/18-Scale Diecast Model Car is quite faithful to the actual Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 sports car on which it is based.
The original car on which it is based is powered by the very last flat-six engine attributed to the late, great Hans Metzger. This makes any existing GT3 RS 4.0 — as well as this gorgeous Bburago model — a collector’s car in the truest sense. It’s not only the last of the 997 series, but also the ultimate RS specimen.
This 911 GT3 RS 4.0 model’s features include open-and-closing doors, bonnet and engine compartment lids; and detailed engine, interior and chassis.
It has been noted, however, that colors of the model may vary, so beware of that possibility before making your final decision to purchase.
The build quality and meticulous attention to detail of the Bburago Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Model Car are so superior that this model is rated very high across the Internet and by Amazon purchasers (see the Amazon AI Customer Ratings Summary immediately below). We actually rate it at a 4.8 — it’s that good.

Maisto Porsche 550A Spyder Sports Car and Race Car
Best Porsche 550 “Giant Killer” 1/18-Scale Diecast Model
The Maisto Porsche 550A Silver Spyder 1:18-Scale Diecast Sports Car and Race Car looks great in silver with black upholstery. This detailed 1/18-scale replica has an exceptionally solid metal body.
The steering wheel turns the front wheels, and the doors, hood, and rear compartment can be opened. The opened rear contains the engine, leather tool bag, and spare wheel.
All four wheels have independent suspension springs. The automobile comes on a black, simulated-wood display stand.
This Maisto Silver Porsche 550A Spyder Sports Car and Race Car is a must-have, uncannily accurate replica of the real deal for your diecast model collection — if for no other reason that to own a tangible piece of Porsche racing history as a “Giant Killer” that slayed many a Ferrari, Jaguar and other race cars that were much more powerful.
On the darker side of 550 Spyder history, sadly, in 1955 movie star James Dean died violently in an automobile accident while driving his brand-new $7,000 Porsche 550 Spyder, nicknamed “Little Bastard.”
Dean and his mechanic, who miraculously survived the crash, were breaking in the new 550 on their way from Los Angeles, heading north to a scheduled race in Salinas, California.
The Maisto Silver Porsche 550A Spyder also makes a great gift for those die-hard 1/18-Scale diecast collectors in your life.

How Are the Best Porsche 1/18-Scale Models Chosen?
So how did we arrive at these best choices?
Once again, our shortlisted Best Porsche 1/18-Scale Models and those products on our other Best Lists rank high in the ratings on various recognized and trusted review and rating platforms, and search engines and websites, as well as on high-volume retailer stores across the Internet.
As is the case with all of our shortlisted best Porsche merch, entries appear based not only on superior quality and value, but also on availability and cost.
For example, any given Porsche scale diecast model may be of outstanding 5-star quality. But if it is next to impossible to obtain it for a relatively reasonable market price, then there’s no way it can find its way onto our best-of shortlists.
The lists are updated on a regular basis to reflect prevailing trends, as well as to include hot newcomers from the usual suspects’ retail and review & rating websites.
