The 1:43-scale Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (1991 Spa 24 Hours - Team Hezemans #27) by Spark is now available for pre-order. Pre-order period closes Monday, November 9, 2026. Manufacturer's estimated release date: February 2027.

The Spark Models 1:43-scale Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (#27, Team Hezemans, 1991 Spa 24 Hours) commemorates a distinctive privateer entry in one of European endurance racing’s most demanding events. Campaigned by the renowned Dutch Team Hezemans, this red Porsche 964 represents the independent teams whose ambition, preparation and determination helped define production-based GT racing in the early 1990s. Although the car's 1991 Spa 24 Hours campaign ended without a finish, its story makes it a compelling addition to a collection devoted to Porsche motorsport history beyond the familiar race winners and podium finishers.

Crafted in resin by Spark Models, this finely detailed 1:43 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 race car model captures the appearance of the #27 Team Hezemans entry, including its striking red finish, period competition graphics, distinctive bodywork, Cup-style wheels and prominent rear spoiler. The model offers collectors an authentic miniature representation of an early-1990s Porsche endurance racer, preserving the character of an era when privateer teams took production-derived 911s into demanding international competition. Scale model replicas of lesser-known Porsche racing entries can be difficult to find, making this limited-edition release particularly appealing to enthusiasts who value the stories behind the cars as much as their results.

Produced in a limited edition of just 300 pieces worldwide, this Spark resin model is designed for serious collectors of Porsche race cars, 1:43-scale miniatures and historic endurance-racing subjects. It arrives in an acrylic display case, ready to showcase alongside other Porsche 911 competition models.

Pre-orders ship from our California facility within 1–2 business days from arrival from the manufacturer, and every purchase is protected by our 30-day return policy.

Historical Background: Team Hezemans at Spa

Founded around the racing activities of Dutch driver and team owner Toine Hezemans, Team Hezemans became a recognizable name in European touring car and GT competition, building a reputation through its involvement with competitive production-based machinery and the wider Dutch motorsport scene. The team's participation in the 1991 Spa 24 Hours with the red #27 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 reflected the appeal of the air-cooled 911 as an endurance-racing platform: compact, well-balanced and supported by a deep tradition of privateer competition. Sharing the car were Rinie van der Velden, Marcel van Vliet and Christian Fittipaldi, whose challenge was to survive a full day and night at Spa-Francorchamps, where changing weather, demanding corners and mechanical stress could undo even the most carefully prepared effort. The #27 Porsche ultimately failed to finish, denying Team Hezemans the result it sought, but its entry remains a worthwhile reminder that endurance-racing history is shaped by far more than victories alone. Spark's 1:43-scale resin replica preserves this lesser-known chapter of Porsche competition and celebrates the privateer teams whose efforts gave endurance racing much of its character.
