The 1:43-scale Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup (1993 Spa 24 Hours, #54) by Spark is now available for pre-order. Pre-order period closes Monday, November 9, 2026. Manufacturer's estimated release date: March 2027.

The Spark Models 1:43-scale Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup (#54, 1993 Spa 24 Hours) commemorates a distinctive privateer entry in one of Europe's most demanding endurance races. Entered by Belgian Team Paduwa, this Porsche 964 represents the independent teams that brought production-based sports cars to the limit at Spa-Francorchamps during the early 1990s. Shared by Marc Piessens, Ivan Viaene and Tim Joosen, the #54 Porsche is an especially interesting subject for collectors who look beyond race winners and podium finishers to discover the wider stories of Porsche motorsport. The event itself took an extraordinary turn when the race was red-flagged after 15 hours following the death of King Baudouin of Belgium, bringing the 1993 Spa 24 Hours to an untimely conclusion.

Crafted in resin by Spark Models, this finely detailed 1:43-scale Porsche 964 Carrera 2 Cup model car reproduces the #54 Team Paduwa entry in its distinctive white finish with complementary blue and green graphics. Carefully rendered exterior details include the Porsche 911's characteristic bodywork, gold basketweave-style wheels, Dunlop-branded tires and prominent rear spoiler. The result is an authentic miniature of an early-1990s Porsche endurance racer, capturing the look and character of a period when privateer teams played an essential role in international GT and touring car competition.

Produced in a limited edition of just 300 pieces worldwide, this Spark resin Porsche 911 race car model is an appealing addition to collections focused on Porsche 964 competition cars, the Spa 24 Hours, Belgian motorsport and historically significant privateer entries. Replicas of lesser-known endurance racers are not always easy to find, making this release particularly rewarding for enthusiasts who value the stories behind the cars as much as their results. The model arrives in a clear acrylic display case, ready to showcase alongside other Porsche 911 racing miniatures.

Historical Background: Team Paduwa and the Spa 24 Hours

The Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup #54 entered by Belgian Team Paduwa represents the privateer spirit of early-1990s endurance racing, when independent teams campaigned Porsche's air-cooled 964-generation 911 in demanding long-distance competition. Sharing the car were Marc Piessens, Ivan Viaene and Tim Joosen, whose entry formed part of the diverse field tackling the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The 1993 Spa 24 Hours, however, became memorable for reasons beyond the racing: after approximately 15 hours, the event was red-flagged following the death of King Baudouin of Belgium, who died on July 31, 1993. The premature stoppage brought the race to an exceptional conclusion, leaving the event forever associated with a national tragedy rather than simply its sporting outcome. Spark's 1:43-scale resin replica preserves the appearance of Team Paduwa's #54 Porsche and offers collectors a tangible connection to this unusual chapter in the history of the Spa 24 Hours and Porsche endurance racing.
