The Tamiya 24049 model represents the Newman Porsche 956 that claimed victory at the 1984 Le Mans 24 Hours, reproduced at 1/24 scale for hobby builders. It captures Joest Racing's race car characteristics and the exposed 6-cylinder boxer engine with DOHC 4-valve turbocharging found on the original.
Model makers will recognise the New Man yellow, black and white scheme included in the kit, along with parts that replicate the double wishbone front and rear suspension and the monocoque chassis. The set features synthetic rubber tyres and decals for car numbers No.7 and No.8 to finish the display piece.
