AMR X 1:43 - Model race car - Porsche 935 K2 - Hand built from ARM BAM X white metal kit

Between 1974 & 1978 , the French André-Marie Ruf sets new standards for modelling cars. "AMR" is gifted by an unique talent, and together with excellent craftsmen, e.g. Francis Bensignor & Jean-Pierre Viranet (TENARIV) , the Brand AMR rises quickly to the top of car modelling in the world. In 1977, next to factory built and exquisite models in white metal, the company brings also white metal kits to the market in cooperation with the legendary Boutique Auto Moto in Paris, the brand AMR X. The car in auction is built from the 4th kit under the brand BAM X and is a replica of the Porsche 935 K2 driven by Bob Wollek during the race season 1977. As it was build by hand from a kit, there is no "original box" as such. The car is fixed in an acryl showcase with tag & logos of Porsche Kremer racing and the AMR Logo. For the true miniature collector. A model in white metal is far more interesting then , e.g. a diecast model. The original car is a legendary race monster. Upon seeing the factory 935s and what was possible using the 930 platform, the Kremer bothers from Cologne built up their own version. Their first car contested the World Championship of Makes in 1976 and in the following year, an updated version known as the K2 was further modified. Compared to the Porsche 935, the Kremer version was much more slab sided and featured fences along the top of the rear fender to direct air to the rear wing. Many of the details found on the K2 were directly ported over to the much more successful K3. These included the reshaped rear profile which used a second window and running boards which better controlled air underneath the car. Unlike Porsche’s fibreglass, Kremer opted for Carbon-Fiber/Kevlar composite. The K2 is distinguished by its short cut-off front nose section with square headlight housings. It was first driven by Bob Wollek in Vaillant and was quite successful in the 1977 German Nation Championship.
