[MOC] Porsche 964 Turbo (1:12)

[ArtemyZotov]

Hi all~ 

I'm happy to present my latest MOC: Porsche 964 Turbo.

The MOC was inspired by my design for CaDA – RUF CTR 2017 (C62003), but the only thing they actually have in common is the front arch.

Scale: 1:12
Length x Width x Height: 38 x 17 x 12 cm

Features:
- detachable body
- steering wheel connected to the front wheels with a control knob
- moving 6-piston engine with rotating rubber belts
- openable bonnet, trunk and doors
- full independent suspension

The MOC is available on Rebrickable

I reused the door mechanism from my previous MOC, Lancer Evolution.

I did my best to replicate the engine’s shape, including all visible components.

My favorite feature is the detachable body, just like in all my 1:12 scale MOCs I built this year.

Unfortunately, red is currently the only genuine LEGO color available for building this MOC.
I'm not rich enough to collect original LEGO parts for this MOC, so I went with the black version instead. Here are a couple of renders in the proper color.

I also designed a custom wheel cover for this MOC and uploaded the 3D file to the Rebrickable files section. Everyone can print it after purchasing the instructions.
I haven’t been able to print it yet, but maybe I will later.

So nicely finished all around, great use of large panels and also system pieces where required! I like the A pillar solution.

That door hinge mechanism looks like a nice trick, I checked it out in the Lancer video, but I am not sure I understand how that works, can you maybe show just the linkage without the door on it?
