This is the Porsche 911(930) Turbo Wangan Midnight Blackbird (Comic #1 Version) in 1:64 scale by AUTOart
The Porsche 911 Turbo (930) “Blackbird” from Wangan Midnight Comic #1 is one of the most legendary fictional street-racing cars in automotive culture. Based on a heavily modified black 930 Turbo, the Blackbird was built for extreme high-speed runs on Tokyo’s Wangan expressway, where stability and relentless power mattered more than flashy styling. What set it apart was its terrifying combination of old-school turbocharged brutality and obsessive tuning, reportedly pushing far beyond factory performance while retaining the notoriously challenging rear-engine layout of the 930. Unlike many rival cars in the series, the Blackbird became iconic for its mysterious presence, understated appearance, and reputation as an almost unbeatable machine capable of sustained speeds exceeding 300 km/h, cementing its status as a cult symbol of Japanese highway racing culture.
AUTOart has built a strong reputation among collectors for producing premium die-cast and composite model cars, and their 1:64 scale lineup brings that same attention to detail into a compact format. These models stand out for their sharp paint finishes, accurate body proportions, finely replicated interiors, and authentic licensed designs that often rival much larger scales. Collectors especially appreciate AUTOart’s focus on realism, from detailed wheels and brake components to carefully reproduced aerodynamic features on supercars and racing vehicles. In the growing 1:64 collector market, AUTOart models are considered premium display pieces that blend craftsmanship, exclusivity, and automotive passion into a small but highly detailed package.
