Casting History
Casting History
Larry Wood designed this older Porsche 930 casting, catalogued from 1991 through 2001 and retooled for 2012–2016 releases. It depicts the 911 Turbo family and is separate from the modern Porsche 911 Turbo (930) premium tool and Daniel Arsham's Eroded Porsche 930. The exact edition's catalog year is not the real automobile model year. The old tool and later retool must be distinguished by their release context; this record does not infer a material or engineering change from the word retool.

Porsche 930 — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
Which details separate one release from another?
Compare the casting name with the year, toy number, finish, graphics, wheels and package markings shown for that version.
Does the copyright year on the base always match the release year?
No. The base copyright can predate the year a particular color or package appeared. Use the release markings and packaging together.
What should I inspect on a loose example?
Check the paint, printed graphics, wheel faces and base for wear or damage. Those details help compare condition between examples.
What does the carded photograph show?
It documents the package design and the car as sold. Loose-car photos are shown separately when an exact view is available.
