Tonka® Clutch Poppers №6162 - PORSCHE 911 TURBO - 18 cm Japan 1981

Originally released in 1981 this is one of the additional models in the Tonka Clutch Popper series. A stylised version of a Porsche 935 (most likely the 1977-78 Carrera) , just called ‘Porsche’ on the original packaging. Great looking pressed steel toy car with or without decals/stickers, all models came with the ‘Turbo sound’ feature. These cars have the same rear and front wheel dimension compared to the Chevy models. This is to keep it true in form to the original car, although in doing this the car maybe runs a touch slower than the larger wheeled Chevy models, even though it has the same flywheel motor. Still very quick for a flywheel powered toy car, and like all the other clutch poppers of around this time, practically indestructible through normal (even extreme) use. Also about 20g lighter than the Chevy models, as overall has a more narrow body.
