Porsche 917 Le Mans Slot Car Raceway
From afar, this appears to be a Porsche 917, but upon closer inspection, you’ll realize that it is actually a custom-built Le Mans slot car raceway. This 1:32 scale slot car raceway was built by Detroit-based Slot Mods, measuring 13′ long by 6′ feet wide complete with hand-painted track surfaces, structures, signs, landscaping, as well as spectators.



The track itself is made of wood and equipped with track-side lighting, Armco-style railings, and grandstands. Featuring a two-lane track, hand-painted centerline, shoulder stripes, and Armco-style railings. Players use power switches and trigger-style analog race controllers to race up to two cars simultaneously. Miniature figures are placed around the raceway, depicting track workers, drivers, and spectators. Believe it or not, this slot car raceway sold for a whopping $205,000 USD earlier in the week on Bring a Trailer.
