About the Manga
Circuit no Ookami is an automotive manga by Ikezawa Satoshi that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1975. Set on real public roads and circuits, it depicted races featuring numerous real-life supercars, sparking a massive supercar boom in 1970s Japan.
This latest model follows AUTOart’s earlier release of the Lotus Europa driven by the protagonist, Kazuki Yuuya. Now, the Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS of his greatest rival, Hayase Sakon, has been faithfully reproduced.

Meticulous Detailing
In creating the model, AUTOart conducted thorough research on the actual car as well as detailed examination of the vehicle as depicted in the manga. Features such as the star marks on the body representing victory counts and the license plate have been carefully recreated, blending real-car characteristics with manga-specific specifications.

Full Opening Mechanism
A hallmark of AUTOart model cars is the full opening mechanism for doors, hood, and more. The high rigidity and thin, sharp body panels made possible by the AUTOart Composite Diecast Model construction ensure precise opening and closing. When all panels are closed, the body’s tight panel gaps give the illusion that no openings exist—a testament to the model’s exceptional build quality. This model is a must-have not only for Porsche fans but also for those who enjoyed Circuit no Ookami in its heyday and anyone who dreamed of the supercar boom.
