The best Porsche gifts

A great quality model at an appealing price makes Norev's 1:43 scale version of a 1969 911S incredibly tempting. The first generation 911 celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, and given Porsche still makes the same basic design today, it doesn't feel like it's aged that much.

Norev are renowned for great quality 1:18 models while the 1:43 range falls a little more under the radar. But this 911 makes for a fabulous ornament.

Kicking things off on the model topic is an example of Porsche's assault in the World Endurance Championship in the early 1980s. The 956 was born in the mist of the Group C monsters that would dominate the sport from 1982-1993.

Minichamps acknowledge the significance of the 956 and indeed the 962, and offer this stunning 1:18 scale model. It's a replica of the Joset Racing 956 piloted by Stefan Johansson and Bob Wollek. Granted, it's not as iconic as the Rothman's livery cars, but it makes for an amazing display piece for any office desk.

In order to get an allocation for a Porsche GT product, you have to be on Porsche's special customer list on the grounds of brand loyalty and by how many Macans and Boxters you've had no choice but to get through. It really can take its time before you're properly considered worthy of a GT3.

Happily however, you don't have to buy half a dozen Cayenne models before Norev's 1:18 GT3 Touring. You can jump straight there and have this lovely grey model all for yourself.

The Porsche 918 is the brand's most intense supercar of the last decade. It used the engine from the RS Spyder endurance racer assisted with hybrid tech derived from the more modern 919 LMP1 cars. It made for staggering performance - which was expected, considering it had the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari as play buddies.

Unfortunately, those V8 noises aren't replicated with the Revell plastic model kit. But it is a satisfying way of replicating the marque's hallmark hybrid hypercar.

The classic 911 shape made from LEGO and complete with a fully detailed interior and engine. Simpler to build than the Technics version but no less cool. Choose between a Targa and Turbo (an obvious choice if you ask us).

It includes some neat details including the assembly of the flat six engine as well as storage for the Targa roof. Lego models have come a long way throughout the past decade, and Porsches have been at the forefront of it.

A festive option for Porsche fanatics, this advent calendar allows you to make your own classic 911 over the course of 24 days (or one if you have poor self-control). There are a number of classic 911s available, but we like this simple red 901 model. The set includes a display plinth and a small speaker that plays a recording of the iconic flat-six engine.

An even neater detail is that within the calendar, each box containing the parts is numbered using images of classic Porsche racers.

The Singer 911 is a popular 964 upgrade among rich 911 collectors who want to indulge in the best of the 911's retro styling and the peak of modern performance. But while Singer builds usually go for north of $1 million, this print is nowhere near that level of silliness.

The common eye wouldn't be able to tell that it's a bespoke Singer. The classic 911 shape is so distinctive, it has a place anywhere in a nicely-furnished home.

Story time, so when Porsche unveiled the 901 in 1963, it didn't retain that name for long. Dozens of 901 chassis cars were produced before Peugeot stepped in and claimed they owned the rights to naming their cars with a zero in the middle. At the time, the French marque had already produced the 403, 404, and so on. Porsche swiftly changed the new sportscar's name to 911 and still retains it to this day. It is odd however, that in the same time period, Bristol were producing cars chronologically named 401-409 without any legal challenge from Peugeot whatsoever... hmm.

Nevertheless, the 901 is very rare and a fine print of one can be yours. It illustrates the car in a moody, colourful modern home setting and it's a lovely piece to have for your hallway or pretty much anywhere in the house.

Anyone whose watched the 1971 film Le Mans will be familiar with the sensational scream that the 917's flat 12 engine produces. Witnessing the Gulf livery monsters do battle with the Ferrari 512s in a spectacular production is truly immersive.

Hearing the 917 soundtrack is possible in almost every single print and picture available of it. And this fine print available on Etsy encapsulates the spirit of the two-time Le Mans victor. If we were to criticise, maybe it should be displayed in action with a bit of dirt gathered.

In time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Porsche, Randy Leffingwell's substantially-detailed book on the marque covers everything from the 356 pre-A to the Mission E concept which would preview the Taycan.

If you've ever visited the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, reading through this book takes you through a similar immersive process. With incredible photography, period photos, and intricate detail of the models and the history. Even if you think you know everything about Porsche, there is something new to learn in this book.
