Presented in January 1982, the Porsche 944 was an evolution of the 924. The displacement was 2479cc, with a power of 163 horsepower, which is almost forty more than the 924, but 14 less than the 924 Turbo. From an aesthetic point of view, the 944 was inspired by the 924 Carrera GT, from which it took the widened wheel arches. In the following years the 944 underwent some aesthetic updates and continued its journey even when the Turbo version was presented, in February 1985. In 1989 the displacement increased to 2.7 liters with a gain of a few horsepower; with 1990 the 944 went out of production.

The Schuco brand was founded in 1912 in Nuremberg by Heinrich Müller and Heinrich Schreyer. In 1936 Schuco began producing high-quality sheet metal toys with many innovative features. In the 1950s and 1960s, plastic model cars and several diecast ranges were introduced. A series of 1:66 scale models was released in 1969 and a series of 1:43 scale models in 1971. The company was taken over by Gama in 1981, who proposed re-issues of the old Schuco toys; since 1993 the Schuco brand has been used again for 1:43 diecasts. Since 1999, Schuco has been part of the Simba Dickie group and has recently included a whole series of 1:43 resincasts in the range, which have the same construction criteria as the Spark models, which has entered the Simba Dickie orbit.
