This two-car die-cast set from Minichamps documents a singular moment in German touring car racing. The 2023 DTM season ended with Thomas Preining and Dennis Olsen sharing a podium at Hockenheim Race 15 — Preining first, Olsen second — a result that sealed the Teams' Championship for Manthey EMA. When the final points were counted, Preining had won the Drivers' Championship with 246 points, Manthey EMA had taken the Teams' Championship, and Porsche had claimed the Manufacturers' title — the brand's first DTM manufacturers' crown.
The Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) in Competition
Developed by Porsche Motorsport as the direct successor to the 991.2-generation GT3 R, the 992-series 911 GT3 R made its competitive debut in 2022 and competed in the DTM from 2023. Its naturally aspirated flat-six sits within the Balance of Performance framework common to GT3 regulations worldwide. The car shares its fundamental architecture with the 992-series 911 road car and was engineered to compete across the full spectrum of GT3-class championships.
Three Titles, One Season: The 2023 DTM Story
Thomas Preining, driving the #91 Manthey EMA entry, closed the 2023 DTM season with 246 points to become champion. His team-mate Dennis Olsen in the #90 car supported that campaign throughout the season. At Hockenheim Race 15, their one-two finish clinched the Teams' Championship for Manthey EMA, while Porsche simultaneously secured the Manufacturers' title, its first in DTM history. The yellow-green Manthey Racing livery worn by both cars is one of the most recognisable colour schemes in Porsche GT motorsport, carried across campaigns at the Nürburgring and beyond.

As a two-car set, it captures the precise pairing that stood together on the Hockenheim podium and clinched the team title on the same afternoon.
