Porsche's return to top-class prototype racing with the 963 LMDh produced one of the most visually arresting liveries on the 2024 FIA WEC Hypercar grid. The Hertz JOTA entry — predominantly black with gold and yellow Hertz branding — won outright at Spa-Francorchamps on 11 May 2024, giving the car immediate historical standing. Norev captures this exact race-winning specification in die-cast metal at 1:18.
Porsche 963: the LMDh Prototype Explained
The Porsche 963 was developed on the Multimatic LMDh chassis platform and homologated for both the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar class and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTP class from 2023 onward. Its powertrain — a 4.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 co-developed by Porsche and Penske, paired with a Bosch motor-generator unit — delivers approximately 500 kW (680 hp) total system output. The car represents Porsche's return to factory-backed top-class endurance prototype racing, a category the marque last contested with the 919 Hybrid.
11 May 2024: Stevens, Ilott and the Hertz JOTA Win at Spa
JOTA Sport entered two Porsche 963s under the Hertz JOTA banner throughout the 2024 FIA WEC Hypercar season: No. 12 (Will Stevens and Callum Ilott) and No. 38 (António Félix da Costa and Yifei Ye). At Round 3, the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps held on 11 May 2024, Stevens and Ilott brought the No. 12 car to overall victory — one of the season's landmark results for the team. The black-and-gold Hertz livery, visually distinctive among the 2024 Hypercar field, became closely associated with this result.
Norev's 1:18 Die-Cast Interpretation
Norev produces this 1:18 scale model car in die-cast metal, replicating the No. 12 Hertz JOTA Porsche 963 in its Spa 2024 race-winning specification. Norev's 1:18 range is known for accurate livery replication, and the black base with gold and yellow Hertz graphics translates well to this format. The model faithfully records the car number, team identity and the precise event it won.
Placing It in a WEC Hypercar Collection
The No. 12 Hertz JOTA Porsche 963 pairs naturally with other 2024 FIA WEC Hypercar entries — Ferrari 499P and Toyota GR010 Hybrid — to document a season of exceptional competition. It also complements Porsche 919 Hybrid models from the 2015–2017 Le Mans campaigns, tracing Porsche's prototype lineage across two regulatory eras. Collectors following JOTA Sport across its WEC history will find it a logical anchor piece, sitting alongside the team's earlier GTE-class Porsche 911 RSR entries.
