When considering toy brands that partner with automakers, Lego often comes to mind. Yet, Playmobil, one of its major competitors, boasts a surprisingly extensive collection of automotive toys. Its latest creation is ideal for Porsche enthusiasts and budding rally fans alike.

Coming in April, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Offroad set arrives in the wake of the release of the new 911 Dakar. However, this one is inspired by the classic Porsches that traveled the globe to tackle some of the world’s most extreme races in the ’60s and ’70s.

Unlike a Lego set, buyers won’t get to experience the joy of assembling their very own classic off-roader, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t take this toy apart. The model comes with a removable roof rack and roof.

Lower down and farther back, the trunk can be opened, revealing a flat six engine, which ought to help parents teach their kids about the ins and outs of weight distribution. In addition, the model comes with rally lights, underbody protection, and a bumper guard.

Finished in an era-appropriate combination of green and orange, the set is rounded out by a driver whose racing suit matches the 911’s livery. An orange helmet with the Porsche crest tops it all off.

Measuring in at 10.4 by 4.33 by 3.74 inches (264x110x95 mm), the Porsche model is pretty large. It also comes with a reasonably big price tag, starting at $69.99. If you can’t wait for this set to arrive next month, Playmobil also offers an on-road Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 model, Magnum, p.i. Ferrari 308 GTS, and a Mercedes 300 SL, among others.
