About the Porsche 911 RSR… “Porsche developed the 911 RSR entirely from scratch to set new standards in endurance GT racing. The 4.0 litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 510 HP sits in front of the rear axle in a rotated position, to achieve the best possible driving dynamics. This is the first time Porsche has created a mid-engine race version of their 911 model and has broken with a key 911 tradition in order to make the RSR as competitive as possible.
The new swan neck style rear spoiler is a straight adaption from the 919 Le Mans hybrid prototype and together with the extended rear diffuser creates an optimal relationship between downforce and drag. Combined with the newly designed ergonomically perfect driver position, the 911 RSR forms the spearhead of the Porsche 911 family. It is an extreme athlete, tailor-made for GT endurance racing and has already proven to be very successful at endurance race events all over the world.”
Product# TBD
I think that the text is referring to a different generation of the vehicle, to the best of my knowledge this one is still very much rear engined. Nice model !
Who the hell is paying $600 for these? Spark’s version can be found for a quarter of that, and is easily a better model. The wheels and brake discs on this are embarrassingly plastic-looking, and the crappy grey decals cover the panel gaps where the indicators would be on the road version. Amalgam make nice 1/8 models, but anyone buying one of these should visit their optician or psychiatrist.
I’m a big fan of the RSR
I researched and that is definitely a 2016 RSR…Amalgam make lovely models but, its the price that’s a sticking point.
I’m sure that interior detail is also spot on!
