2009 Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RSR<\/strong> \nPilots: \u00c9. H\u00e9lary, E. Maris, J-M. Merlin \nTeam: IMSA Performance Matmut<\/em> \nRace: 34th overall (13th in LMGTE-Am class) at Le Mans in 2014 <\/strong>\nSpark - S423 (resin) <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

French team Matmut bought 911 GT3 RSR chassis #WP0ZZZ99Z9S799915b new in 2009. The team campaigned the car three times at La Sarthe, and 2014 was the car\u2019s last race. That year RSR #67 finished in 34th place, 62 laps behind the winning Audi R18. But what really made the car shine was the livery. With a true art car livery, it became known as the \u201cRichard Mille Porsche\u201d<\/a>. The car was fully wrapped in a graphic of a Richard Mille watch movement. According to Richard Mille, you will find every single part<\/em> of their movement in the art work \ud83d\ude2e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"RSR
Yep, those are watch parts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In scale, once again it\u2019s Spark at its finest – a gorgeous model. So, a Porsche art car? OF COURSE I wanted one!  I’ve been after the RSR #67  since I first saw it last year, and finally scored one. Very possibly the GT3 (with all it’s variations) is the most prolific Le Mans 1:43 model. So it’s understandable to pass up on “another GT3”. But the art car livery makes it VERY special. That being so, I would say it’s a must buy for the Le Mans art car aficionado. Like me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"RSR
From afar it doesn’t look like much, but up close it’s a VERY interesting livery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If my math is right, there are 14 or 15 Porsche art cars that raced at Le Mans available in 1:43. So I’m still four or five short.  And some of them seem to be made of unobtanium, since I never saw them for sale. For instance, the Troy Lee 2011 #81 Flying Lizard<\/a> cars is easy to find. Yet the sister #80 car<\/a> is much harder. And what about the X-Ray #40 935? That one is really<\/em> rare. It’s going to be rough, but I’ll try to get them all…\ud83e\udd11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll try to get all the art cars, however that will be a TALL order.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
