The model car, seen here in 1/43 scale, is based on the iconic Porsche 911 (991) GT3 RS. This generation of the 911 series was produced from 2015 to 2019 and is an evolution of the highly esteemed GT3 model. The miniature is crafted by Minichamps / Cartima and offers a remarkably high level of detail. The special color scheme in "British Racing Green" emphasizes the unique aesthetics of this collector's item. Importantly, this model is based on Diecast material and features some modifications that set it apart from the original series model made by Minichamps / Cartima, making it a unique collector's piece owned by Modelly member "porschepit".
The original, the Porsche 911 (991) GT3 RS, boasts a range of impressive technical specifications. This sports car was developed with a 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine delivering 500 horsepower (368 kW) at 8,250 revolutions per minute. The vehicle reaches a top speed of 310 km/h (192 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds. It was developed under the guidance of chief engineer Andreas Preuninger and designer Matthias Kulla. The GT3 RS is known for its aerodynamic enhancements, including a large rear wing and ventilation slots for increased stability and downforce. The vehicle also offers precise suspension tuning optimized for track performance.
This 1/43 scale model from Minichamps / Cartima is presented in an exquisite box, clearly visible in the photos. The "British Racing Green" paint creates a classic look, complemented perfectly by the gold-yellow wheel paint. The wing, side vents, and front air intakes are faithfully reproduced. The accurately replicated headlights and taillights deserve special mention for their realistic appearance. It is important to note that this model has been modified after production to highlight individual details, thus not corresponding to the standard Minichamps / Cartima model.
This model is a true gem for any collector and miniature enthusiast who appreciates models of German engineering prowess. The specifications listed on the base attest to the exclusivity of the model. Further details such as the precisely replicated side mirrors and detailed brake systems add extra authenticity to the miniature. Every angle of this Diecast model has been carefully designed to closely resemble the original. The gold wheels could be from a special manufacturer like BBS, adding a touch of exclusivity to the model. In "porschepit's" collection, this miniature certainly holds a special place.
