Description
Overview
The Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) captures the essence of Porsche's pinnacle GT3 racing machine. Announced in July 2022, the full-scale 911 GT3 R (992) is a race-specification vehicle developed to conform to GT3 regulations and is campaigned by customer teams worldwide in prestigious series including the Fanatec GT World Challenge and SRO Motorsports Group championships across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. At its heart lies a water-cooled, naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine with increased displacement producing up to 565 horsepower (416 kW).
This limited edition 1/10 scale assembly kit features a polycarbonate body pre-painted in Black (PS-5) and Gun Metal (PS-23) with Smoke (PS-31) windows. The wing and light cases are also pre-painted black, with wheel arches pre-cut and body mount holes pre-made for fast assembly. The lightweight carbon construction of the full-scale car translates to reduced weight and increased agility in the RC model, mounted on the adaptable TT-02 chassis configured with a 251mm short wheelbase.
