Carrera Digital 124 Porsche 911 RSR "MOBIL 1"

Art.Nr. 23890"



It's finally here!

Exactly ten years ago, [the company] added Carrera the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR to its lineup. And ever since then, the car has been a perennial favorite in the lineup. This was likely due not only to the “Porsche 911” name, but above all to the vehicle’s outstanding performance, which, even after ten years, held its own against more modern cars. Furthermore, the car competed in so many different series that, visually

, it offered a truly beautiful and diverse model lineup over the years. In recent years, however, there has been a growing chorus of voices from the slot car community calling for a newer or updated version of Porsche’s long-standing favorite.
Well, the time has come—standing before me is the 911 RSR in its 2018 body style!

Let’s take a look at the model:


TheArt.Nr . 23890 is the MOBIL Porsche that won the GTLM class at Petit-Le-Mans in 2018 with drivers Pilet, Tandy, and Makowiecki. Just a quick note: The current top GT class, the GTE class of the FIA and ACO, was known as GT2 between 2005 and 2010. IMSA adopted these regulations and refers to this class as GTLM. With a lead of over 11 seconds, Porsche driver Tandy crossed the finish line first in the GTLM class after 10 hours.
In terms of color scheme and graphics, the RSR is every bit as good as its iconic original. All decals, advertising stickers, and sponsor logos are exactly where they should be, and the color gradients of the classic MOBIL paint scheme are spot on.

The body of the modern RSR does differ from the 2010 version in a few details. Overall, it’s more pronounced and appears wider. The very wide fenders on the rear axle and the side skirt extensions below the doors are particularly striking. The very tall and delicate rear spoiler is also worth noting. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a sought-after replacement part someday.
Due to the design, the driver figure is naturally a bit flat, but thanks to the 1/124 scale, it’s slightly better sculpted than in the 1/132 version. It also comes with a very nice driver figure with a cleanly printed helmet.

I’ll leave the extensive driving tests to my colleagues with club tracks and large home tracks. I’m a “carpet slider”—in other words, I can only test this model on my track at home, which I keep rebuilding.

In my opinion, the car drives very spiritedly and aggressively, though of course that impression can always be misleading given the car’s appearance. I’m probably also a bit biased, since I’m a Porsche fan.
Overall, there’s nothing to complain about in terms of driving performance—the car is already one of my new all-time favorites.

And with that, another classic Carrerais likely secured for the lineup for the next few years !
