Carrera Digital 132 Porsche 911 RSR (991) "Pink Pig"

Art.Nr. 308964 Since

2012, the Carrera Porsche 917K has been part of the lineup. Among the various 917 versions of the legendary race car from Weissach, there is one that stands out visually from all the rest: the 917/20. It holds a very special place, as the car was a one-off. With this car, Porsche had attempted to combine the advantages of the short- and long-tail versions. But the coolest thing about the car was its paint job: known as the “Pink Pig,” “Fat Berta,” or even the “Truffle Hunter.” The paint job was the work of designer Anatol Lapine and caused a sensation at Le Mans in 1971. Although he was forced to retire from the main race in sixth place due to an accident, he won the preliminary race despite having no prior experience.
Due to the car’s distinctive body shape, CARRERA will likely never release a 917 in the 132 or 124 scales. But there are others, too:
Since then, this design has enjoyed absolute cult status. As early as 2018, the owner of a Porsche 918 Spyder had his car wrapped in the “Metzger” look.
And even at Porsche, the initial problems they’d had with Lapine’s design proposal back in 1971 had apparently been definitively overcome after 40 years.
In 2018, one of the 10 Porsche 911 RSRs that the factory entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans featured the pink paint scheme on its body. The No. 92 car was driven by Kévin Estre (France), Michael Christensen (Denmark), and Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium); it competed in the LMGT Pro class and finished 15th overall.
