Carrera DIGITAL 124 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 'IMSA Performance Matmut'


Item No.: 23863 Who

or what is MATMUT? It is a French insurance company that has long been active as a sponsor in motorsports.

IMSA Performance Matmut is a French racing team founded by Raymond Narac. The team is based in Saint-Jean-du-Cardonnay, Upper Normandy. IMSA stands for Innovation Mécanique Service Automobile.

Success has not been in short supply with this financially strong partner, and as a result, the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR claimed class victories at Le Mans in 2007 and 2013. The colors of the French tricolor—blue, white, and red—also adorn the cars of the sponsor, Matmut, making the car Carreraeasily recognizable both in real life and on the track. The 2013 Le Mans car is almost identical (except for a few specific sponsors and the race number) to this 1:24Carrera  model, but this particular model is likely the car driven by Patrick Pilet and Wolf Henzler in the 2011 European Le Mans Series races at Imola and Silverstone.

The Porsche 911 has long been a staple as a 1:24 scale model and is just as frequently seen on the podium as its real-life counterpart. It’s quite light, agile, and fast… what more could you want?
