Carrera DIGITAL 132 Porsche GT3 RSR Lechner Racing, No.14
Item No. 20030727
In the range: 2016
available now: http://bit.ly/1VlGVHe
How do you write a review of a vehicle that's been on sale for weeks? One that's been in the range for almost 10 years and is now available in its umpteenth design variant? Terms like "long-runner" and "classic" should be avoided whenever possible. And this model was actually supposed to be released in 2015; attentive readers of last year's spare parts list found a corresponding entry that had been accidentally left out.
The Lechner Racing Team is based in Salzburg, so creating a race car for the racetrack was a natural fit. The original car is the successor model (at least, that's the only photos I've found), so this design on the old RSR body isn't true to the original. However, this hasn't been a problem with other 911 GT3 versions, such as the 1:24 scale Hybrid. So far, every 911 GT3 model has enjoyed steady demand, as well as noticeably rising prices after it was removed from the official range. This will likely be no different with this variant.
In terms of technology, the original version of the Digital 132 chassis is still used here, recognizable by the externally removable magnets and the removable motor-rear axle unit. Personally, I prefer cars with the improved chassis generation produced since 2009; on the other hand, the 911 GT3 RSR has always been praised for its excellent handling almost everywhere (car online, Facebook, online forums), even with the old chassis.
So everything is fine.
Best regards,
CoMod Chris
