Item No. 20030727 In the
lineup: 2016
Available now: http://bit.ly/1VlGVHe
How do you write a review of a car that’s been on sale for weeks? One that’s been in the lineup for nearly 10 years and is now available in its umpteenth design variation? Terms like “long-running favorite” and “classic” should be avoided whenever possible. And actually, this model should have been released back in 2015; attentive readers of last year’s parts list had found a corresponding entry there that had been accidentally left in.
The Lechner Racing Team is based in Salzburg, so creating a race car for the track was an obvious choice. Although the original vehicle is the successor model (at least, those are the only photos I’ve found), this design isn’t true to the original on the old RSR body. However, this hasn’t been an issue with other 911 GT3 versions, such as the
On the technical side, the original version of the Digital 132 chassis is still used here, recognizable by the magnets that can be removed from the outside and the motor-rear-axle unit that can be removed from the bottom. Personally, I prefer cars with the improved chassis generation that has been in production since 2009; on the other hand, the 911 GT3 RSR has always been praised for its quite good handling almost everywhere (Car-On-Line, Facebook, online forums), even with the older chassis.
So everything’s fine.
