How do you write a test report about a vehicle that has been on sale for weeks? That has been in the range for almost 10 years and is now available in the umpteenth design variant? Terms such as "perennial favorite" and "classic" should be avoided wherever possible. And this model should actually have been released in 2015; attentive readers of last year's spare parts list found a corresponding entry there that had inadvertently not been removed.

The Lechner Racing Team is based in Salzburg, so the conversion of an operational vehicle for the race track was absolutely obvious. The original vehicle is the successor model (at least I have only found such photos), so this design on the old RSR body is not true to the original. However, this has not been a problem with other 911 GT3 versions, such as the Hybrid in 1:24 scale. So far, every 911 GT3 model has enjoyed stable demand, as well as noticeably rising prices after it disappeared from the official range. This will probably 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 magnets that can be removed from the outside and the motor/rear axle unit that can be removed downwards. Personally, I prefer vehicles with the improved chassis generation as it has been produced since 2009, on the other hand, the 911 GT3 RSR has always been attested quite good handling almost everywhere (Car-On-Line, Facebook, online forums) even with the old chassis.
So everything is in the green zone.
