911 RSR Liveries

Post by GG. »

Absolutely loving the new liveries for the RSR. Should add some fun retro cool to Le Mans this year:

I was seriously confused as to how they managed to fit that diffuser under the motor... until I remembered they'd cheated and moved these latest RSRs to be mid engined :idea:

Nice.

Also like how it’s still crafted imperfectly. Wonkey exhausts, the diffuser not quite symmetrical :lol:
Always surprises me at Goodwood seeing how all these super precise race cars look like the bodywork has been rushed together making quite a mess up close. The F1 cars being amongst the worst.
How about not having a sig at all?

Want to try and replicate that principle for the back of the loltus!


Will end up chopping half the rear clam away :P

Technically the GT1 was in effect a mid-engined 911 so in reality they did it back in the 90s. More of a cheat with a GT3 car though.

Shame there isn't homologation rules to force Porsche to make a few thousand road going versions!!

FTFY :D

Road going mid engined RSR would be teh epics wouldn't it 8-) 911 shape but no tricksy handling drawbacks.

Only downside would be no rear seats... though GT3s don't have any anyway!
