It serves as the replacement for the Porsche 911 RSR (991). The car was unveiled in November 2016 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The 911 RSR clinched its first victory at the Northeast Grand Prix in July 2017 on Lime Rock Park.
The 911 RSR was developed into a licensed LEGO Technic scale model, released for purchase by the public in 2019.
