Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) No. 23 Sonderwunsch 2024 Silver Red Blue Spark Model 1:43

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS in its 992 generation — introduced in 2022 — represents the most aerodynamically developed road-going 911 to date. Capturing a car produced under the Sonderwunsch bespoke programme, this 1:43 scale model from Spark Model fixes in resin a specific silver, red and blue specification carrying race number 23, a combination loaded with historical weight that extends back more than five decades.

The 992 GT3 RS: 525 PS and an Active Wing

Porsche's 992 GT3 RS is powered by a 3,996 cm³ naturally aspirated flat-six producing 386 kW (525 PS) at a 9,000 rpm ceiling, driving the rear wheels through a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox. At 4,572 mm long and 1,450 kg unladen (DIN), it is equipped with an active rear-wing DRS system and an optional Weissach Package that replaces bodywork and chassis components with carbon fibre — roof, bonnet, anti-roll bars and coupling rods among them. Few road cars of any era match its aerodynamic ambition.

Number 23 and the Sonderwunsch Programme

Porsche's Sonderwunsch (Special Request) programme traces its roots to the late 1970s, offering carefully selected owners direct collaboration with Porsche designers and engineers to produce genuinely bespoke cars far beyond the reach of the standard configurator — a process measured in months and reflecting commensurate investment. The number 23 on a GT3 RS Sonderwunsch is an explicit reference to the Porsche 917 Salzburg car that contested the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans: one of the most celebrated liveries in motorsport history. The silver, red and blue colourway documented here is a distinct Sonderwunsch interpretation, replacing the classic red and white of the original scheme.

Spark Model in Resin at 1:43

Spark Model produces the 992 GT3 RS range as official Porsche-commissioned collector editions, identified by WAP-prefixed catalogue references. The material throughout is resin — a medium that allows precise reproduction of the GT3 RS's complex aerodynamic surfaces, from the front splitter geometry to the large active rear wing profile. At 1:43, the manufacturer's choice of resin over diecast is consistent across the GT3 RS Sonderwunsch tribute range, where livery accuracy and surface fidelity take precedence over play features.

In the Display Cabinet

At 1:43 and approximately 10.5 cm in length, this model occupies modest shelf space while sitting naturally alongside other Spark 992-series pieces — the GT3 RS Guards Red 911-piece edition, the IAA 2023 White/Blue variant — or with 1:43 representations of the 1970 Porsche 917 Salzburg No. 23 that inspired the livery. For collectors building a 992 GT3 RS sub-collection or tracing the Salzburg colour lineage across generations, it fills a specific and well-defined gap.
