The 991.2-generation Porsche 911 RSR represented a genuine engineering departure when it arrived in 2017 and was updated for 2019: the flat-six moved to a rear mid-mounted position, distancing the racing car from the road 911's traditional rear-overhang layout. IXO Models captures the No. 92 entry from the 87th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours, 15–16 June 2019, at a generous 1:12 scale in die-cast metal — a format that rewards close inspection of bodywork and livery detail alike.
A Mid-Engine 911 Built for GT Racing
The 911 RSR in 2019 specification runs a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six in a rear mid-mounted position, producing approximately 510 hp and driving through a sequential six-speed gearbox. Carbon-fibre body panels and a magnesium roof keep weight in check, while the 991.2 platform's wider rear haunches accommodate the aerodynamic package required by FIA WEC's LMGTE Pro regulations. At approximately 4,565 mm in length, the RSR is dimensionally close to the road 911 yet mechanically its own animal entirely.
LMGTE Pro Runners-Up at Circuit de la Sarthe
Michael Christensen, Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor — all Porsche factory drivers and multiple WEC and IMSA class champions — shared the No. 92 car across the 24-hour distance on 15–16 June 2019. The crew crossed the line 2nd in the LMGTE Pro category, one position behind the sister No. 91 Porsche GT Team car of Bruni, Lietz and Makowiecki. The No. 92 ran in the standard Porsche GT Team white livery with red and dark accents.
IXO Models at 1:12 — Die-Cast at Its Most Expansive
IXO Models produces the No. 92 Porsche 911 RSR as part of its LEGT12 Le Mans series, covering significant LMGTE and LMP entries from the 24 Hours at 1:12 scale in die-cast metal. The 1:12 format — considerably larger than the crowded 1:43 and 1:18 markets — allows IXO to articulate panel lines, livery graphics and aerodynamic surfaces that smaller scales necessarily compress. Die-cast construction gives the model a solidity that suits the RSR's purposeful, muscular profile.
Placing It in the Cabinet
At 1:12, this model commands space and pairs naturally with other Le Mans LMGTE Pro entries from the 2018–19 FIA WEC superseason. Collectors building a Porsche GT Team sequence will find it complements any representation of the No. 91 sister car from the same race. The white-and-red Porsche GT Team livery reads clearly from a distance, making the No. 92 an effective centrepiece alongside 1:12 or large-format 1:18 GT racing subjects. For those drawn to factory driver pedigree, it sits alongside any Christensen, Estre or Vanthoor career retrospective.
