Spark Model produced this officially commissioned resin set in a run of just 500 units worldwide, documenting the 1:43 scale model car of the No. 93 Proton Competition Porsche 911 RSR and pairing it with a 1:5 scale replica helmet worn by Michael Fassbender during the 2020 European Le Mans Series season. The WAP-prefix SKU places this firmly within Porsche AG's own dealer model programme, a distinction that separates it from standard Spark catalogue releases. The matte green and black livery used throughout the 2020 ELMS season is reproduced across the full body surface, from the wide 2,042 mm front axle track down to the rear diffuser.
The First Mid-Engined 911 RSR
The 2017-spec Porsche 911 RSR represented a fundamental departure in Porsche racing car architecture. By relocating the M97/80 3,996 cc naturally-aspirated flat-6 in front of the rear axle, Porsche produced the first mid-engined 911 RSR — a layout that directly contradicted the road car's traditional rear-engine identity. Output depends on restrictor configuration but sits around 510 PS (375 kW). The 991.1-generation car measures 4,557 mm in length (excluding splitter and rear wing) and tips the scales at approximately 1,243 kg to regulation minimum weight.
Fassbender, Lietz and the Road to Le Mans
The 2020 ELMS season was Michael Fassbender's first full professional endurance campaign, following earlier stints in Ferrari Challenge (2017–2018) and the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland. Sharing the No. 93 cockpit with Porsche works driver Richard Lietz and Felipe Fernández Laser, Fassbender documented his progression through a Porsche YouTube series titled Road to Le Mans. The trio scored finishes of 4th at Spa and 4th at Algarve among their five starts, accumulating 47 points to finish 6th in the LMGTE drivers' championship. Proton Competition's sister No. 77 entry took the 2020 ELMS LMGTE Teams' and Drivers' titles, both Proton and Kessel finishing on 99 points with Proton prevailing on countback via their Paul Ricard race win.
A Two-Piece Set from Spark Model
Produced in resin by Spark Model under Porsche AG's official WAP model programme, this set is limited to 500 units worldwide — low even by Spark's collector-tier standards. The car is rendered at 1:43 scale, the helmet accessory at 1:5 scale, making this a multi-piece display object rather than a conventional single-model release. As with all Spark resin pieces at this scale, the body is a sealed one-piece construction; surface detail concentrates on the aerodynamic bodywork, including the RSR's distinctive wide rear haunches and front splitter arrangement.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:43 scale, the Porsche 911 RSR model measures approximately 10.5 cm in length — compact enough to fit four or five cars across a standard 50 cm shelf. The separately produced 1:5 helmet adds visual mass and gives the set a two-tier display quality unusual at this scale. The No. 93 pairs naturally with Proton Competition's No. 77 from the same 2020 ELMS season to tell the full team story, or it sits alongside other Spark WAP 911 RSR releases from Fassbender's subsequent campaigns in 2021 and beyond to chart the Road to Le Mans arc.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:43 scale model car?
The real Porsche 911 RSR (2017-spec) measures 4,557 mm in length (body only, excluding splitter and rear wing). At 1:43 scale, the model works out to approximately 10.5 cm long. That is compact enough to sit comfortably in a standard collector cabinet, though the separately included 1:5 scale helmet requires a modest additional footprint on the shelf.
Does the model have opening parts?
No. As is standard for Spark resin models at 1:43, the body is a sealed one-piece construction with no opening doors, bonnet or engine cover. Detail is concentrated on the exterior aerodynamic surfaces — the wide RSR bodywork, front splitter and rear diffuser — and on the accuracy of the matte green and black Proton Competition livery.
What is included in the set and what is the helmet scale?
The set contains two pieces: the No. 93 Proton Competition Porsche 911 RSR at 1:43 scale, and a separately produced replica of Michael Fassbender's racing helmet at 1:5 scale. The helmet is an accessory specific to this release and is not a standard inclusion across the Spark 1:43 range.
How many units were produced?
Production is confirmed at 500 units worldwide. This applies to the complete set — car and helmet together. Whether individual pieces carry a numbered certificate has not been confirmed by Spark or Porsche.
