Unveiled in August 2022, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in its 992 generation represented a clear escalation in road-legal aerodynamic engineering. The optional Weissach Package goes further still, stripping approximately 35 kg from the kerb weight through extensive use of carbon-fibre reinforced polymer components. Spark Model has translated this road car into a resin 1:43 replica finished in green with black Weissach detailing, capturing a specification that stands out in any collection.
A 4.0-Litre Flat-Six at the Limit of Road-Legal Engineering
The 992 GT3 RS is powered by a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 525 hp (386 kW) at 8,500 rpm, with a redline at 9,000 rpm. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 296 km/h. In an era of widespread turbocharging, the commitment to a high-revving, naturally aspirated unit at this power level is a conscious engineering statement — and one that makes this generation significant to follow in future years.
The Weissach Package and a First for Road-Going Porsches
The 992 GT3 RS introduced an active Drag Reduction System operated by a steering-wheel-mounted paddle — the first time this technology appeared on a road-legal Porsche. The swan-neck rear wing is a defining visual element, and the Weissach Package adds further CFRP components including the roof and bonnet lid reinforcement, reducing weight beyond the already focused standard car. Green-finished examples, whether in Python Green or a comparable Porsche shade, are visually distinctive against the more common white and silver variants on the road and in model form.
Spark Model 1:43 Resin — Precise Replica of a Road Car Icon
This 1:43 scale model is produced by Spark Model in resin, the material the brand uses across its road and racing replica range to achieve fine surface detail not possible in standard diecast. The green and black specification faithfully reflects the Weissach Package trim, including the carbon-accented body elements. Spark's resin models at 1:43 are hand-assembled and typically feature photo-etched metal details as part of the production standard.
In the Display Cabinet
The green Weissach specification pairs naturally with other 992-generation Porsche road and track machinery in 1:43. The 911 GT3 R (992) racing variant shares the same visual DNA and makes a direct companion piece, as does the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, which uses the same 4.0-litre naturally aspirated engine platform. Collectors focused on the evolution of the GT3 RS lineage will find the 991-generation predecessor and its own Weissach Package variant a logical complement to this model.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Weissach Package on the 992 GT3 RS?
The Weissach Package is a factory option that reduces kerb weight by approximately 35 kg through extensive use of carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) components, including the roof and bonnet lid reinforcement, among other body elements.
What makes the 992 GT3 RS aerodynamically significant?
It is the first road-legal Porsche fitted with an active Drag Reduction System (DRS), operated via a steering-wheel-mounted paddle. The swan-neck rear wing is a key part of the aerodynamic package.
What material is the Spark Model 1:43 replica made from?
It is a resin model, hand-assembled by Spark Model. Resin allows finer surface and body detail than standard diecast at this scale.
What engine does the 992 GT3 RS use?
A 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 525 hp at 8,500 rpm, with a redline at 9,000 rpm.
