Porsche 911 991-2 4.2L RSR-19 #99 2021 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale
This is the Porsche 911 991-2 4.2L RSR-19 #99 2021 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by IXO.
The Porsche 911 RSR-19 #99 was entered by Proton Competition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2021, driven by Harry Tincknell, Vutthikorn Inthraphuvasak and Florian Latorre. The car was a last-minute addition, thanks to a tie-in between Proton, Porsche and the engineering firm Multimatic — which gave Tincknell the chance to step in. Unfortunately, the #99 RSR-19 did not make it to the finish line and was classified as DNF. What makes the 2021 Le Mans stand out is the brutal challenge it posed even to seasoned teams and drivers: heavy traffic, the classic 13.626-km lap length, and the peculiar rule that deploys three safety-cars simultaneously — a unique Le Mans mechanism that seriously punishes crews caught behind the second or third safety car, costing time regardless of fault. For a hastily assembled customer-entry like #99, the race emphasized how endurance classics demand not just speed, but cohesion, reliability and a bit of luck.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
