Hi

Does anyone know if there has there ever been a 1992/3 Porsche 911 2.7rs slot car in white with blue highlights available?

Thanks

Rob

Hello Rob,
I think the answer is no but a picture of a 1:1 version would help.

That would help wouldn’t it!

This is the 1:1 car

This is the closest car I've got, by MRRC

And this is the closest colour scheme I've got, by Autoart

Ah - I suspected that you had got the year wrong. No such slot-cars have been produced by a main-stream manufacturer.
I prefer the red version - could do you a set of blue decals though.

By the way, the Autoart cars really nice, I have both colours.

Ha, yep got years wrong, that’ll teach me try and have 2 911 conversations at the same time!!!

The autoart GT3RS cars are nice, have asked for a red livery for Xmas, have a blue Scalextric one for everyday play.

Did you build the red and white one Leo?

Hello,
Yes I "liveried" both cars. The 2.7RS is the ultimate 911. The upper one is the wrong body-shape but has the duck-tail. Lower car is the correct body but no-duck-tail. Life is a beach!

Even so, unless you really know your cars they look like 2.7rs’s

The are the ultimate 911 imo, I had the pleasure of a few passenger laps on track in one and for a 37 year old car (at the time) it was an amazing experience. The noise, the quite lively handling and the speed still makes me tingle now.
