LEGO Lab, the platform where LEGO designers test their new ideas and collect feedback directly from the users, has just revealed the prototype of an incredibly advanced and “fully autonomous” LEGO Mindstorms Porsche 911 RSR set.
The Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1 Street race car is a classic RC model. Originally released as the Le Mans race car replica, this kit recreates the “Street Legal” car that was released for homologation purposes. This replica returns on the TA03R-S chassis, which is a short wheelbase variant of Tamiya’s highly successful and fun TA03 4WD touring car.
Exactly three years after LEGO’s legendary 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Billund’s designers choose to create a replica of the 911 RSR. This new set includes 1,580 pieces and is already on sale in Japan (will be available on December 26, while American AFOLs will have to wait till January first to buy it).
This new replica has been developed in partnership with Porsche, this authentic replica captures the vehicle’s powerful appearance with its sharp contours and aerodynamic detailing, including a rear wing with ‘swan neck’ mounts, extended rear diffuser and specially designed side mirrors.
