Porsche 911 RSR-19 No.72 Hub Auto Racing 1st Hyper

A milestone of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1/64 scale: the Porsche 911 RSR-19 No.72 from Hub Auto Racing, now in your display case thanks to Spark Models.

Few moments in the recent history of endurance motorsport carry the symbolic weight of what the Hub Auto Racing No.72 achieved at Le Mans. A private team, with a Porsche 911 RSR-19, secured the Pole Position in the LMGTE Pro category, something that until then seemed reserved exclusively for factory programmes. Dries Vanthoor, Álvaro Parente, and Maxime Martin together wrote a page that GT fans will not forget.

Scale and Level of Detail

The 1/64 scale from Spark Models is not a reduced version of their 1/43 pieces: it is a family with its own identity, designed for those who want to collect complete fleets from Le Mans, the WEC, or the ELMS without the need for large display cases. Nevertheless, Spark maintains its usual standards in this scale: the decoration of Hub Auto Racing is reproduced with its official colours and sponsors, the optics are detailed, and the silhouette of the 911 RSR-19 — with its unique aerodynamic geometry — is easily recognisable at a glance.

The double-pillar wing (“swan-neck”) and the large rear diffuser, defining elements of the RSR-19 specification, are present and well-proportioned in relation to the overall model.

Ideal for…

• Collectors who follow the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans and want to represent historic moments in the GT category.
• Fans of Porsche in competition who already own or are looking to complete the saga of the 911 RSR in its various versions and teams.
• Those who collect in 1/64 scale to maximise the number of displayed pieces in a limited space.
• A gift for an endurance motorsport enthusiast: a piece with real history behind it, not just a generic replica.

Points to Consider

As a 1/64 scale collectible miniature, this model is not compatible with any slot system or track: it is designed exclusively for display in a case. The piece comes factory assembled; no assembly is required. As is customary in the high-end diecast segment, it is recommended to handle it with care and keep it away from direct sunlight to preserve the colours of the decoration in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it suitable for playing with or just for collection?

It is a diecast collectible miniature in 1/64 scale. It is not designed for use on a slot track or as a toy; its value lies in the detail of the decoration and the historical milestone it represents.

Does it come in a blister or closed box?

Spark 1/64 models are typically presented in a blister or window box, allowing the piece to be appreciated without opening it. Check the product images to confirm the specific packaging for this reference Y270.

What is the difference between the Porsche 911 RSR and the 911 RSR-19?

The suffix “-19” indicates the evolution introduced for the 2019 season, with significant aerodynamic changes compared to the previous version: new double-pillar wing, revised rear diffuser, and modifications to the overall aerodynamic management. It is the specification that continued in competition until 2021.

Does this model have moving parts or additional accessories?

In 1/64 scale, Spark models are closed pieces without moving parts or removable accessories. The focus is on the fidelity of the decoration and the exterior proportions of the model.

Is it a limited edition?

Spark Models produces its references in controlled runs, so the availability of specific units may sell out without restocking. If you are interested in this reference, it is advisable not to delay your decision.
