PORSCHE 911 991 RSR-19 4.2L TEAM WEATHERTECH RACING N 79

The Spark Models 1/64 scale miniature of the Porsche 911 RSR-19 WeatherTech Racing No. 79 accurately captures one of the most iconic GTs of modern motorsport.

Spark Models has been a global reference in diecast competition miniatures for decades, and its 1/64 scale line demonstrates that detail knows no size. This piece faithfully reproduces the Porsche 911 RSR-19 from the 991 generation, the most advanced evolution of the 911 in the GTE category, featuring its 4.2-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine mounted in a mid-rear position, an exclusive configuration of the RSR version designed to optimise weight distribution and active aerodynamics.

Scale and Level of Detail

In 1/64 scale, Spark Models does not compromise on any defining visual element of the RSR-19: the widened body with pronounced wheel arch extensions, the integrated side air intakes, the imposing multi-profile rear wing, and the flat-bottom aerodynamics with rear diffuser are reproduced with a fidelity worthy of larger scales. The WeatherTech Racing livery —in white with red details and the unmistakable main sponsor branding— is presented with clean and well-defined graphics, including the logos of technical sponsors in their correct positions.

Historical and Competitive Context

WeatherTech Racing is one of the best-known private teams in North American motorsport. Based in the USA and backed by the automotive accessory manufacturer WeatherTech, the team has regularly participated in both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the Porsche 911 RSR-19 has been its main weapon in the GTE-Am category. The combination of a state-of-the-art chassis with the 4.2L mid-rear flat-six engine makes the RSR-19 one of the most technically pure GTs in recent endurance history.

The number 79 has raced on demanding circuits such as La Sarthe, Sebring, Daytona, and Road Atlanta, making this miniature a direct testament to the history of contemporary endurance motorsport.

Ideal for…

This piece is designed for collectors looking to complete their GT grid in 1/64 scale, for those who passionately follow the IMSA championship or the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and for diecast enthusiasts who value livery fidelity above all.

As a 1/64 scale miniature, some fine details of the cockpit or running gear may be simplified compared to scales like 1/43 or 1/18. It is a static collectible piece: it is not designed for track use and is not compatible with racing systems.
