Another Porsche LEGO set - building the 911 RSR

After my success with Porsche GT3 RS I decided to add another, a little smaller and less complicated, yet still cool Porsche lego set - the Porsche 911 RSR made of 1580 pieces based on the real race car (991 version) which I got myself for Christmas 2020 - to basically cheer myself up in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Here’s how the build process went down:

• Step 1 - suspension and wheels 🛞
• Step 2 - famous Porsche 6-cylinder boxer engine
• Step 3 - time for some famous Porsche shape
• Final Step - find a place to put it!
• What I’m getting this Christmas?

Step 1 - suspension and wheels 🛞

We start at the very bottom of the car:

Until we build the Porsche sport suspension for all four wheels:

Side note: I like to put the lego pieces in the old boxes of my iPads or iPhones. This way I can easily find the pieces I need for each stage of build.

Step 2 - famous Porsche 6-cylinder boxer engine

Now it’s time to put the engine in the car. It’s 2017 Porsche 911 RSR, 991 generation which:

It was still a naturally aspirated engine based on the engine generation of the 911 GT3 R and 911 GT3 Cup with direct injection. Depending on the size of the restrictor, the 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder developed around 375 kW (510 hp)

After the engine, it was time for steering wheel and continued drive train build:

Step 3 - time for some famous Porsche shape

Bodywork of the car is beginning to take shape:

Then go the headlights and more details:

Final Step - find a place to put it!

Here’s the finished car on January 30 next to my other lego sets:

And here was its place in my 2021 office.

What I’m getting this Christmas?

This Christmas, as per tradition, I’m getting a new LEGO set, this time it’s R2 D2 Star Wars - I always wanted to have this robot in my home office and I can’t wait to build it!
