It serves as the replacement for the Porsche 911 RSR (991). The car was unveiled in November 2016 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.[4]

The 911 RSR clinched its first victory at the Northeast Grand Prix in July 2017 on Lime Rock Park.[5]

The 911 RSR was developed into a licensed LEGO Technic scale model, released for purchase by the public in 2019.
