Tamiya 58740 - 1/10 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 BT-01 Street Circuit Kit  [58740]

Icon on the Track: Tamiya Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 Mounted on BT-01

The Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 is a benchmark for classic GT models, and Tamiya has re-created its presence in 1/10 scale using the BT-01 chassis. The model reflects the real car's midship rear motor and rear-wheel drive arrangement to give a convincing, period-correct handling character for scale racing or display.

Background of the Carrera RSR 2.8

The Carrera RSR 2.8 evolved from the famous 2.7 series and saw major success in 1973 endurance and GT events. Its 2,808cc flat-six, developing over 300hp in race specification, made it a competitive force and a durable icon of European motorsport.

What the BT-01 Delivers

The BT-01 chassis focuses on flexibility and ease of use. Two wheelbase choices and configurable drive layouts let builders set the car up for different styles. The layout also lets you make adjustments without disturbing the motor or battery, and the independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps keep handling predictable.

Finish and Electronics

This assembly kit includes a 540-brushed motor and ESC, but requires a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2-7.4volt battery to be fully operational. Use Tamiya PS paints for the polycarbonate body to achieve accurate colour and a durable finish.

For model builders who value authenticity and tunability, the Tamiya Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 on the BT-01 chassis delivers both a collectible body and a capable on-road platform to enjoy at the track or on display.
