Replacing Lightning’s slick oval-racing body with some extra downforce and turning ability may not have been on your 2024 bingo card, and yet thanks to Pitlane.be, this Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the film star’s track-focused European doppelganger!
Believe it or not, the original Cars movie burst onto screens around the world way back in 2006, a whole 18 years ago. That means that those who would have been crawling babies when this blockbuster movie hit the silver screen for the first time are now able to legally drive a car, in most countries that is. A lifetimes ago as it may seem, the scenes of Lightning McQueen’s racing debut are very much etched onto the brains of many a car-loving cinema goer, and his iconic livery looks right at home on just about any red car, but we think this 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is perfect.
With a 0-62 mph time of just 3.3 seconds, this 991 GT3 RS has become a true high water mark for the lineage, being at the very top when it comes to drivability and enjoyment. This example was once finished in Lava Orange, but now proudly wears all the correct decals of #95, sporting wrap-matched wheels with contrasting yellow wheel lips and brake callipers. Inside, the racing red continues, with two-tone Alcantara bucket seats and all the race gear you’d need for the ultimate track day.
Whether you’re looking for a head-turning tribute to a new-age movie icon, or the ultimate track weapon complete with livery, this 911 is a worthy addition to any collection! Now, just imagine how cool it would look next to Sally?
