About the Porsche 911 996 GT3 R #6 24 Hours of Daytona GT Class Winner 2002 AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 911 996 GT3 R #6 recreates the GT class-winning car from the 2002 24 Hours of Daytona, with opening doors and hood over a zinc-alloy body. A dedicated endurance racing replica for IMSA and Porsche motorsport collections.
Daytona's 24-hour race rewards durability as much as speed, and the #6 GT3 R's class win in 2002 gives this diecast a specific, verifiable result to stand behind rather than a generic livery.
AUTOart's Race-Spec Diecast Construction
The zinc-alloy body carries the weight collectors expect from a die-cast racer, dense enough to feel substantial when lifted from its display base, and the tooling holds the GT3 R's flared fenders and rear wing mounts with crisp, even edges. Doors and hood open, exposing a simplified cabin with roll cage detail and the cockpit livery that separates a race car build from any street 911. That access matters on a race subject: opening the hood shows engine bay framing consistent with the car's stripped-down competition spec, and it lets the sponsor decals and number panels be inspected from multiple angles rather than just head-on. The livery print itself sits crisp against the body color, with sharp registration around the number six and the class-winning branding.
The 996 GT3 R's Endurance Racing Context
The 996-generation GT3 R was Porsche's GT weapon through the early 2000s, built to compete in North American endurance series where reliability over 24 hours mattered as much as outright pace. A GT class win at Daytona is a real, specific credential, distinct from an overall win, and it places this exact car within IMSA's GT history rather than treating "race car" as a generic label. For a collector building a Porsche motorsport shelf, this model pairs naturally with other GT3-generation race liveries or other Daytona-winning cars from the same era, letting a themed display trace how Porsche's GT program evolved across successive 911 generations. At roughly 22cm, the model holds its own alongside other 1:18 GT racers without dominating the shelf.
