This is a new release of the new for 2022 Porsche 911 GT3. Available in a variety of colors & with or without the Touring package (no giant rear wing). Very well done by Norev. My only gripe is the lack of rear opening...either the engine deck lid or the pop up rear spoiler would have been nice.
with its older siblings (996.1 & 997.1 by AutoArt, 991 by Minichamps)

That IS a nice Norev; it's beautifully done (love that "frunk!" ) but that sealed engine compartment would be a deal-breaker for me. Afterall, Porsche is synonymous with "rear engine," not being able to see it, in this otherwise gorgeous replica, is a real shame. 😔 😔 😔
PS
Gavin, your pics are terrific; I know that interior pic WOULD fool some people. I had to look twice!

A fine looking Norev Porsche 911 and it looks particularly good in that gleaming blue color. Very nice replica !

@chris...thanks very much. I truly appreciate that. Pretty happy with how this set turned out, but the car is also very photogenic. 😊
Regarding the non-opening rear, to be fair, there is NOTHING to see on the 1:1 except 2 fans. The flip up wing may have been a better choice.
