One Le Mans legend. Fifty-two pages.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1951 a Porsche 356 SL took a class win at Le Mans, and Zuffenhausen has been at the front ever since — Le Mans, the Nürburgring, Daytona, and the roughest rally stages there are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe car in this box is the one that changed the arithmetic. The \u003cstrong\u003e911 Carrera RSR Turbo 2.1\u003c\/strong\u003e was Porsche's first turbocharged 911, and the turbo took it from around 300 horsepower to over 460.

That engine went on to become the 936.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis officially licensed advent calendar builds that car one piece at a time. Open a door a day through December and assemble a \u003cstrong\u003e1:43 scale model of the Carrera RSR Turbo 2.1\u003c\/strong\u003e. Parts plug and screw together.
