21.10.2025A wrapping between Le Mans and Nürburgring

The 24-hour race at the Nürburgring has been a fixture on the international motorsport calendar for decades, and in 2024 it once again lived up to its reputation as an unpredictable spectacle in the Eifel region. Amidst fog banks, changeable conditions, and race interruptions, one car attracted attention with its livery: the Porsche 911 GT3 R with starting number 5, fielded by Herberth Motorsport, whose livery recalls the legendary long-running Porsche that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1994.

The model in scale 1:18 from Ixo brings this special moment to the collector's display. The proportions are harmonious, and the lines of the 992 GT3 R are perfectly captured. Particularly noteworthy is the meticulously recreated Le Mans lookalike design with all its details: from the dynamic paintwork to the sponsor logos and the authentic starting number. Every element of the model reflects the spirit of the original and authentically captures the connection between the Nürburgring and Le Mans.

At the wheel of the 911 GT3 R were four drivers, Matt Campbell, Vincent Kolb, Dennis Olsen, and Robert Renauer, who brought both experience and speed. Despite the weather-related race cancellation early on Sunday, the quartet's performance was memorable – a symbol of commitment, precision, and teamwork under challenging conditions. The Herberth Motorsport team ultimately finished sixteenth in the overall standings.

Herberth Motorsport stands for passion, family spirit, and sporting ambition. Founded by Alfred and Robert Renauer, the team has established itself over the years as a major player in international GT racing. Whether at the 24 Hours of Spa, in the GT World Challenge, or on the Nordschleife, the team impresses with precision, strategy, and a clear commitment to the Porsche brand. The entry of the Le Mans-inspired 911 GT3 R in 2024 is another example of how tradition and vision go hand in hand at Herberth Motorsport.

Anyone who places this model on their shelf will not only be bringing home a meticulously detailed collector's item, but also a piece of motorsport history – including a stylish bridge between two of the world's most important endurance races.
