Delivered new to its first and only owner in Monaco through Centro
Porsche Firenze, this 911 R is presented in the quintessential
colour scheme for Porsche's 911 R, the most desirable variant of
the 991.1-generation of 911. Finished in White with Green stripes,
black wheels, and clear rear taillights, the interior is trimmed in
brown leather with the quintessential houndstooth seat inserts,
harkening back to 911s of yesteryear. The interior also boasts
contrast stitching in silver, with matching silver door pulls.
Porsche PCM satellite navigation system and Sport Chrono pack are
also included as options. Importantly, the car is accompanied by
its original invoice and service invoices from December 2018.
Hearing the calls of enthusiasts worldwide, Porsche first
introduced the 911 R at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, this new car
boasted the drivetrain of the 991.1-generation GT3 RS, but was
mated to a manual gearbox instead of Porsche PDK dual-clutch
transmission, and without the GT3 RS' aggressive bodywork and
spoiler. Other subtle changes were made to the suspension and
steering in an effort to make a truly enjoyable analog driving
experience, not one that was about all-out lap times. Without the
GT3 RS' large rear spoiler, to the casual observer, this was just a
911, but to the die-hard Porsche enthusiast, it was so much
more.
Having travelled just over 2,000 km from new, this 911 R is in
excellent condition throughout. It would be an exciting addition to
any Porsche collection as it combines GT-levels of performance with
a slightly more subtle look and can be enjoyed whenever and
wherever its next owner desires.
