Vehicle Description
The Porsche 911R was a limited-production variant developed in the
spirit of the 1967 homologation special of the same name. Styling
was based on that of the contemporary 911 GT3, with construction
elements borrowed from the GT3 RS, including a magnesium roof panel
and a carbon-fiber hood. The model also featured a carbon-fiber
decklid and front fenders, a model-specific front lip spoiler and
rear underbody splitter, a retractable spoiler and an aluminum
grille. The 911R was limited to just 991 examples for the world and
was made for one year only, the 2016 model year. All 911Rs were
numbered; this example is #375 out of 991. The dash plaque numbers
each example made. This 2016 Porsche 911R is powered by a 4.0-liter
water-cooled 6-cylinder engine producing 500hp and 339 ft/lbs of
torque. This example is finished in white with red center stripes
and black side stripes, as well as black Porsche script accents.
Features include an extended-range fuel tank with a 23.9-liter
capacity, front-axle lift system, air conditioning, Bose
surround-sound system, SiriusXM satellite radio, NavTraffic,
NavWeather and HD radio receiver, 911R stripes in red, auto-dimming
mirrors with integrated rain sensor, Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), that includes a navigation module and a
speed-activated rear spoiler. Fitted to the 911 are silver 20-inch
center-lock wheels mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
Adjustable suspension underpinnings and rear-axle steering were
shared with the contemporary GT3, but were specially tuned for the
911R, which also featured yellow 6- and 4-piston monobloc calipers
mounted over ceramic-composite rotors at each corner as standard
equipment. Carbon-fiber-backed bucket seats are upholstered in
black leather with Pepita cloth inserts and silver contrast
stitching. The dashboard and door panels are trimmed in black
leather, while carbon-fiber trim accents the dashboard, center
console and door sills. Installed in this 911R is the single-mass
flywheel and reinforced clutch matted to a model-specific 6-speed
manual gearbox. The 911R was only offered in a manual gearbox,
unlike the GT3 RS, which were all PDK transmissions. 915 actual
miles.
