For Sale at Auction: 2016 Porsche 911 R in Carmel, California

Chassis No. WP0AF2A91GS195181
911 R No. 112/991

Powerful, engaging, and classic, the limited-production 911 R combined the otherworldly 500-horsepower 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six of the GT3 RS with the wingless body of the 911 and, crucially, a six-speed 'GT Sport' manual transmission developed specifically for the new model in place of the GT3 RS's dual-clutch PDK. As standard, each 911 R featured Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, a titanium exhaust system, a magnesium roof panel, a carbon fiber front lid and front fenders, making it the lightest 911 variant in the model range at debut, some 112 pounds lighter than the GT3 RS.

The new "911 R-specific" six-speed manual, with its closer ratios and shortened throws, created a connection between driver and car in a way no PDK-equipped Porsche could. Any magazine or YouTube channel that could get their hands on a press car raved about the sound, power, and pure driving experience that awaited those fortunate enough to sit behind the wheel.

Its stripped-back simplicity combined with retro styling cues like its simplified interior and Red or Green exterior stripes linking it back to the 1967 911 R continues to make it one of the most desirable 911 variants of the past decade. It was so desirable, in fact, that it helped normalize the allocation and waitlist culture surrounding Porsche's most coveted models and became the first jewel in the crown for 918 Spyder Circle members.

Produced in September 2016, 911 R limitation number 112 was delivered new through Momentum Porsche (now Porsche River Oaks) of Houston, Texas in November 2016. No doubt inspired by the Communication Color livery in Porsche's marketing materials, this well-optioned 911 R is finished in White with optional Red Satin side scripts, Red Decorative Side Stripes, and lightweight matte Silver centerlock wheels. The Black leather interior features the optional Deviated Stitching (Guards Red) Interior Package, heated Adaptive 18-way Sport Seats, Sport Chrono Package, Light Design Package, and BOSE Surround Sound System. Additional desirable options include Front Axle Lift System, LED Headlights in Black with PDLS, Extended Range Fuel Tank, Fuel Cap in Aluminum Look, and more. A full accounting of the options list is available in the history file.

Its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report reveals that 911 R number 112 accumulated just 48 miles with its first owner and an additional 52 with its second by 2020. Its third and most recent owner added the majority of the car's mileage, though use remained sparing, with the odometer showing just 2,348 miles by November 2025 when it was offered for sale by Porsche San Antonio as a Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned example. At the time of certification, the dealer conducted an inspection and its scheduled 10,000-mile service.

Rare is the opportunity to acquire an era-defining supercar like the 911 R, let alone with just 2,408 miles. Offered with its books, two keys, and its fitted indoor car cover, 911 R number 112 presents much as it would have in late 2016, offering its next owner the opportunity to experience one of Porsche's defining modern road cars in a condition that still recalls the excitement of its original launch.
