The 911 R 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 deck lid and front fenders, a model-specific front lip and rear underbody splitter, a retractable spoiler, and an aluminum grille. This example is finished in black and features LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting System (PDLS), fog lights, an Akrapovic carbon-fiber rear diffuser, dual exhaust outlets, carbon-fiber mirror caps, and a speed-activated rear spoiler.
The 20″ center-lock GT3 alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires measuring 245/35 up front and 305/30 at the rear. Adjustable suspension underpinnings and rear-axle steering were shared with the contemporary GT3, though specially tuned for the 911 R. Stopping power is provided by yellow six- and four-piston monobloc calipers over ceramic-composite rotors at each corner. The optional front-axle lift raises the car on command to help prevent scraping.
The carbon-fiber full bucket seats are trimmed in black leather with houndstooth inserts, 911 R-embroidered headrests, and color-contrasting stitching that extends to the center armrest, dashboard, and door panels. Carbon-fiber trim accents the cabin, and additional appointments include a roll cage, silver seatbelts, aluminum pedal covers, Porsche-branded floor mats, automatic climate control, a CD stereo, cruise control, and PCM infotainment with navigation. Blemishes are visible on the driver’s door sill.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 225-mph speedometer and a 10k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates just over 5k miles, approximately 3,800 of which were added under current ownership.
The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six was shared with the contemporary GT3 RS and was factory rated at 500 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in April 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring. The car is equipped with a single-mass flywheel with a reinforced clutch as well as an extended-range fuel tank and an Akrapovic exhaust system.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Champion Porsche of Pompano Beach, Florida, and lists factory colors, equipment, options, and a total price of $214,735.
