Description
Powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six linked with a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential, it is finished in white with green stripes over Tarpan Brown and black leather with Houndstooth-style cloth inserts. The car was optioned with the Sport Chrono Package, 20″ center-lock GT3 alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow calipers, a front-axle lift system, rear-axle steering, LED headlights with PDLS+, a speed-activated rear spoiler, PCM with navigation, carbon-fiber full bucket seats, a Bose sound system, and carbon-fiber illuminated door sill guards.
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 white with green stripes, side graphics, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting System Plus, fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint protection film is said to have been applied to the front bumper cover, hood, fenders, and side mirrors.
The 20″ GT3 alloy wheels feature center-locking hubs and are mounted with 245/35 front and 305/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. 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 carbon-fiber full bucket seats are upholstered in Tarpan Brown leather with Houndstooth-style cloth inserts, “911 R” embroidery on the headrests, and color-contrasting stitching that extends to the dashboard, center console, steering column, and door panels. Carbon-fiber trim accents the cabin, and additional appointments include automatic climate control, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, cruise control, carbon-fiber illuminated door sill guards, a fire extinguisher, and PCM infotainment with navigation.
