Porsche has long prioritized driver engagement in every iteration of the 911, and in 2016 the brand introduced one of the most focused, analog expressions of that philosophy: the 911 R. Weight reduction was equally critical, with carbon fiber body panels sourced from the GT3 and a magnesium roof panel derived from the GT3 RS.
Currently offered on PCARMARKET, this is example number 112 of just 991 units built worldwide. It remains in exceptional condition, showing only 2,361 miles. The car is finished in the 911 R’s launch livery of White, accented by red racing stripes over the roof and black side stripes with red Porsche script. Options include black LED headlights with PDLS, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and 20-inch GT3 center-lock wheels finished in Satin Platinum.
The cabin features black leather upholstery paired with carbon fiber trim and optional deviated red stitching. Equipment includes heated 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with 911 R-embroidered headrests, silver seatbelts, a 360mm three-spoke Sport steering wheel, illuminated carbon fiber door sills, a vintage-style Sport Chrono stopwatch, and a numbered limitation badge on the glovebox. Comfort and technology highlights include automatic climate control, the Light Design Package, a BOSE Surround Sound System, and Porsche Communication Management with navigation.
At its core, the 911 R is a precision-focused driver’s car. Power comes from the GT3’s 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six producing 500 horsepower, paired exclusively with a bespoke six-speed manual transmission. A reinforced clutch and optional single-mass flywheel sharpen throttle response to near race-car immediacy.
Borrowed GT3 hardware includes Porsche Active Suspension Management, rear-axle steering, Ceramic Composite Brakes with yellow calipers, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. An extended-range fuel tank, aluminum-look fuel filler cap, front-axle lift system, and additional carbon fiber detailing complete this highly refined and collectible 911 R.
