2016 Porsche 911R

The 2016 911R is among the most sought-after Porsches ever built. With inspiration from its legendary namesake, the 1967 911R — of which Ferdinand Piëch created just 23 units — the 2016 reiteration put weight reduction and performance first, as its R code for 'racing' intended. 1 series, only 991 units were produced, and they have only appreciated in value since debuting at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

0-litre flat-six breathes fire within the lightest 911 body produced to date — a redline of 8,500 rpm, 338 lb-ft of torque, and a spirited 500 horsepower, all mated to a true six-speed gearbox with an OG clutch pedal. Weight reduction was achieved through carbon fiber front fenders, bonnet lid, and seat backrests; a featherlight magnesium roof; titanium exhaust; and forged aluminum 20-inch wheels with center locks. Equipped with carbon-ceramic brake rotors, limited-slip differential, and rear-axle steering.

This 911R boasts options including radio, air-conditioning, fabric loops in place of interior door pulls, and the desirable 14-inch single-mass flywheel. The interior is trimmed in carbon fiber with white-stitched black leather and striking houndstooth-inlaid racing seats bearing the 911R logo. Curbside, the exterior sports rare Porsche Special Wishes blue racing stripes and side-panel Porsche logo with black 20-inch rims.

Accompanied by the original window sticker, maintenance records, and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity — 1 of only 300 that made it to US shores.
