A UK-supplied, C16, RHD 911R with Factory Options and just 1,386 miles from new. This C16, UK car was delivered new through Dick Lovett, Swindon on 22-09-2016. Basically the ‘R’ is a GT3 minus a lot of the aero, fitted with the more powerful GT3 RS engine and a six-speed manual gearbox. 991 were built and all sold straight away. The 4.0-litre, naturally-aspirated, flat-six from the GT3RS generates 493bhp at 8250rpm. Massive spec,. two previous keepers and a nominal 1,300 miles from new. All servicing carried out by OPC on time and on schedule. Used very lightly by our known vendor, it's supplied with a fresh MOT, full service history and even has full PPF covering the entire car.
It remains in perfect condition, incident free and retains all original panels and paintwork. Apparently a sufficient number of 911 purists. complained when. Porsche. launched the. 991 GT3 and GTR RS. with only a dual-clutch automatic transmission. and no manual gearbox option. so. Porsche reacted. impressively. quickly with the introduction of the 911R. Basically the ‘R’ is a. GT3. minus a lot of the. aero,. fitted. with. the. more powerful GT3 RS engine, and. boasting a clutch pedal and a six-speed manual gearbox.
It was always going to be made in limited numbers and consequently it was tailored to those vocal customers. who. weren’t interested in ultimate lap times around the Nurburgring but were simply keen on owning a modern 911 that offered the driver involvement and slightly hardcore nature of the earlier cars. Those demanding customers were patently as good as their. collective. word as 991 ‘R’s were built and 991 sold straight away at. an asking price of £136,901,. around. £5,000 more than an RS.
Without the aggressive bodywork or large spoiler of the GT3 RS, to the casual passer-by, this was just another 91. 1. ,. however, to a knowledgeable ‘neunelfer’. it was so much more,. t. he automotive equivalent of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. and, perhaps. ,. the beginning of a legend. T. he ‘R’ used the GT3. bodyshell (not the GT3 RS’s XXL Turbo body) minus. the rear wing, but add. ed. the. GT3 RS. double-bubble magnesium roof, carbon fibre bonnet and a pair of bespoke carbon fibre front wings. Polycarbonate rear and side windows further reduce. d. weight, as they do in the RS. I. nside, there are fixed-back, carbon-shelled bucket seats, no rear seats and no half roll-cage.
The result is the lightest 991 911, at 1370kg. around. 50kg lighter than GT3 RS and 60kg lighter than. the. GT3. The. new car. is powered by the. 4.0-litre, naturally-aspirated, flat-six. from the GT3RS. , up from the GT3’s 3.8-litres. It generates 493bhp at a. howling. 8250rpm,. with p. eak torque of 339lb.ft, 24bhp and 15lb.ft clear of a GT3. Suspension is. based on the. GT3 with two-stage adjustable dampers, dynamic engine mounts (stiffening up under hard cornering and acceleration), rear-wheel steering, a locking rear diff, and carbon-ceramic brakes. GT3-sized 20-inch alloys. (. 245/35 ZR20 front and 305/30 ZR20 rear. ) wear a set of. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
This C16, UK car was delivered new through Dick Lovett, Swindon on 22-09-2016. It has a very high spec and has been enjoyed. by just two previous keepers covering a nominal 1,300 miles from new with all servicing carried out by official Porsche Centres on time and to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. It remains in. perfect condition, incident free and retains all original panels and paintwork. In short, it is an 'investment standard asset'. Used very lightly by our known vendor, it's supplied with a fresh MOT, full service history and even has full PPF covering the entire car. Factory fitted options when new included: Dimming mirrors. BI-Xenons with black reflectors including PDLS.
Cruise Control. Digital Radio. Fire Extinguisher. Front axle lift. Homelink. Light design pack. Lightweight battery. Online services. PCM. Single-mass flywheel. Smoker package. Telephone Module. Two-zone air conditioning. It is, therefore, one of the highest specification cars supplied into the UK market and today is a car that can both be regularly enjoyed, yet can still be regarded as a very solid investment, with the knowledgeable sections of the Motoring Press continuing to suggest that this will be a "£1m - 911" during the next decade.
