Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva International Motor Show, the new Porsche
911 R is a pure-bred sports car built to conform to a time-honoured
formula; a powerful 500 hp (368 kW) four-litre naturally-aspirated
flat-six engine driving the rear wheels, a six-speed manual
transmission, and a lightweight body. It is also limited to just 991
examples worldwide
These characteristics place the 911 R
firmly in the tradition of its historic namesake: a road-homologated
racing car from 1967. Produced as part of a limited production series,
the original 911 R was campaigned in iconic road races of the period,
such as the Tour de France and Targa Florio, and also in world record
runs.
Like its legendary predecessor, the new 911 R offers an
unfiltered driving experience, delivered via systematic lightweight
construction and a devotion to maximum performance: this special model
has an overall weight of 1,370 kilograms and is thus the lightest
version of the 911. With a high-revving six-cylinder naturally aspirated
engine and manual sports transmission, Porsche is once again
underlining its commitment to especially emotional high-performance
sports cars. Developed in the Motorsport workshop, the 911 R extends the
spectrum of high-performance naturally-aspirated engines alongside the
motor sport-inspired, track-bred models 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS.
In
the rear of the 911 R lies the charismatic flat-six ‘boxer’ engine with
a displacement of four-litres, familiar from the 911 GT3 RS. The
race-bred engine delivers 500 hp at 8,250 rpm and generates 460 Nm at
6,250 rpm.
From a standing start, 0-60 mph is possible in 3.7
seconds. In keeping with the pure character of the 911 R, it is
available exclusively with a six-speed manual sports transmission. The
short gearshift travel emphasises the interactive driving experience.
The forward thrust of the 911 R continues to a potential top speed of
201 mph (323 km/h), and Combined NEDC fuel consumption is 21.2 mpg (13.3
l/100 km).
