Equipment includes a single-mass flywheel, 20″ center-lock GT3 alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow calipers, rear-axle steering, a single-mass flywheel, bi-xenon headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and cruise control. This 991 911 R has 4,300 miles and is now offered in California by the selling dealer as part of Wob’s Icons of Zuffenhausen Collection with a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a South Carolina title.
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 black stripes and features bi-xenon headlights in black with PDLS, the Light Design Package, fog lights, side stripes with black Porsche scripts, and a speed-activated rear spoiler.
The 20″ GT3 alloy wheels feature center-locking hubs and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 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 cabin features full bucket seats seats upholstered in black leather and Pepita houndstooth cloth as well as a color-matching dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpets. The car came equipped from the factory without air conditioning or a stereo.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 225-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8,600-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 4,300 miles.
The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six was shared with the contemporary GT3 RS and was factory rated at 500 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring. The car is equipped with an extended-range fuel tank as well as a single-mass flywheel with a reinforced clutch.
