2016 PORSCHE 911 R - 1,489 MILES

KEY FACTS

• A pristine, very low-mileage example of Porsche’s revered 911 R, the pinnacle of the 991-era range, combining the GT3 RS engine, titanium exhaust system, and a six-speed manual transmission specifically developed for the 911 R.
• Powered by the renowned 500hp naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine, that revs out to 8,500rpm, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.
• This left-hand drive car was registered and delivered to Panama but is currently stored in a secure, climate controlled, bonded warehouse operated by CARS Europe in Suffolk, UK.
• PLEASE NOTE: The next owner will be responsible for the cost of any import duty or tax that may be due on top of the hammer price, depending on where they wish to re-register the car.
• It is accompanied by its Certificate of Conformity to aid this process. 

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Designed as the purest iteration of the 991 generation, the 911 R was launched to universal acclaim. This example is equipped with the sought-after lightweight single-mass flywheel to further enhance driving enjoyment and save weight.
• Out of the 991 built, this is number 690, and one of only 261 produced in GT Silver Metallic, complemented by a superb interior of brown leather with Houndstooth inserts and carbon fibre.
• The 911 R was designed and built with the purist in mind, featuring carbon fibre front wings and bonnet, a magnesium roof, only two seats and carbon-ceramic brakes.        
• Weight-saving efforts are also apparent throughout the interior, including fixed-back, carbon fibre bucket seats, plastic quarter and rear windows, deletion of 5kg of deadening material and deletion of the audio and navigation equipment. This example has been fitted with the optional air conditioning.
• The car is in its original condition with no modifications.
