The Details
This 2016 Porsche 911 R presents in GT Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior with GT Silver stitching, showing 1,369 miles from new accompanied by its original window sticker reflecting an as-delivered MSRP of $207,675. The 911 R's position in the collector market requires little elaboration — limited to 991 units worldwide, it arrived as Porsche's most driver-focused 991-generation road car and has since become one of the most recognized modern collector Porsches in existence, its value driven not by power output or technology but by the deliberate simplicity of its specification.
Power comes from the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six shared with the GT3 RS, producing 500 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 339 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed GT Sport manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The manual gearbox is the 911 R's defining mechanical statement — at a time when Porsche's own data showed the PDK to be faster in every measurable context, the decision to fit only a manual was a philosophical one, and the market's response has validated it decisively. The combination of GT3 RS engine, manual gearbox, magnesium roof, carbon fiber front fenders and luggage lid, and deleted rear wing produces a car that weighs less and communicates more than any other 991 variant, track-focused or otherwise.
The original window sticker documents the as-delivered option selection: front axle lift, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, Sport Chrono Package, LED headlights with PDLS, carbon fiber exterior mirror caps, illuminated door sill guards, red stripes with Porsche script, black seat belts, and high-gloss black painted wheels — a specification that covers the R's key performance and visual options without excess. GT Silver Metallic is among the most natural color choices for the 911 R's clean, stripe-accented body, presenting the car's lightweight intentions with appropriate restraint.
At 1,369 miles, with its original window sticker on file, this is among the more compelling 911 R ownership opportunities the market will present. The cars are not becoming easier to find in this condition.
