The Details
This 2016 Porsche 911 R presents in White with the signature 911 R green longitudinal stripes over a Black leather interior with GT Silver contrast stitching, showing just 303 miles from new in completely stock, never-tracked condition. Documentation is exceptional — full service records, original window sticker, books and manuals, all original paperwork, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity accompany the sale. The 911 R was produced in a limited run of 991 units worldwide, a number chosen deliberately to reference the 911's internal project designation, and represents the purest distillation of the 991-generation 911 that Porsche offered to the public — a car built without compromise around the manual gearbox and naturally aspirated engine at a moment when both were already disappearing from Porsche's broader lineup.
Power comes from Porsche's 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six — the engine shared with the GT3 RS — producing 500 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The decision to offer the 911 R only with a manual gearbox was a deliberate philosophical statement from Porsche's GT department, acknowledging the growing demand from a segment of the market for an analog, driver-focused 911 unencumbered by the weight and complexity of the PDK. The engine revs to 8,500 rpm, and the Sport Exhaust amplifies the flat-six's naturally aspirated character through the entire rev range — a combination that produces one of the most celebrated driving experiences in the modern 911 canon. The 911 R was capable of lapping the Nürburgring in 7:08.5 at the time of its release.
The weight reduction program is extensive and factory-executed. Carbon fiber fenders replace the standard steel items, a magnesium roof reduces mass high in the body, carbon fiber floor mats, carbon fiber luggage compartment, and carbon fiber door sill guards with 911 R identification collectively shift the car's kerb weight to 1,370 kg — approximately 50 kg lighter than the GT3 RS it shares its engine with. The 20-inch center-locking wheels, a feature carried from Porsche's GT racing program, eliminate the conventional wheel bolt interface in favor of a single central nut, reducing unsprung weight and enabling faster wheel changes. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes provide the braking performance appropriate to the 911 R's performance envelope, with fade resistance and pedal consistency across repeated hard applications.
The chassis is managed by Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management and Porsche Stability Management with ABS, operating over a MacPherson strut front suspension with anti-roll bar — a setup that translates the 911 R's weight reduction and mechanical grip into a handling balance that has been universally praised as among the most communicative of any modern road car. The Sport Chrono Package is fitted, adding the dashboard-mounted stopwatch, Chrono mode, and lap trigger preparation. The Front Axle Lift System raises the nose for practical use over urban obstacles, while the Extended Range 23.9-gallon fuel tank extends touring range consistent with the car's grand touring capability.
The interior is trimmed in Black leather with GT Silver stitching applied throughout under the Extended Leather Interior Package — dashboard, door panels, center console, and steering wheel all receiving the contrast thread. Full Bucket Seats with electric height adjustment provide the lateral support appropriate to the 911 R's track-capable dynamics while accommodating a broad range of driver sizing. The Central Tachometer instrument panel places the rev counter at the center of the gauge cluster, a layout borrowed from Porsche's GT racing cars that prioritizes engine speed information above all else. The SportDesign exterior mirrors with carbon fiber upper trim, aluminum fuel cap, aluminum model designation plaque, color-matched vehicle key, factory gray top tint on the windshield, Light Design Package, Electronic Logbook, Bose Surround Sound System, fire extinguisher, and smoking package complete a specification that reads as both comprehensively equipped and entirely factory-correct.
At 303 miles, this 911 R has effectively never been used — a time-capsule example of one of the most significant and collectible modern Porsches, presented in the most iconic color and stripe combination available, with documentation that leaves no question unanswered regarding its history, specification, or provenance.
