The 911 R (2016) is a limited-production, lightweight homologation-style special built on the 991 GT3 RS platform, pairing the naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six with a 6-speed manual only. It deletes the rear seats and wing in favour of a fixed duck-tail spoiler, uses carbon bonnet and wings, a magnesium roof and lightweight glass, and sits roughly 50 kg below the GT3 RS. Limited to 991 units, it is revered as a purist's 911 that revived the spirit of the original 1967 911 R.
It combines a 500 PS, 8,500 rpm motorsport-derived engine with a three-pedal manual in a car deliberately stripped of aero excess, delivering a rare analogue driving experience in the modern 911 era. Its numbered 991-unit production, subtle design and homage to the 1967 original have made it an icon of the end of the naturally aspirated, manual GT car.
