Poll: Is the Porsche 911 R the Best Modern Day Porsche?
I love modern technology, and I also love lightning-quick dual-clutch transmissions, over old-fashion and slower manuals, but that being said, not all of us are after tenths of seconds and record-breaking lap times.
A manual gearbox allows one to bond with the car, feel it, and tweak it as you please, and that’s why the Porsche 911 R is most likely the best Porsche in many, many years. A naturally aspirated, 500 horsepower 4.0 liter flat-six engine, power to the rear-wheels, and a do-it-yourself manual gearbox, makes this Porsche a driver’s Porsche, but also a collector’s Porsche.
The interior is equally tantalizing, with carbon fiber seat buckets wrapped in old-school plaid cloth, brown leather seat bolsters, hand-stitched leather steering wheel, and rear-seat delete.
If you haven’t snatched one by now, you’re most likely out of luck, as Porsche claims all 911 Rs were sold out before its debut.
Enough of the facts, enjoy the photos!
