The "R" stands for Really expensive.

Or, you could read the article.

Instant collector. No telling how much those things are worth down the road.

This is the 911 I always dreamed of and asked myself why Porsche didn't make. I only wish it were actually available to most of us.

Manuals are dead.. Long live Manuals!! Wait.. maybe.. em..
Make up your mind Porsche. Which is it going to be...this week?

P.S. I think they just set a new world record for the number of variants squeezed out of one model.

Agreed. My guess is 2x in 5 years when the manual and normally aspirated 911s are no longer offered by Porsche.

They are only making 500 and 918 buyers have the right of first refusal. So don't plan on getting one.

This. It's going to be a hell of a machine, but I didn't think it would be worth cancelling a GTS allocation in hopes of landing a 911R anytime soon.

Stop toying with my heart. That thing looks gorgeous. Exactly what I'd love for a DD; a de-badged, de-winged GT3.

When will move "official" information be released? My GTS arrives on December 18th. Hmm...
