Porsche like in the good old days. Hand- and legwork in the 911 R
- 5 years ago
A car for purists who want to have complete control over their vehicle. Pure, raw manual shifting.
Nothing against TipTronic, lots of comfort and gliding along smoothly but fast in a Porsche. Many enjoy it. It's completely understandable. But there are also purists who want to feel their car, who want to shift gears manually the traditional way, who want to experience the road and hear the typical growl of a naturally-aspirated Porsche six-cylinder boxer engine. The 911 R is for them. What a car! Old school, yet powerfully modern. How? For Porsche engineers, this was a project of honor, a project for drivers who are the center of attention, a project that is a salute to sports car culture. Deep in the rear of the 911 R sits the high-rev concept engine. The unit achieves an impressive maximum rotation speed of 8,500 rpm. The Boxer is able to draw 500 hp out of its four liters of displacement. Its maximum torque: 460 Nm at 6,250 rpm. But please ... don't even think about buying one of the only 991 limited-edition 911s. Because - we're very sorry - they sold out a long time ago.
