All very good here! Waiting my R for November, hopefully a bit earlier!

Well, as I'm sure you know, asking prices and trading prices are 2 very different things...

Apolo1

Its worth the wait M..I have been driving 911s for over 35 years, Can honestly say from a fun to drive interaction point, the 991 R is the best 911 I have ever driven.

As for prices, be interesting to see what the hammer price is for the Bonhams cars

991R Will be even more worth the wait after 991.2 gt3 comes out with a revised 4.0 engine and a manual..

Apolo1

Don't honestly expect to see the NA 4.0 R engine in GT3.....MT yes I can see that.....

CAlexio

Just remember you posted this. ;-)

Diablo Dude

Sure, if that makes the majority of the people feel good, I think it's a marketing success for Porsche. But you and I both know the 911.2 GT3 will be a complete different car than the R. It will be heavier, more insulation, double mass flywheel, no exotic materials used (i.e. no magnesium roof). I really think the R was created to drive up the demand for the 911.2 GT3. A very smart move by Porsche in my opinion. Create an unicorn that 99% can't get, and then quickly introduce a car that everyone can get and makes people think they are "almost" getting the same thing.

You don't think Porsche is licking their chops at the idea of offering a ~$4,000 flywheel "option" on the 991.2 GT3? I use the term "option" loosely, because much like the 911R, it will almost be necessary.

Apolo1

So basically it will be like a GTS with Power Kit, along with the Truck clutch from the GT4..........

Honestly, if AP didn't kept on "selling" the single mass flywheel on Evo and various other media, the demand for SMFW on the R would be reduced by 50%. Porsche is the master on creating "MUST HAVE" options on their cars!

Me&You

To be fair, a single mass flywheel does change the character of the drivetrain and it suits the 'pure-ness' of the R.

And we are 100% in agreement of Porsche being the master... That's why I believe the single mass flywheel will be an option.
