Supposed pics of the rumored 911R surfaced today...

 

needs a ducktail then will look sweeter

 

im feeling it.... about as pure as one can get in a 991.

 

Too bad they can't make it with a shorter wheelbase

 

Slightly higher resolution and more here:

Don't like the front bumper, probably is v.light & aero but lacks the grace of original.

 

agree

 

lol.
aint that the truth!

 

I was told this will be limited to just 50 examples does anyone know if that is true?

 

I read somewhere that 600 are planned .... I would dismiss 50 as its hardley worth the effort for Porsche. High 3 digits or low 4 digits is more plausible.

Only time Porsche has done 2 digit production runs has been country specific LE car that are just options & colour.

 

IMHO Front is a mess, why do they do this? Bug catcher, stereo speakers? Clean it up and agree it needs a tail.

 

120 allocated to the states. My dealer laughed when I called him to see if he can get me one... So I wouldn't expect to see to many of these in the wild. Straight to garage they will go!

 

They sure tried with the '88 Clubsport. Or at least the customer base did........

Remember when you'd walk in the door wanting to buy an S (rather, the buyers slightly before me, 40-45 years ago), and you'd be talked into a T because you'd be actually, you know, driving the car.

 

Completely disagree, looks much better without a fixed wing or raised spoiler. It is big, dare I say, bloated body though like all the other 991 models. Looks like center lock wheels, half cage and LWB seats.

The production run of these went straight to the 918 guys.

 

Read online or on Porche email all Rs are already committed to current 918 owners. I think it was super low production number as well, like 50ish as posted by another RLer.
Regarding the front end, its a 991 GT3 ish body at least front end section.
