brandnew pic... 10 minutes old, a friend of mine is in zuffenhausen to pic up his new Boxster spyder, and what is standing at the entrance ...? a wellknown car ( LB-A 4023 ).. many reports in the actual magazines over this special 991R. so I want to share the pic with u guys !!
Well, I'm pretty sure that the official final clip from the Porsche Driving Challenge comes out tomorrow.
Until then, I got sent some cell phone footage which I edited together into an unofficial preview of the finish of this thing. I hope you like it, but I can't imagine you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

That looked amazing fun Jack! Out of interest did that car have AC and Front Lift or was it a Pure R Spec?
Both of the 911Rs I've driven have had the radio and AC -- so I haven't driven a true flyweight version. The first one had the single-mass flywheel. I'm not sure if the second one did or didn't. The second one had the front lift, which came in handy in the mountains for turn-arounds. The first one didn't. Both had electric motors in the seats, which I'd try to chuck if I owned it (what, I'm going to let someone else drive my car? ). Both cars were '000' cars, which I think means they get taken apart as soon as they've served their purpose -- which is a shame.

I'm really surprised by what I read of peoples provisional specs for the R with the majority including AC, Lift, PCM, Full leather and Bose... I wonder is the normal man in the street with modern chassis will notice the additional 30kg? I think the stripped out specs for an R will be a very rare thing which is a shame in my view...
Do you think they are still developing the R as I find it extremely strange how not one Journalist has yet to deive one but to only be party to a passenger ride?
