I wonder if you can option the rear mesh lid in chrome or something. The R had black trim and the mesh went with that but the 50th had chrome trim and the rear lid should have chromish accents.
I know really important

If (as they do sometimes) hark back to some historical significance, then may get lucky with the seats as well...45 years later.
Out of interest this example shows the chrome trim mixed with black accents in signal yellow. http://www.rmsothebys.com/mo17/monte...ouring/1703945

I'll wait for official press release.
PDK and backseats seem like the whole point of a "touring" pack. But perhaps it's all just about losing that wing.
Still looks great. Not a big fan of the brightwork around the windows, but that's a pretty small complaint.

How can the engine not be detuned, has less drag without a wing, yet has a lower top speed? Is this the only Porsche sports car with a speed limiter?

And I'll still take it to the track, perhaps to prove the engine isn't held in place by the wing.

+1 Perfect option for me, including the window frame brightwork! The 911R badge, magnesium roof and carbon fiber fenders and frunk doesn't add up to the R premium. What's not to like about saving $200k? No rear seats and no PDK? No care!

How much is the original R selling for now?

The 911R has less drag, don't see anything that would cause this to have more drag than R...
This car has a better engine than R (if not detuned) with higher redline and less internal friction (even if same 500hp rating). Why would it be slower than R with similar wing and Manual GT3 with large fixed wing?

^ Right, because you prefer the negligible weight savings of a few parts over a motorsport engine. And you're asking the wrong question: It's now how much the R is selling now, it's how much will the original, genuine, authentic "true" 911R be worth later? lol
I love the 911R, but sentimentality aside, I'll almost always prefer better technology.
