Yes. But someone else already pointed out this error in mirroring other web sites. We know what they meant and they will fix it. 500HP of naturally aspirated flat six zuffenhausen symphony. It rocks!
Calling this car a 911R is like calling the new Boxster a 718 or the previous special edition an RS Spyder. Porsche is pulling historically significant names from it's a$$ and building cars that have little (or nothing) in common with their predecessors. Am I grateful for the increase in sports-purpose Porsche factory cars? Yes. Am I more than a little embarrassed by the nomenclature that seeks to cash in on the past? Definitely.
Preaching to the choir. The original 911R was an ultra-light twin-plug wheelie-pulling screamer. Since then though we've become so pussified we not only bend over and take it from the regulators, we actually pat ourselves on the back and compete to see who can be the biggest *****. Of course its an impressive car. But minimalist? As if.
Still, its hard to watch and listen and not get excited.
