Porsche launched a new hardcore and pure 911 R for all the Porsche enthusiasts who had issues with the GT3 Porsche. The new 911 R was put up on display at the ongoing 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Only 991 units of the car will be made, and amazingly, all of the cars had been sold even before Porsche showcased it at the show.
The recipe for the new car by German automaker was simple, make it simple and make it fast. The car still has its 4-liter turbocharged flat-6 engine producing 493 hp and 460Nm of torque. But instead of some fancy double clutch automatic gearbox, you get a simple bare bone 6-speed manual transmission. The car has the top speed of 200 mph.
