Porsche 911 R Limited Edition arrives in India

Porsche Centre Bengaluru welcomed a new model in the 911 range this week, with the arrival of the limited edition 911 R. The exclusive model, which was purchased by a Porsche collector in Bangalore, is the only one of the 991 units produced globally, delivered in India. However, Porsche India did not reveal the price for this limited edition 911 R.

Engine:

The 911 R features a 500 hp naturally aspirated engine and six-speed sports transmission. At work in the rear is a six-cylinder flat engine with a displacement of four liters, similar to the 911 GT3 RS. The racing engine generates 460 Nm at a speed of 6,250 rpm, capable of breaking through the 100 km/h barrier in 3.8 seconds and achieving a top speed of 323 km/h. Combined fuel consumption in the NEDC is 13.3 kmpl.

Design:
From the exterior, the 911 R bears greater resemblance to the 911 Carerra than any other model. Characteristic details such as the rear body, front and rear apron and nose bear similarities to the 911 GT3, hinting that it originates from the motorsport department in Flacht, Germany The body is comprised of lightweight components that originate from the 911 GT3, which can be altered for road use.

A retractable spoiler, familiar from the Carerra, and a rear underbody diffuser specific to R models provide the necessary downforce in place of the fixed rear wing. The center of gravity is altered in the 911 R as the bonnet and wings are made of carbon, alongside a roof made of magnesium. The rear windscreen and side windows are constructed from lightweight plastic, which enhances the vehicle's overall weight, resulting in the 911 R as the lightest model of the series, with only 1,370 kilograms.

Features:

Inside, the driver sits in a carbon bucket seat with fabric center panels in Pepita tartan design, a nod to the first 911 in the 1960's. A 360-millimeter "R-specific" GT steering wheel and R-specific short gearshift lever on the clutch panel enhance the active driving experience. Carbon trim strips in the interior with an embedded aluminum badge on the front passenger's side indicate the limited number of 911 R. A typical feature of GT vehicles are the pull straps as door openers.
