Described as a kind of reminiscence of the past, the 2016 Porsche 911 R was a breath of fresh air in a convulsive sector. It is no wonder that the 991 units were sold in no time.
In any case, if one is looking to get a 2016 Porsche 911 R, one should know that soon they will have the opportunity to bid for a special unit. The guys at RM Sotheby's are finalizing the details of a new auction to be held next Feb. 8, 2017, in the French capital, Paris. They will auction a large batch of authentic jewels on wheels, one of which is this Porsche 911 R, according to TopSpeed.
In addition to everything mentioned above, it has a touch of exclusivity as it is a "one-off" tribute to Steve McQueen. It has numerous details customized by Porsche Exclusive. It has the unit number 967, and 911 R is the only paint PTS delivered in France, according to CarandDriver.
And speaking of the engine, what did mechanics use in this 2016 Porsche 911 R? In it lies a naturally aspirated engine six-cylinder boxer with 500 hp and 460 Nm of torque associated with a manual gearbox six speed. Thanks to these mechanics, it is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 323 km/h.
