all in all a part bin exercise, as predicted here. rather underwhelming. why would one choose this over the gt3 991.2 manual? except of course to make money on it

Totally agree. I would skip the R and go for any other 991 GTx. The R is flashy, is not lighter, only has two seats and no PDK. The 991.1 GT3 regular or RS is a much better option for the price and if the rumor is true the 991.2 GT3 is the one to get for manual diehards. The R is the first or last of nothing and totally a parts bin exercise (except for the shorter manual transmission? Yawn). Again, they should have chopped the roof and charge $30k more, that would be special.

As we all know, this is again Porsche marketing at its best.


allegedly AP favorite porsche of all times:::)))
