I don't get the appeal of the mismatch in color. Is it historical or something? You'd never do something like that on any other car, so why on a 911 R is it so great?
I think some old 911 race cars from the 60's had this color scheme for Heuer (unless I only dreamed it)
To me the R looks way too bland . I have seen now quite a few times two drive around my area . On in GT Silver and one in Gulf blue ( same owner ) . The Gt silver could be a GTS , hardly any difference ...... and a GTS only looks like a GTS to us , for anyone else it looks like a Carrera . The Gulf blue looks already better on the roads, but just because of the color . When I saw it first in the dealers parking garage it did not look good . But on the road it is different .
As a special model, the R needs a bit of funkiness . The Heuer does bring that .
And if the whole purpose is to blend in and have a 911 that looks like any Carrera , then I rather have a non limited , collectible , undrivable because of value , wingless GT3 or GT4
