2016 Porsche 911 R with delivery miles up for auction

RM Sotheby’s is offering a chance to own a rare 2016 Porsche 911 R at their upcoming Miami auction.

The 911 R was one of the most hyped cars of the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. It’s said to be a no-frills and pure driver’s car and was only available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Powering the 911 R is the same engine as the 997-gen 911 GT3. This 4.0-liter flat-6 motor develops 500 hp, with drive going to the rear axle.

Porsche built only 991 units of the 911 R. This particular example has just 28 miles on its odometer. It is finished in white with red stripes over a black interior.

At launch, the 911 R cost just under $214,000. It is expected to fetch anywhere between $525,000-$600,000 at the upcoming Miami auction.
