Crazy Porsche 911 R Premiums Are Evaporating, 30-Mile Example Is Up For $330-370k

The hype surrounding the Porsche 911 R has started to fade more than two years after it initially touched down in Geneva.

That doesn’t make the sports car any less exciting, but it does make it more affordable. How much more? That would be $325,000-$375,000 (equal to €285,221-€329,101) for the example pictured here, as per RMSothebys’ estimates.

Okay, that’s not exactly lunch money, but it’s considerably less than the $600k commandeered by the R just a few months ago.

Moreover, it is practically new, as it as only 30 miles (48 km) on the clock. It was delivered in 2016 to a Porsche dealer in California, which remains its sole owner to this day, and it’s one the 296 units destined for the US market, bearing #748 out of the total 991 Rs built.

Everywhere you look, this 911 R looks like it just left the factory floor. It sports a black exterior adorned with green stripes over a black interior with grey details and is equipped with a few optional extras. The auction house talks about the Sport Chrono package, black LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System, Bose premium sound system and PCM with navigation, all of which raised the MSRP to over $216,000.

To bid for this gorgeous 911 R you’ll need to take a trip to Monterey, California, next weekend, as the car will hit the auction block on August 24.

The 9qq R is capable of hitting the 62mph mark in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 201mph (323km/h), courtesy of its 500PS (493hp) naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine and six-speed manual transmission.
