Porsche Centre Bengaluru welcomed a new model in the 911 range this week, with the arrival of the limited edition 911 R. The exclusive model, which was purchased by a Porsche collector in Bangalore, is the only one of the 991 units produced globally, and this one was delivered in India. A thoroughbred driving machine that utilises technology from the race track, the 911 R features a 500bhp naturally aspirated engine and six-speed sports transmission. At work in the rear is a six-cylinder flat engine with a displacement of four litres, similar to the 911 GT3 RS.
The racing engine generates 460Nm at a speed of 6,250 rpm, capable of breaking through the 100 kmph barrier in 3.8 seconds and achieving a top speed of 323 kmph. Commenting on the arrival, Porsche India’s Director, Pavan Shetty stated, “The 911 R epitomises the Porsche brand, with the clear design DNA of a classic 911 while performing as a racing car should. The 911 has set the standard for generations after the ground-breaking model was first introduced in the 1960’s. The 911 continues to evolve to new highs and is considered the quintessential sports car – the benchmark for all others. We are thrilled to be introducing the 911 R, a direct descendant from this famed model line, to a valuable, returning customer, who is fortunate enough to have the exclusive ownership of the only 911 R in India.”
