In the latest news surrounding Porsche's pure 911, the 911 R, the word on the street suggests that it will make its first appearance at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show (GIMS). Color us interested.
Personally, while I've been enjoying the boys and girls from Stuttgart innovation, I have to say there's nothing better than strapping into one of the brand's stripped out models and blasting around to a six-cylinder soundtrack. To say I am excited by the reports of a "pure" 911 is, well, a no brainer.
Though we've brought you spy pictures of the much talked about Porsche, the latest shots really bring this vehicle into focus.
It seems that the speculation and rumormill is dead-on. The 911 R is expected to mimic the 911 GT3 but feature narrower tires, less aerodynamics and a manual gearbox. The test car seen here in the latest shots looks like a stripped down 991 GT3 with a carbon ceramic big brake kit.
It's also interesting to note that the test vehicle snapped in these pictures is equipped with a roll cage. Clearly, this is going to be one serious machine.
