PORSCHE BUILT the 1966 911 R to qualify for a

race series that required stock models. Though

it looked similar to standard 911s the R had a

mostly fiberglass shell and weight-saving

upgrades on everything from oil pans to door

handles. It was spare and brash and fast. In

homage to its predecessor the 2016 model

shaves weight with carbon-fiber fenders and a

magnesium roof. And should you really crave

the elemental experience you can opt for one

without air-conditioning or a radio.

Design

and

motorcycle substitute made for concen-

trated driving not traffic” says Andreas

Preuninger head of Porsche’s GT line. “A

true sports car in the old-school sense

should not be as fast as physically possible

but as fun as possible going fast. Modern

cars with that character are becoming rare.”
