保时捷产品总监August Achleitner进入透露，备受期待的911R将很快发布。他进一步表示，“你们会在日内瓦车展见到它。”他同时表示，911R产量有限，不过，对于产量为600辆的传言他拒绝予以证实。虽然保时捷不愿透露911R更多细节，但预计该车将基于911 GT3，作为一款高性能公路版车型将吸引那些纯粹的车迷。另外，未来最大限度降低车重，该车内装将尽量简化。911R将搭载取自GT3的3.8升自然进气水平对置六缸引擎或GT3 RS的4.0升自然进气引擎。无论搭载何种引擎，都只搭配六速手动变速器。根据先前的报道，该车售价将达到16万美元（约合人民币105万元），比911GT3高出了3万美元。

 

Porsche 911 R reportedly bound for Geneva

Porsche 911 Product Director August Achleitner has revealed the highly-anticipated 911 R will be unveiled shortly.

 

We asked about the upcoming model, Achleitner told Motoring “Come to Geneva and you’ll find out, but for now this is all I can talk about.” 

 

Despite this subtle hint, Achleitner conceded 911 R production will be severely limited. However, he refused to confirm rumors that the company is only planning to build 600 units and all of them have already been spoken for.

 

Porsche has been tight-lipped about the model but it is expected to be based on the 911 GT3 and be a high-performance road car that appeals to purists. Give its mission, the model will come sparely equipped in order to save as much weight as possible. 

 

The 911 R is also expected to use either the naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine from the GT3 or the naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter engine from the GT3 RS. Regardless of which engine is used, it will reportedly be connected exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.

 

Details will be announced in Geneva but previous reports have suggested the car will cost more than $160,000. If that number is correct, it will cost approximately $30,000 more than the 911 GT3.
