We love to keep an eye on what happens in the 2017 Porsche 911 R realm and the latest piece of news from the three-pedal kingdon is a concerning one - YouTuber Shmee150 reports that an example of the Neunelfer special was stolen over the weekend.
Curiously, the YouTuber, who turned to his Facebook page to make the announcement, doesn't post any real world images of the car while trying to seek online help - we've asked for such photos and will return with an answer, if provided.
Instead, Shmee offers the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the 911 R - don't bother worrying about the number plates, since those are probably long gone by now.
"A friend's Porsche 911R was stolen in Munich between the 10th and 11th of December 2016. The FIN [perhaps a typo, as FIN stands for Fleet Identification Number] of this car is: WP0ZZZ99ZGS194599," the Facebook post reads.
We are told that the rear-engined coupe in question is dressed in GT Silver, coming with Black and Green stripes - the attached images, which seem to come from the Porsche configurator, do offer a pretty accurate view of the vehicle, though.
"The specs are GT Silver with black/green stripes. Please spread this and help us to find the car back. Many thanks in advance," the post goes on.
With Zuffenhausen only building 991 units of the new-age 911 R, we don't expect the machine to show up for sale anytime soon. Instead, if the story is accurate, we could be dealing with a "special order" that will see the Porsche showing up in a country outside the European Union, or even on another continent, where it can be extremely difficult to track.
After all, the financial motivation for the thieves could've easily been present, given the kind of prices the 911 R trades hands for on the speculation market.
