The Porsche 911 R is the kind of car that can easily keep the Internet on its toes without also showing up in the real world. Nevertheless, seeing the clutch-gifted Neunelfer in the metal wouldn't be too bad, which is why we're bringing you the pic above.
The 911 R you see here was spotted in a parking lot by fellow enthusiast Boosted Boris. Given the image's location tag on the man's Facebook page, this stick shift weapon was found close to the Nurburgring.
Judging by the number plates of the rear-engined coupe, which come from the Baden-Württemberg region, we are, most likely, dealing with a factory car.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the second time such a Zuffenhausen unicorn shows up in the wild. As a coincidence, both spotted examples came in Silver with Green stripes, but the one we showed you back in April had Black wheels, while using the same colors for a set of side decals.
The plates are also different, while the funky white shades of the latter car's driver are nowhere in sight.
Alas, most Porsche aficionados will have to stick to admiring other people's 911 Rs, since the German automaker is only building 991 examples of the creature.
It's difficult to steer clear of bitterness when reminding you the R was already sold out when it made its debut back in March, at the Geneva Motor Show.
Fortunately, though, this isn't the only 911 special that returns to the manual religion. For one thing, the upcoming GT3 will also offer a third pedal as an option and the 911 R's six-speed setup is the expected hardware.
The 991.2 GT3 is currently approaching the end of its development cycle and we should see the boxer-engined athlete by the end of the current year. Since this derivative is already missing from the 911 line-up on the Porsche website, you'd better call your financial adviser soon.
