With Porsche only bringing 991 examples of the 2017 911 R to the world, we can imagine the efforts the carmaker's Exclusive arm has to assist customers with choosing the best color spec for their machines. And the example we have here is one that stands out among all the 911 Rs we've shown you so far.
The rear-engined coupe, which comes with French plates (we'll tip our lens to Autogespot for the images), takes great pride in the Yellow hue covering its carbon-ceramic brake calipers - the color is also used for the "PORSCHE" decals on the doors.

As for the rest of the vehicle, the dark shade mix only adds to the understated aura of the 500-pony 911 incarnation we have here. We could easily see an untrained eye mistaking this clutch special for your "average" 911, which can be amusing when you consider the kind of prices these cars can trade hands for these days - here's the most recent speculation market example we talked about.

Luckily, we also get to see 911 R owners who paid the right price for the cars (these were offered to customers of the 918 Spyder) taking delivery of their vehicles this season, with the most recent example coming from YouTuber Salomondrin, who fortunately has no issue with putting miles on his Porsche 911 R.

We have to admit it's been a while since we last used the supercar spec game you can find below and we're glad a 911 R owner gave us this opportunity. Speaking of which, we're pretty sure the driver of this Zuffenhausen animal receives his fair share of appreciation for the hue mix he's chosen.

The stripes on the car obviously remain as polarizing as ever, which means certain aficionados won't agree with the man. Nevertheless, when you're swapping cogs in one of these, such opinions are probably amusing...
