Porsche 911R 200mph Run – Video

 

The Porsche 911 R has 493bhp from a 4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine.

Porsche claim a top speed of 201mph. EVO decided to find out if that claim was true.

2016 edition marries the lightest 911 body to the most potent non-turbo engine in inventory. Built on the outgoing 991.1 series instead of Porsche’s new-for-2017 991.2, the R is said to weigh just 3020 pounds and is armed with the 500-hp 4.0-liter flat-six from the GT3 RS. With 338 lb-ft of torque at a lofty 6250 rpm and power peaking at 8250 rpm, this is the leadfoot’s 911 with revs to burn.
