The R Group
Founded in 1999 by Freeman Thomas and Cris Huergas, two die-hard Porsche 911 enthusiasts, the RGruppe became famous for its unconventional and highly individual interpretations of what a classic Luftgekühlt Porsche should look like. Slogans such as “The R Group is not an automobile club, but a brotherhood,” “It’s about the cars and the people… leave your ego behind,” and “We’re called the R Group; we don’t live by other people’s rules” capture the spirit of the group. By modifying their early Porsche 911s—inspired by role models like Steve McQueen, Porsche’s lightweight sports cars, and the California hot rod scene—the club forged its own path and today enjoys a particularly strong reputation worldwide.
