The book “911 R” takes readers deep into the subject matter
We’ve written a review of this book. You can find out more about it here: >> Book Review 911R
The 911R is the forefather of all motorsport variants of the 911. The history of the 1967 R is closely linked to Huschke von Hanstein, Ferdinand Piech, and Vic Elford. Originally, the factory had no plans at all to use the 911 as its motorsports flagship. The book is divided into two parts: the 210 PS 911R from 1967 and the 500 PS model from 2016. The first part documents the development of the 911 R in the mid-1960s, the factory racing campaigns of the lightweight 911, the engines used at the time (including the Type 916 four-camshaft engine) as well as the world records the car set at Monza. The second part of the book focuses on the 2016 model-year 911 R, the background to its creation, the base models GT3 and GT3RS, and all equipment options. A special feature is the list of all 991 911Rs ever built, complete with information on color, wheels, interior, and country-specific equipment. The book “911R” is the perfect reference work for Porsche enthusiasts and collectors.

No expense was spared in the creation of this book, and elaborate 3D illustrations were produced that, through the use of transparent overlays, allow a glimpse beneath the “sheet metal” exterior—where “sheet metal” is used here to collectively refer to aluminum, carbon fiber, magnesium, and plastic. The book features the 911R with its leather houndstooth pattern and double-stitched seams. It is housed in a silver slipcase embossed with the car’s characteristic stripes. The German edition is adorned with green stripes, while the English edition features red ones.
