An uproar ensued throughout the Porsche driving community, saying that by removing the manual option they were removing one of the best and engaging parts about driving a Porsche. To quell the flame that was building, Porsche announced a car to celebrate an anniversary of 50 years and fight fire with fire: the 2016 Porsche 911R. Limited to 296 units in the U.S., 991 worldwide, the new Porsche 911R was created to honor the anniversary of what started it all: the 1967 Porsche 911R. Drawing inspiration from a model built 50 years prior, these new 911s carry many of the same principles and design characteristics that made the original Rs so formidable. High power, low weight, razor sharp handling, all tightly wound into one cohesive package. Available first to Porsche 918 owners, the 911Rs sold out and would become a lust-worthy 911 edition that is highly prized to true enthusiasts. This Porsche 911R was ordered new and delivered to Isringhausen Imports in Springfield, Illinois and serviced on October 12th, 2016.

With the announcement that Porsche wouldnt be building a 911 GT3 or GT3 RS with a manual transmission any longer, the 911R was heralded as the last and final 911 with a manual transmission. Paired with absolutely flawless driving characteristics, a compliant ride for long distances, and extremely fun overall, the 911R was the modern 911 to own. The most recent owner of this 911R was not a Porsche 918 owner, but wanted a 911R with a passion. In 1998 he purchased his first Porsche, a Carrera S in Speed Yellow from Isringhausen Imports, flying all the way to Springfield, IL to pick it up and drive it back to Southern California. Later in 2016 he still knew the son of the owner of Isringhausen Imports, and asked if he knew how he could acquire one. The son said that he would look into it, but made no guarantees. 6 months later the son got back to the to-be 911R owner, and found someone with a Pors
