How much would you be willing to pay for the ultimate 911? Well, if it’s more than the average Sydney home, you’re in luck.

Demand for Porsche’s new 911 R is so high British finance experts Magnitude Finance predict the car will stir record levels of appreciation in the second-hand market, telling Motoring Research it knows retailers that plan to list the car for close to one million pounds.

Converted to Aussie peso, that’s almost $1.7m, or four times more than its standard asking price of $404K. It means one could trade hands for what would grab a three-bedder in Bondi. And it comes down to the manufacturer’s ‘best-hits’ approach to the 911 R’s specification.

Then to cap-off its last 991-gen variant’s specialty, the drivetrain was slotted in a GT3 bodyshell, covered in RS body panels, and fitted with a light-weight interior (built around the 918 Spyder’s carbon buckets) to make it the lightest 911 at 1370kg.

However, the 911 R’s case isn’t isolated. There’s been a feverish grab for unique 911s worldwide and locally, seeing examples like a 997.2 GT2 RS asking up to $950K in Queensland.
