Is the Porsche 911 R a good investment?
991.1 Manual coupe (2016)
The thesis
Exactly 991 built with 500hp 4.0L flat-six and 6-speed manual, no wing, no cage—the purist's GT3. Prices crashed when GT3 Touring launched (same recipe, unlimited production), falling from £1.3M peak to £333k average now. Market has stabilized as of early 2026, collector examples £550-700k. The car's cultural significance (it birthed the Touring) and genuine rarity underpin medium-term appreciation, but the bubble scar means confidence is moderate. It's a great driver, recovering value, not a moonshot.
