For many, the 911R is a myth. 20 examples made. Or was it 24? The few original examples are in museums or hidden away in private collections. This edition of Luftgekühlt will have in attendance one of the rarest of the rare, one of the four original prototypes, internally known as R4, courtesy of canepamotorsport
Of the four prototypes, R4 is the only one to have survived virtually intact as originally constructed. Chassis R1 was heavily raced and modified to the point of being unrecognizable, R2 was in a road accident, disassembled and has been in storage since 1980. R3 was raced, sold, crashed and later rebuilt. The body panels of R4 are original and have not had any modifications, a rarity among most 911R’s.
