Tour de France was re-established in 1969 after a 5-eyar hiatus, prototypes became eligible for competition thus the 911 R became eligible in which Gérard Larrousse achieved a win in this event in addition to the Tour de Corse with the same car that had the Type 916 engine.

At the 1970 Tour de France, with a pair of Matra 650s on the entry list, Larousse encouraged Porsche on to produce a lighter version by offering a case of champagne for each kg lost from it's 800 kg target, the result was 7 kg lost but regardless, he was unable to fend off the pair of 3-litre, V12 Matra prototypes by finishing behind them.[2]

At the end of it's competitive life, all 24 911 Rs was sold off to the public with only a few without any notable histories. Despite being sold in a small number, the 911 R proved to Porsche there is a market for stripped down, performance 911s as it later paved the way for the highly successful 911 Carrera RS 2.7.[2]

Revealed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show on March 1, the 911 R shares most of its underpinnings with the GT3 RS, but removes the roll cage, rear wing, and associated bodywork for a weight savings of 50 kg.  The R comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission, and has a top speed of 323 km/h (201 mph) due to a lower drag coefficient compared to the GT3 RS.  It also offers additional options for a lighter flywheel and removal of the air conditioning and audio systems.  Production will be limited to 991 examples, as a 2016 model.[9]
