Earn your stripes of envy...

All 991 build slots for the Porsche 911 R, the most in-demand sports car of the year, have long been accounted for. Boasting a manual short-throw gearbox, an ultra-spartan interior and a 4-litre flat-six that revs to 8,500rpm, it’s one of the purest driving machines in production. With most not even in build yet, only a few have been put to the test by their new owners – but Classic Driver dealer Auto Reitmeier Gmbh is offering the chance to leapfrog the fortunate few by offering a delivery-mileage example for sale. Obviously, you’ll have to pay a premium – it’s listed for 459,000 euros before tax – but with that comes an odometer showing just 36km, and a number of optional extras including the Sport Chrono package. Oh, and doses of envy and kudos in generous amounts…
