In keeping with its back to basics nature, the 2016 Porsche 911 R is powered by a naturally aspirated flat six producing 500 horsepower and driving the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Similar to the engine found in the 911 GT3 RS, the 3.8-liter boxer engine produces 338 lb ft of torque and enables the R model to accelerate to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds on the way to a top speed of 200 mph.
