Summary
Porsche’s new 911 GT4 R brings the 911 nameplate into GT4 racing for the first time, replacing Cayman- and 718-based entries after the smaller combustion sports car line faded.
A 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six shared with the current 911 Cup produces 512 hp, though the car is delivered with an air restrictor that cuts output to a more typical GT4-class 424 hp.
The GT4 R also swaps the Cup car’s center-lock wheels for narrower five-lug wheels and uses a lower, subtler adjustable rear wing to meet GT4-specific regulations.
Priced at $375,500 in the U.S. including import and delivery, the customer racer is expected to compete in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, GT4 America and other global series.
