Rapidly Appreciating Porsche 911 R To Be Put To The Test At Auction

Porsche’s new driver’s car up for grabs, at a price.

Some cars hit the market and immediately defy the laws of new cars; the Porsche 911 R is one of them. The usual deal when you buy a new car is that as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor you’ve lost a large chunk of money, but with the Porsche 911 R it appreciates in value, so owners actually make money after taking ownership. Porsche announced the pricing of the 2017 911 R with an MSRP of $184,900, but we’ve seen them up for sale for seemingly silly amounts, one going for the equivalent of $1.25 million.
