1968 Porsche 911 R for Sale in Germany

This 1968 Porsche 911 R for sale in Germany is the original 911 R, the lightest 911 Porsche ever built, a factory lightweight with a racing engine made in a tiny series for a homologation that never came.

Finished in Orange, this used Porsche 911 R has covered 3,810 km. Its petrol engine produces 210 hp and is paired with a manual transmission. The coupé body of the R is the standard 911 shell with plastic panels, thin glass and every trace of trim removed, so that it looks like a road car and weighs like a prototype.

The 911 R is the root of every lightweight 911 that followed, from the ST and the Carrera RS to the modern R and GT3 Touring, and the surviving originals almost never come to market. It belongs with the most committed Porsche collectors, and a chassis with a Porsche Certificate, period racing history and long-term ownership is the definition of the type.

The dealer highlights One of only 24 produced 911 R, Porsche Certificate, From long-term ownership, Successful racing history, The lightest 911 of all time, Complete history and FIA Historic Technical Passport.

FAQ

This Porsche 911 R in the European market

Can this Porsche be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Pleidelsheim, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Porsche compare?

3,810 km recorded, against a median of 12,047 km across the Porsche advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Porsche 911 R, and how does a purchase work?

Mechatronik GmbH, a professional dealer in Pleidelsheim, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 911 R be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Pleidelsheim, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Porsche 911 R still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Mechatronik GmbH before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Porsche market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 911 R, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
