New Porsche 911 GT3 R is too sexy to ignore

At £279,000 this ain't cheap, but it's too sexy to ignore. The motor in question is the Porsche 911 GT3 R. It's a race-only version of the new GT3 and weighs only 1,200kg.

The engine is a 4.0-litre version of the usual 3.8-litre 911 flat-six and has 480bhp and that's without a turbocharger.

There's a sequential manual gearbox and that massive rear wing. So if you're an ambitious amateur racing driver with deep pockets this is the motor for you.
