Hmm...
I should probably give you some hints as for this week's car...
This will probably be too much of a hint.
It has a flat six pushing out 500 HP. It has a 6 speed manual transmission - one of the last they offered before moving to DCT automatic transmissions (flappy paddles). There are two "R"'s in the full name of the car.
The R's had me thinking Rolls Royce but that is too easy. So I am going to guess Porsche 911R GTR 3
I don't think any Rolls came with a flat head six.
It is indeed a Porsche 911, but it's just the R.
However, it's a very, very special example of the 911 R. I got it for a song, really. I'm sure I could unload it for quite a bit more than I spent on it. Which is why I've 'made money on paper' since starting to collect cars in earnest.

It was the wreck that got me to try a car with the 'dual clutch automatic manual transmission' and that was what propelled me into selling the beach house and taking my collection seriously.
So, some good came out of the wreck.
You never went to the beach house anyways.
I thought you said 3 R's
