You Can Now Get a Porsche 911 R 3D Puzzle

The Porsche 911 R is easily one of the most desirable modern-day 911s.

For a while, the limited-run 911 variant was the only way to get yourself into a manual 911 with the 911 GT3’s delicious 4.0-liter flat-six. This, along with its very limited availability, ensured 911 R values immediately skyrocketed upward shortly after it went on sale – making it unlikely that you’ll ever find one for sale at a reasonable price.

If you count yourself among those who love the 911 R but will never be able to afford one, we have good news. Porsche has teamed up with German toy manufacturer Ravensburger to put a 911 R 3D puzzle on sale. The 3D puzzle, which contains 108 pieces, is a highly accurate recreation of the 911 R. It’s the result of a meticulous design and development process by engineers at Ravensburger, who developed two prototypes for the puzzle before finalizing the design.

“It was a challenge to recreate the iconic shape of the Porsche 911 R as accurately and in as much detail as possible”, said Ravensburger development engineer Martin Fischer “That and dividing up the puzzle segments were the most complex steps from a technical point of view.”

The 911 R 3D puzzle is the first product of many that will come from Porsche’s partnership with Ravensburger. In a statement, the automaker said the 911 R “is just the starting point for an extensive collaboration between Porsche and Ravensburger in the coming years,” adding that the two companies “share a similar ethos in terms of their dedication to their products, their skilful engineering and their exceptionally high quality standards.”

The Ravensburger 911 R 3D Puzzle will soon be available to purchase from Porsche’s online store.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Event Report: Southern Worthersee 2015

There’s been much ado about this year’s SoWo since this past Saturday night, when Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media channels exploded with images and commentary focusing on the event’s bad eggs.  But first, let’s chat a bit about the event itself. Our journey started early Thursday morning as part of the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to the event.  What should have taken about 12-13 hours ended up taking much more, as we stopped to help any Volkswagen that needed our assistance.  And while the extended commute time wasn’t ideal, it proved to highlight the ‘no person left behind’ spirit of the Volkswagen community- arguably one of the scene’s best qualities. On Friday and Saturday, the town was flooded with enthusiasts, making this year’s event without a doubt the largest yet.  Attendees came from as far as California, Mexico City, and event a few straight from the original Wörthersee in Austria, and for most it was well worth the trip.  The quality o...
