20 Car Comebacks Auto Fans Waited For

  1. Porsche 911 R

Another dream car is the 2017 Porsche 911 R. The original 911 R was a late ‘60s racing special with a lightweight body and powerful engine. However, for almost 50 years, Porsche seemed to forget about this model. But, then the modern 911 R appeared with the same signature features in modern form. The new 911 R has a lightweight body but lacks any luxuries.

They gave it cloth seats and a fantastic naturally aspirated engine delivering 493 HP. Also, it has a perfect six-speed manual transmission. Basically, this is a blend of modern technology with an old-school driving feel, but with one flaw. Porsche built only 991 of them, so they all sold out quickly. That means if you want one today, be ready to pay a cool million dollars.
