The price of 999,999 USD, equivalent to 23 billion VND, for a bright yellow Porsche 911 R in the US is 5.5 times higher than the factory price.

"Price gouging" is a term that car enthusiasts often use to refer to rare supercars like the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 or Pagani Huayra, but very few sports cars are labeled with the above phrase. |
 |
However, in recent months, the market for buying and selling supercars and sports cars has seen the Porsche 911 R emerge as a stylish "player" priced 2 to 6 times higher than the factory price, depending on the market. |
 |
Most recently, a Porsche 911 R was offered by a supercar dealer in the US for 999,999 USD, equivalent to 23 billion VND. Although this is not the highest selling price for a 911 R in this market, with a rare bright yellow coat, this sports car quickly shocked many car enthusiasts in the US as well as around the world. |

On the bright yellow exterior of the 911 R are two large black stripes running along the sides of the car or the 5-spoke wheels painted in matte black. |
 |
Inside the cockpit, this rare sports car has black "underwear" and accents such as fabric seats with alternating black and white wolf tooth patterns or yellow stitching on the steering wheel, dashboard, doors and seat backs. |
 |
Previously, used Porsche 911 R cars were still offered for sale at prices up to 6.49 million KR, equivalent to 770,000 USD, in Norway or in Woodland Hills, California, USA, for 699,000 USD, equivalent to 15.84 billion VND. |
 |
The record price for a Porsche 911 R in the US market is recorded at 1.25 million USD, equivalent to 28.3 billion VND, while in the UK it is 800,000 pounds, equivalent to 23 billion VND. Meanwhile, the factory price of the sports car in these two markets is 184,900 USD or 4.2 billion VND and 136,901 pounds, equivalent to 4.03 billion VND, respectively. |
 |
The reason why Porsche 911 R cars are being "priced up" at supercar dealers around the world is because when they were launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, all 991 911 R cars were "sold out". In addition, Porsche 911 R only has a manual transmission, which is very suitable for those who are really passionate about driving. |
