the author of the article did not drive the 911R, but instead reviewed the car from the passenger seat with the head of Porsche's GT program at the wheel.)

My husband, Terry McNamara, and I shipped the car to Tucson, AZ, in early May. We then flew there to pick it up and tour the Southwest and the Rockies for four weeks before driving home to New Jersey. You can't beat driving
through National Parks like Zion with the top down, and our tour provided some thrilling drives like Scenic Byway 12 in Utah. This picture was taken just before a sandstorm kicked up in Monument Valley.”
