Porsche has revealed its 992-generation 911 Sport Classic, a limited edition based on the Turbo, but with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission -
But where power and torque has been reined in – for better or worse – the bespoke detailing of the Sport Classic really is extensive. Those stripes are hand painted onto the body, and their perfect alignment with the indentations on the bonnet and roof panel are not by accident, but by design with Porsche Exclusive creating bespoke carbonfibre versions of both to suit. The 20- and 21-inch centre-lock wheels look familiar, but are also unique, so too is the fixed duck-tail rear spoiler.
The rest of the chassis is derived from the Turbo S featuring PASM adaptive dampers, Porsche’s PDCC chassis stabilisation system and rear-wheel steering, with each of those components thoroughly recalibrated for the Sport Classic’s more on-road focus. With two less driveshafts to carry, the 1570kg SC is also 70kg lighter than the basic Turbo S.
Porsche has not revealed any performance times so far, but given its technical makeup it’s not really designed to hit the sort of otherworldly numbers capable from its Turbo siblings.
Porsche will build a total of 1250 units from June this year costing from £209,540 in the UK. Next up are two more variants that Porsche referencing the 1970s and 1980s – one of which is almost certain to be the incoming high-ridingreboot that’s been spotted spending time lapping on the ‘Ring. Times are good for Porsche clearly, and while the 911 continues to be a hot commodity for the German superpower, they’ll keep building them with a healthy profit generated from each.
