The 997 Sport Classic is a limited edition version of the 997.2 Carrera S coupé inspired by the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. The 911 Sport Classic is based on the standard-production 997.2 Porsche 911 Carrera S. However, there are several significant differences. Compared to the often brightly-colored Carrera S, all copies of the limited-production Sport Classic wear the identical drab gray paint (appropriately named “Sport Classic Grey”) with very discreet twin racing stripes running up and over the length of the bodyshell.
The engine is rated at 413 PS (304 kW; 407 hp) and features a newly developed resonance intake manifold with 6 vacuum-controlled switching flaps. It includes a 6-speed manual transmission, double-dome roof (informally called double bubble roof), 44 mm (1.7 in) wider rear fenders, SportDesign front apron with a front spoiler and a fixed ‘duck tail’ rear wing. Only 256 were made.
This very special 911 from Porsche Exclusive has been developed over a project period of about three years, with lots of love for detail, catering especially for the most demanding group of genuine aficionados.
