Autoblog...


Porsche has been building limited-edition 911s almost as long as it has been building the rear-engined wundercar, and the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show will see the launch of yet another. The new 911 Sport Classic you see before you has been tweaked by Stuttgart's Porsche Exclusive in-house customizing department, and suddenly our upcoming trip to Germany looks a lot brighter.

Fortunately for enthusiasts, when Porsche says special, they mean it – this far more than just a tape and body kit job. Changes to the Sport Classic Grey model start at the nose with a revised fascia and take off from there. Up top, the roof panel receives a double-bubble treatment: a pair of domes above the driver and passenger with a channel down the middle. At the rear, the ducktail spoiler from the legendary the Carrera RS 2.7 makes its first appearance on a modern 911 and is flanked by even wider rear fenders to enclose the SC's extended track.

Porsche has seen fit to include some mechanical goodness as well. Under that charismatic ducktail, a new intake manifold with flaps that control the runner lengths adds 23 horsepower to the normally aspirated flat-six, bringing the headcount to 403. Carbon ceramic brakes are enclosed in special Fuchs-style 19-inch wheels designed that evoke the last 911SC of the late Seventies and early Eighties, and the whole package lurks closer to the ground thanks to the inclusion of PASM sport suspension.

The interior hasn't been ignored either, with various bits being finished in Espresso Nature natural leather and the use of new materials to the marque, including woven leather/yarn seat panels.

Of course, also following firmly in company tradition is the Sport Classic's premium price. Just 250 examples will be built and we don't imagine Porsche will have any trouble clearing its decks – even though it is priced at a tidy €169,300 ($240,702 USD) – before any applicable value added taxes. It may be extraordinarily dear, but we still want one in the worst way. It isn't immediately clear if the 911 SC will be made available in the U.S., but either way, Porsche is seemingly aware that we don't have that many spare samoleans rolling around in our bank accounts. As such, Porsche Design Driver's Selection has thoughtfully developed a line of accessories inspired by the new SC, including a polo shirt, cap, a 1:43 scale diecast, and – wait for it – a personalized lanyard. Perhaps we can afford one of those.

This appears to be the only Porsche that I like since 1993. Good job, Germans. Later, QD.

[EJ25RUN]

As much as i adore the 911 in general and the idea of this one, i cant wrap my head around why A. Porsche is charging $240,000 for it and B. Why only 250?

Wouldn't it make better sense to take a 911 GT3 RS approach to this? Btw...the 911 GT3 RS Gen II is $132,800.

I don't see why this special costs so much more. I realize some body and engine mods have been made but i feel this car should be in the $150,000 neighborhood at the maximum.

Still though.....Modern Fuchs and Duck tails are such a good idea.

[BKgen®]

Absolutely perfect.

[DieselNuts]

I love it from the back. Other angles, not too sure.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw it. From the back, it looks almost 70s 911 style. Later, QD.

[oneSLOWex]

I LIKE!....except the interior....never been a fan of brown...not saying I wouldnt take one though lol

[zombieslider]

thats what i was thinking and those were so sexy

[Drummerboy]

250k honda? (duckbill and spoon lip)
I keed.

It's pretty, but if I had the money, this wouldn't be my first pick.

Yesir. Its the spoiler that does it for sure. Kind of a retro style spoiler. I'm sure that's what they were aiming for seeing as how its a "classic"

[1439/2000]

I had a set of fuchs and a ducktail ready to go on my75. That translates well on to the new ones as well. Too bad it is water cooled.

[SampaGuy]

I love it but damn that price/quantity was definitely not the way to go...

[Glides]

YES!!!!! The return of the Ducktail. The worst mistake I made was getting rid of my Ducktail on my 66 911.

[S2KJD]

i like :boobies:

tuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has refined the DNA of the 911 to what must be the most supreme standard of class and style in the 911 Sport Classic available to a strictly limited number of very special 911 enthusiasts. Creating this unique model, Porsche is bringing back the tradition of exclusive small series built in very small numbers. The 911 Sport Classic will be presented at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and is limited in production to just 250 cars.

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. Porsche Exclusive is Porsche’s Specialist Department for the most outstanding customised versions of Porsche cars going beyond even the highest standard of the Company’s regular production models.

The unique character of this very special 911 comes out at very first sight in the newly developed double-dome roof. A further highlight of this sports car based on the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S is the wider rear body up by 44 millimetres or 1.73″ and the wider track on the rear axle. The striking SportDesign front apron with its unique spoiler lip and the rear spoiler fixed in position like the legendary ducktail on the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 round off the unmistakable look of the 911 Sport Classic. Power comes from Porsche’s 3.8-litre with Direct Fuel Injection, increased in this case, also through the introduction of a newly developed resonance intake manifold with six vacuum-controlled switching flaps, by 23 bhp to 408 horsepower for even more outstanding performance.

The 911 Sport Classic comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox. PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes ideally reflecting the sporting character of this exclusive 911, PASM sports suspension lowering the entire car by 20 mm or 0.79″, as well as the mechanical rear axle differential and custom-made 19-inch wheels with their rim star painted black all come together to offer a perfect match for the character of this most exclusive car.

The very special, highly sophisticated interior of the 911 Sport Classic bears powerful testimony to one of the core competences of Porsche Exclusive and is characterised by new materials never used before even by Porsche. One example is woven leather made up of smooth leather strips and woven yarn featured on the seat centrepieces of the newly designed adaptive sports seats complete with light-grey piping and on the door panels.

The dashboard including a wide range of inserts and add-on components is finished in Espresso Nature natural leather, providing a distinctive contrast to the exclusive body paint in Sport Classic Grey.

Marking the introduction of this special limited edition model, Porsche Design Driver´s Selection is likewise introducing a range of new and very special products at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The limited edition AluFrame Trolley as well as a polo-shirt, a cap and a personalised lanyard take up the colour concept of the 911 Sport Classic, and in good time for the introduction of the new car a top-quality 1:43 model will also be available.

Sales of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic are starting in January 2010. The Euro base price of the car without value-added tax and national specifications is Euro 169,300.-.

Reading owns me...didn't take the time to read the article. $240,000 is an outrageous price for a car like this. I wish they'd at least offer the cosmetic treatments as a "Sport Classic Appearance Package." That would probably not include the engine treatment though, which is perfect for me...a naturally aspirated engine with 400+ horsepower.

I like everything about this Porsche, but they've really made it inaccessible. Don't know why they can't make more. EJ has the right idea...take the GT3 RS approach.

I'm pretty sure Seinfeld would've been on the waiting list though had they sold it here. I know he's a huge Porsche nut.

[81911SC]

It won't surprise me if he gets one. Lol

[VooDooXII]

Pretty sure you, if not EJ can answer this. Where does the "911" name come from? Was that just the first chassis code (911, 964, 993, 996 etc.)?

[umairejaz]

Wheels do not look good.

[VooDooXII]

I like them because they did an excellent job for a modern interpretation of these.

In 1963, Porsche decided that all models afterwerd would be 9##. The first car from this was to be 901. Because of Peugeot, French law said that any car sold in France with #0# had to be a Peugeot. For example, 205, 306, 407.

Porsche didn't want the hassle of dealing with law suits so they moved 901 to 911.

This is from my head and not from wiki or anything else.

I figured...you're smart and I couldn't find it on Wikipedia anyway. :D

I've read the story about Peugeot before. Didn't realize it was as simple as that...and the Porsche 907 sort of had me confused in that regard. I guess the naming controversy didn't arise because that was a race car?

904, 906, 907, 908, 909 were all considered prototypes. Only the 917 project found a loophole in the rules and was meant to classify a car as a production sportscar.

Really though, i doubt the Peugeot cared about the names of race cars. In 1963, the 911 was only a street car.

[Frög]

This would be my next.. I wanted the c2s since I don't like the 4's and love N/A RWD.. 408 hp would keep me entertained for quite sometime.. Who would need more hp? Not me..

Edit: holy shit price.. Nvm, ill go with my c2s and put an intake, exhaust, & chip..
