Although the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur could make this simple cosmetic stand out, the custom part of the company chose to make it something really special. Starting with the wide body of the 911 Turbo, the car is also equipped with the 3.7-liter flat-six engine commonly found in the Turbo and Turbo S. It delivers 542 horsepower, 30 less than cars with the Turbo brand, but 98 more from the Carrera S (and 40 more than the GT3), this is the most powerful 911 currently sold with a manual transmission. This stick will be the only option and the car will only move the rear wheels. An interesting visual adjustment, this car does not have the intakes on the rear wing of the Turbo models. Instead, the engine breathes through ducts at the bottom of the rear spoiler. Porsche has used a suspension based on the 911 Turbo and GTS models. Porsche Active Suspension Management is standard (along with a 10 mm reduced ride). Lacking front-wheel drive (and that extra weight), Porsche has softened the front springs. Porsche ceramic brakes are standard and the standard steering on the rear wheels has been modified to Sport Classic specifications. Sport Design cars will receive a new Sport Gray Metallic paint color the first time it is used. Solid black, Agate Gray and Genetian Blue, with double stripes in light gray will also be offered. The stripes are entirely hand-painted, including marking the design and sanding them with the rest of the panel. There are more graphics inspired by motor sports on the sides of the car and a lollipop and the door number are free options. It is called Heritage Design Package and includes a roof with a double canopy and a recessed profile on the hood (both are made of carbon fiber). The fixed spoiler is also made of carbon fiber and is meant to make you think of the ducktail spoiler in the RS 2.7 of 1972. The 20- and 21-inch wheels have wide spokes, varnish finish and a black look that is a nod to the classic Fuchs wheels that used in Porsche since 1967. Internally, the 911 Sport Classic has a pepita hut motif that was first selected on the 911 in 1965. The other part of the seats is semi-aniline leather, with the Sport Classic being the first to use it in this classic cognac color. White cash indicators and green digits are a callback to 356, and even digital displays have some legacy changes. The internal pepita and cognac will be available in another 911 later this year. Finally, the clock. From Porsche Design, the Chronograph 911 Sport Classic uses indicators and numbers based on the car indicators and will be finished in titanium or black. The Porsche Design logo will be finished in gold to match that of the car. The Swiss-made watch will be available for order from 12,500 euros at Porsche Centers. The cars will start at 272,714 euros (approximately C $ 370,000). The second of four Heritage Design models (the first was the 2020 911 Targa 42), orders are now open for 1,250 cars. European deliveries begin in July with other markets to follow. SHARE:
