911 Sport Classic

2022–2023Coupé

The second of Porsche's four Heritage Design collector's cars, revealed on 28 April 2022. It takes the wide Turbo body and removes everything that made the Turbo difficult to love: all-wheel drive, the deployable spoiler, PDK and the 580 PS tune. What is left is a rear-wheel-drive 992 with a seven-speed manual, a fixed ducktail rear spoiler and ducts in its own spoiler skin instead of fender intakes, a CFRP bonnet, and a 3,745 cm³ twin-turbo detuned to 405 kW (550 PS; 542 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) because the manual could not take the Turbo's 750 Nm. Spring rates at the front were softened for the missing driven axle. At 1,250 units it remains the most powerful manual 911 in production.
