Every now and then the Porsche Exclusive division releases a very limited release Porsche into the market. With limited numbers and a hefty price tag the new Porsche 911 Sport Classic is the new jaw dropping example to be swept from the showroom floor to be hidden away in dark garages most likely never to see the light of day let alone a track. Oh yeah let the Porsche 911 fanboys start to droll. I know I am.
Hopefully I win the lottery right now so that I can pony up the close to $250k price tag for one of the only 250 examples of this rare 911 specimen. Porsche Exclusive just didn't do a paint job and add some bolt-ons to a regular 911 C2.
No, in fact the Sport Classic is a showcase of innovations (which may or may not find their way to other production cars) including a new duel bubble-top roofline, a new front lip, a wider rear track (she's got some lovely hips on her yes she does) and, something that just grabbed a hold of me the first time I saw it, the return of the ducktail from the old Porsche 911 RS 2.7. I guess there are also some fuchs inspired rims which honestly I could just as soon pass on. It also only comes in one color in and out. All 250 cars will come with a new color called Sport Classic Grey (it looks like primer grey to me) and the interior will only come in a dark brown color called espresso. The Ducktail and the Fuchs inspired rims give it the classic name and to make up the Sport part of the name Porsche was able to squeeze another 20 some horses out of the engine to give the 3.8L NA engine an output of 403hp.
While I like lusting after this mighty 911 example I have to be a bit pissed off. Lets face it It's an awesome looking 911 for a non Turbo or GT car but it simply sucks that it's limited to 250 examples that many will never see the light of day (959 history repeating itself) as collectors will scoop them up and hide them away in private collections never to see the light of day let alone a track. But we can all dream and hope. I hope some one busts out a 1:18th diecast version and that the tuner market will respond or Porsche itself with a Ducktail option. That and maybe beefier hips on the regular cars would be nice as well. Oh and lets not forget the awesome domed roofline. I'm sure that would be nice for taller drivers with helmets.
We also have this amazing video to drool over as we dream of owning one.
