Porsche has unveiled the limited-edition 911 Sport Classic, a car that plunders the past of the iconic rear-engined sports car.

The Sport Classic, of which 250 will be built, gains a 'ducktail' spoiler made famous by the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 and ‘Fuchs-style’ custom-made alloy wheels from the same era.

Never actually saw that one coming - a retro version of the current 911. Not sure it actually sits too well for me, a little too clichéd.

The principle behind it (manual only, fixed spoiler, wide rear track etc) are a step in the right direction, but the questionable roof bubble styling and the Fuchs alloys are a little too "marketing department".

Interesting. A retro version of a retro car.

I love it! That´s how that thing should look like, always.

Limited edition? It looks exactly the same as all the others ;-)

God I'm bored of Porsche's. Any chance of something even slightly new or original, please?

I really like the looks of this car and in my opinion, the best looking 911 for an age.

 

But seriously, £171,500.....what did they use to upholster the interior, Unicorn hides??

Next year the all new 356.

Have you seen the retro spoiler! it's fabulous, and you have to admit it looks a bit better than the proposed GT3,i think it's just different enough, and afterall their not the first to try and pedal retro are they, Mazda's been doing it for years! 

From what I've read, it will cost more like £140K, which is just too much money for what is a Carrera S with powerkit, sports exhaust/suspension and body/interior addenda. It's a silly marketing ploy for the richest of Porsche enthusiasts who already own Carrera GTs etc. I would rather invest in the original 911 2.7RS for £120K-£130K, keep the change & watch it appreciate in value.

£140k for a 400BHP 911 ? And a pastiche one at that.

Hadn't previously noticed Porsche owners had "Mug" tattooed on their forehead.

I agree with Lee - Porsche designs are soooooo tired now. It's gone beyond a joke. The "new" Boxster is actually almost identical to all the other previous new Boxsters and they all look old-fashioned as well. Shame really because we all know they're brilliant to drive.

 

 

140k thats even more than a GT2 for a tickled and fettled Carrera S... Give me the new turbo or GT3
