Chassis No. WP0AG2A92PS252355 First introduced in 2010, the 997-generation Porsche 911 Sport Classic was an Exclusive Manufaktur-built limited-edition that featured a 402-horsepower flat-six and design cues inspired by the legendary 1973 Carrera RS. With its manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and distinctive "ducktail" spoiler, the Sport Classic seamlessly combined retro styling with advanced 21st century features. Praised for its exceptional driving experience, the car was an instant favorite among enthusiasts and collectors, with its desirability heightened by a production run of just 250 units. After a 12-year hiatus, Porsche reintroduced the 911 Sport Classic in April 2022 as part of their vaunted Heritage Design series. Built on the 992 platform, the second-generation model refined the original concept, using the 911 Turbo as its foundation. It retained the Turbo’s 3.7-liter twin-turbocharged engine paired with a seven-speed manual transmission and was offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive. To protect the drivetrain, peak power and torque were slightly reduced to 542 horsepower and 443 lb-ft respectively. Eliminating the four-wheel-drive system saved 200 pounds, giving the Sport Classic a better power-to-weight ratio than the Turbo. This powerful setup benefitted from equally advanced systems, including rear-wheel steering, adaptive dampers, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), and active anti-roll bars—all sourced from the Turbo S. Porsche also equipped the car with Dynamic Chassis Control and Active Suspension Management, ensuring that its high performance could be harnessed safely and comfortably while maximizing driver engagement and feedback. The Sport Classic’s design stayed true to Porsche's tradition of meticulous attention to detail. It retained the Turbo's widebody dimensions but introduced unique elements such as a carbon fiber hood, a "double bubble" roof inspired by the Carrera GT and the original Sport Classic, and the iconic ducktail spoiler, again paying homage to the Carrera RS. The retro styling extended to its 20-inch front and 21-inch rear five-spoke centerlock wheels, reminiscent of the Fuchs wheels first introduced in 1967. Inside, the cabin was a masterclass in craftsmanship and nostalgia. Leather seat cushions with houndstooth fabric inserts evoked the earliest 911 models, complemented by wooden dashboard accents and green instrument backlighting for a warm, classic ambiance. Performance-wise, the Sport Classic boasted impressive figures, with the run to 60 mph lasting a scant 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 196 mph. However, its mid-range performance and efficiency in high gears truly stood out. The seven-speed transmission allowed for 70 mph cruising at just 1,800 rpm, with maximum torque available at an incredibly low 2,000 rpm. Combined with a finely tuned chassis, exceptional grip, and nearly 550 horsepower channeled exclusively to the rear wheels, the Sport Classic offered a driving experience distinct from other 992 variants. Just one of 1,250 992-generation 911 Sport Classics built worldwide, this magnificent example, limitation number 299, was delivered in May 2023 to Porsche Minneapolis with 17 delivery miles, finished in the rare Paint to Sample color of Dolphin Gray (Z99). The exterior harkens as far back as the Porsche 901 and perfectly complements the interior with Classic Black Heritage Design trim and Black carpeting. Naturally, PCCB, Sport Chrono, PASM Sport Suspension, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with Backrest Shells in Leather, Extended Dashboard and Door Panel Package in Leather, Front Axle Lift, Carbon Fiber Roof are the highlight Sport Classic standard features. Optional extras include the Burmester Surround Sound System, Interior Trim Inlays in Leather, Inner Door-Sill Guards in Leather, Ambient Lighting, and Under Door Puddle Light Projectors. According to the clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report the car passed to its second owner in June 2024 with 2,023 miles. Under its second owner, the car was driven less than 400 miles yet received no less than three services at Porsche Woodland Hills—including its timed 10,000 mile visit. At cataloging, the odometer reads just 2,383 miles, hardly broken-in by Porsche standards. Combining remarkable yet approachable performance, impeccable craftsmanship, limited production numbers, and unmistakable Porsche heritage, the Sport Classic stands out as one of the most well-rounded and collectible models in recent memory. This particular example is further elevated by its attractive Paint to Sample specification, body color wheels, extensive list of options, and consistent maintenance, making it a truly exceptional find for those in search of one the finest Porsches of the modern era.
