Porsche will pull the covers off a limited edition 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Only 250 of the 911 Sport Classic will be made, and some will find their way to New Zealand.
Designed by Porsche’s specialist arm, the $430,000-ish supercar caters for true 911 enthusiasts.
The Sport Classic, which is based on the Carrera 2S, features a unique double-domed roof and is staunched up with a 44mm wider rear.
It is powered by a tweaked version Porsche’s 3.8 litre six cylinder boxer engine, which packs a newly-developed resonance intake manifold with six vacuum-controlled throttle blades. No flappy-paddle transmissions either, the Sport Classic only ships with a six speed gearbox.
Other standard goodies include Porsche’s big-money ceramic composite brakes, PASM sports suspension, which lowers the car by 20mm, a limited slip rear axle and custom 19-inch rims.
The interior features woven leather made up of smooth leather strips and woven yarn on the new adaptive sports seats, and the dashboard has a wide range of inserts and add-on components and is finished in Espresso natural leather.
Well-heeled 911 fans can try and get their hands on the rare machine when it arrives here early next year.
