Porsche is famously known for having a rich design history and drawing upon their lineage of historic sports cars to inject retro design with modern capabilities. The Sport Classic name, first introduced in 2009 with the 997, drew inspiration from the color Dolphin Grey in the Porsche 356 era to create Sport Classic Grey, and the rear ducktail from the acclaimed 2.7 RS from the early 1970s.

The 2023 Sport Classic is an exercise in making the best driving dynamics with styling to match. Limited to only 1,250 examples worldwide, the Sport Classic instantly became a classic. With a 543 horsepower 3.7L twin-turbo engine paired to a 7-speed manual transmission, the only transmission offered, power is sent to the rear wheels only, a callback to the original Porsche 911 Turbo first launched in 1974. Throwbacks to previous 911s include the use of wood trim on the dashboard, a Heritage Design interior harkening back to original cars, pepita fabric inserts, analog RPM and sport chrono gauges, and of course the signature ducktail spoiler over the engine in the rear.

Just because the Sport Classic is retro-minded, doesn’t mean that it was lacking in the technology department. As a part of Porsche’s continual melding of past and present, each Sport Classic was heavily optioned from the Porsche factory with the most popular options. This included 18-way Adaptive Sports Seats with heating, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Rear Axle Steering, Front Axle Lift, LED-Matrix headlights in black with PDLS, Sports Seats with leather backs, Extended Dashboard and door panels in leather, and more.

This 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, #684 of 1,250 produced, is optioned in the rare and stunning Paint-to-Sample Azzuro Thetys Metallic color, and the Heritage Design Interior - Classic Black was spec’d to compliment the exterior. This 911 Sport Classic shows just 40 miles on the odometer, and is in new condition with an original MSRP of $297,220. Upon arriving, it received a complete mechanical and cosmetic inspection, resulting in a fantastic example of the Sport Classic.
