Porsche offers a very wide range of 911 versions and this sometimes causes some problems when identifying new development prototypes that are being “hunted down”. But this copy that we bring you here — picked up at the Nürburgring and whose photos are a national exclusive of Razão Automóvel — is a completely different “animal”…
This isn't the first time a 911 (992) has been caught with a fixed rear spoiler that immediately takes us back to the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 that was later used in the Sport Classic limited editions of the 911. now we can see a specimen in what appears to be its final configuration, without camouflage.
From an aesthetic point of view, what stands out the most — after the duck's tail… — are the bumpers, as they were “stolen” from the Porsche 911 Turbo S, albeit with oval tailpipes. However, and unlike what happens with the models of the “Turbo” family, this unit does not have the usual side air vents.
The absence of the typical 911 Turbo side exits lead us to believe that this will no longer be a Turbo version of the Porsche 911, but that it could very well be the new Sport Classic version of the German sports car.
The latest Porsche 911 Sport Classic was presented to the world at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and had a production limited to 250 units, a number that soon made it a collectible. If confirmed, the Stuttgart brand should opt for a similar commercial strategy for this new incursion of the 911 Sport Classic, making it one of the most exclusive models in its range.
It remains to be seen which engine will be at the base of this 911 Sport Classic. The previous model was animated by a 3.8 liter flat-six block that produced 408 hp of power and 420 Nm of maximum torque, coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox.
