23 hp More from a 3.8-Liter Direct-Injection Flat-6

This model is based on the current 911 Carrera S, but reflects the image of the original 911 that debuted in 1963. It is said that approximately three years were spent on its development.

Development was handled by "Porsche Exclusive," known for its extensive customization work. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the fixed rear spoiler, inspired by the ducktail of the 1973 "Carrera RS 2.7" (the "73 Carrera"). A dedicated front lip spoiler has also been added, and the roof features a "double-bubble" design unique to this model.

The engine is the same direct-injection 3.8-liter flat-six as the base car, but the addition of a newly developed resonance intake manifold with six negative-pressure-controlled switching flaps boosts maximum output to 408 hp, an increase of 23 hp. The transmission is a 6-speed manual only.

Limited Production of 250 Units Worldwide

The widened chassis is equipped as standard with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), a PASM sports chassis with a 20mm lower ride height, and a limited-slip rear differential. The standard black-painted 19-inch Turbo wheels also evoke the feel of the classic 911 Turbo (Type 930).

The interior makes extensive use of new materials. The dedicated adaptive sports seats and door panels feature "Woven Leather," crafted from smooth leather strips and braided yarn. The dashboard is finished in espresso-colored natural leather, perfectly coordinating with the exclusive Sport Classic Grey body color.

The 911 Sport Classic was officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with a global production run of 250 units. Only 12 will be allocated to Japan. The price is ¥27.4 million, and orders will be accepted starting September 30th.

BRAND HISTORY

Porsche is a sports car brand representing Germany, earning overwhelming support from discerning enthusiasts worldwide. Its origins trace back to 1931. Ferdinand Porsche, a prodigy who distinguished himself as an automotive engineer from his twenties, gained experience as technical director at Daimler before establishing his own "Porsche Design Studio" in Stuttgart, Germany. From there, he was entrusted with the development of various vehicles for different automakers. Among his most famous works is the "Volkswagen Beetle," which significantly contributed to motorization as Germany's "people's car."

The first car to bear his name as an automaker was the "356," which appeared in 1948. Since then, Porsche has introduced sports cars such as the "911," "924," and "928," while also focusing on motorsport. For instance, they achieved 16 victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, arguably the world's most grueling race, and contributed to three series championships as an engine supplier in Formula 1, accumulating a brilliant racing record. It goes without saying that their engineering prowess and dedication to driving performance live on in their products today.

Currently, the "911," which continues to be highly regarded as a top-tier sports car even 45 years after its debut, along with the open-top sports car "Boxster," its coupe counterpart the "Cayman," and the premium sports SUV "Cayenne," all boast immense popularity.
