Listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, this 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic is one of 1,250 examples produced worldwide, combining the performance architecture of the 911 Turbo with the increasingly rare pairing of rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. This example is #57 of the production run and has covered just 842 miles.
Based on the 992-generation 911 Turbo S, the Sport Classic was conceived as a modern interpretation of Porsche’s most influential heritage models, particularly the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Its signature fixed ducktail spoiler, Fuchs-style wheels, gold badging, and Heritage Design elements deliberately reference Porsche’s past while retaining the aerodynamic sophistication and engineering of a contemporary 911.
Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six producing 543 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the all-wheel-drive Turbo S, the Sport Classic sends its output exclusively to the rear wheels through a seven-speed manual transaxle, creating a configuration that was virtually absent from Porsche’s modern Turbo lineage. The chassis is correspondingly sophisticated, incorporating Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, rear-axle steering, and a front-axle lift system. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes provide additional high-performance stopping capability.
This particular car carries a highly distinctive specification, having been ordered through the 918 Spyder VIP program via Porsche Woodland Hills in California. Its paint-to-sample Azzuro Thetys Metallic exterior is complemented by a Heritage Design Interior finished in Classic Cognac and Black. Lightweight glass, a carbon-fiber double-bubble roof, LED Matrix-Design headlights with PDLS+, Exclusive Design taillights, and 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Sport Classic wheels further distinguish the car.
Inside, heated power-adjustable seats combine Cognac leather with Pepita-style cloth inserts, while the black leather GT Sport steering wheel frames Porsche’s characteristic central analog tachometer and configurable TFT displays. A dashboard-mounted stopwatch reinforces the car’s motorsport-inspired character.
Additional equipment includes a Burmester High-End Surround Sound system, Lane Change Assist, Porsche Communication Management with navigation, ambient lighting, an ionizer, aluminum pedals, and puddle-light projectors. With its limited production, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, Turbo-derived powertrain, and carefully executed historical references, this Sport Classic represents one of the most distinctive modern interpretations of Porsche’s 911 formula.
