    Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2022

    The 911 Sport Classic's design elements include a large carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic ducktail spoiler in the rear.

    Porsche is introducing a limited-production version of the "ducktail" 911.

    The sports car maker will build 1,250 of the 911 Sport Classic, which pays homage to the 1970s-era 911 Carrera RS 2.7

    The 911 Sport Classic, based on the wide-body 911 Turbo S, is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six pumping out 543 hp.

    Unlike the 911 Turbo models, the Sport Classic is available only with a seven-speed manual transmission powering the rear wheels.

    The 911 Sport Classic has unique design elements, including the signature large carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic ducktail spoiler in the rear and a fixed spoiler lip and LED matrix design headlights in front.

    Porsche also eliminated the large cutouts for the air intakes, giving the rear fenders a wider appearance. Instead, ducts underneath the ducktail spoiler channel air to the engine.

    The 911 Sport Classic will start at 272,714 euros in Germany. Delivery will be available from European Porsche Centers from July and additional markets will follow.

    The 911 Sport Classic is the second of four collector's items from Porsche's Heritage Design strategy. The first was the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition with design elements from the 1950s and 1960s, launched in 2020.

    Porsche will launch two more.

    "The Heritage Design models represent the most emotionally driven concepts of the Porsche product strategy," Alexander Fabig, the company's head of Individualization and Classic, said in a statement.

    The aim is to reinterpret iconic 911 models and equipment from the 1950s through to the 1980s and to revive design features from those decades, he said.
