Porsche 911 997 Sport Classic Updated 02.09.2009 On sale: January 2010 Paint: Sport Classic Gray Interior: Espresso Nature natural leather Wheels: 19" Fuchs-look. Front 8.5x19 235/35R19, rear 11.5x19 305/30R19 Engine: 3.8 B6 normally aspirated, 408hp/300kW, 420 Nm Gearbox: Manual only. Porsche is pushing it's PDK, but fortunately they respect the best Porsches, so 911 Sport Classic, GT3 and GT2 are available only with the right gearbox - the manual one. And there is a LSD inside the box. Great! Brakes: PCCB - Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes. They have not justified themselves on cars used on race tracks, but as the 911 Sport Classic will be a collectors car only, then why not to look cool. Acceleration: 4.6 sec. 0-100 km/h Top speed: 302 km/h Production: 250 pcs. Price: 10.000 EUR more than 997 GT2 (wow!). So it is the 2nd expensive Porsche produced on this century (after the Carrera GT). Built inside 997 Carrera 4/4S wider body (44mm wider than narrow body), but using the mechanicals from rear-wheel-drive Carrera S. New roof design. Reminding Dodge Viper GTS. Fuchs-design wheels in 19". The original Fuchs wheels were introduced on in 1966 on a 1967 model 911 S and were available until 1988. Original Fuchs's were offered in 15" and 16" and they were produced using forging - they were pressed out of a flat aluminium cylinder, not moulded. Forged wheels are stronger than moulded wheels. Plaque on the front fender "Duck tale" is reminding the 1973 911 Carrera RS. Underneath the engine cover. Carrera S engine with WLS (Werks Leistung Steugerung - factory powerkit). WLS includes newly developed resonance intake manifold with six vacuum-controlled switching flaps, producing 23 hp's more. The interior looks very expensive and somehow similar to Aston Martin. What we think: 100% collector's car and not driver's car. For the same money "driver" would buy 997 GT3 for himself and 997 C2 for his wife. This is not to decrease the value of the 911 Sport Classic, but to show how expensive it is! Photos (c) Porsche AG
