new porsche 911 sport classic 2023 — The 2023 Porsche Sport Classic 911 comes with features that were in the previous 911 models launched between 1960s and 1970s

One of the interesting facts about Porsche is that the 911 is one of the legendary sports car that has many wins under its name. Among the different models is the 911 Sport Classic. The new Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023 features a revised version of historical design elements. Let’s explore in detail the Porsche 911 Sport Classic exterior and interior design as well as performance capabilities:

PERFORMANCE

The 550 PS coupled with a 3.7-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine and rear-wheel drive, makes the 2023 Porsche Sport Classic a powerful manual 911 model ever launched. The new 911 Sport Classic comes with a 7-speed manual transmission gearbox that has an auto-blip function. This function caters for the engine-speed differences between the gears. The sports exhaust system has been tailored for the new Porsche Sport Classic 2023 to deliver an enhanced emotive sound.

Moreover, the standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is combined with sports suspension to ensure high performance. With PASM the shock absorbers have a quick response time to run-time changes.

EXTERIOR

The Porsche 911 Sport Classic exterior along with its sporty design features wide-body and flared rear bodywork. Also, the new Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023 comes with a fixed rear car spoiler based on the ‘ducktail’ of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and a double-bubble roof.

However, this new model does not come with the usual Turboside air intake which makes it different from the previous 911 models.

Talking about the Porsche 911 Sport Classic exterior colour, it’s the first model that comes in Sport Grey Metallic paintwork. On the other hand, to cater the different tastes of motorists, the new model is also available in Gentian Blue Metallic, solid Black and Agate Grey Metallic. The Paint to Simple complements the colour palette. The twin stripes on the roof, bonnet and rear spoiler further complement the sporty design of the 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic.

The 1963 Porsche Crest is also spotted on the 911 Sport Classic with ‘Porsche’ written in gold. The crest is another historic design element added to the new era model of the 911 Sport Classic.

INTERIOR

Pepita fabric was first used in the original 1965 911 model. The same fabric is used for the seat centres and door panels of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023. The fabric has a black and white diamond print along slanting stripes.

Additionally, a limited-edition plaque in gold colour with 911 lettering that also mentions the personal limited edition number and model designation is incorporated on the decorative trim of the dashboard. This plaque is in each of the 1,250 collector’s items that makes these models rare and unique.

An analogue rev counter featuring a needle and the historic layout is integrated into the interior of the new Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023. This analogue rev counter serves as the focal point of the instrument cluster. Other dials on the left and right of the analogue rev counter are high-resolution 7-inch displays. The white hands and green numerals on the dials are a tribute to the legendary 356 by Porsche.

Apart from the standard exterior and interior features in the Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023, motorists can also go personalise them. The Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers an array of interior and exterior personalization options.

This was all about the Porsche 911 Sport Classic 2023. For price details and detailed specifications of the new model, you can head to any of the official Porsche Centres in the UAE.
