2022 Porsche 911 Sport Classic

According to some rumors, the Porsche 911 Sport Classic will debut early next year in a limited edition. Like the previous model which was made in 250 units and sold before the official presentation, the same is expected from the new 911 Sport Classic.

The arrival of the new 911 Sport Classic is confirmed by spy photos in which the car is shown with a bit of camouflage on it, which means that the tests are coming to an end. As we can see it shares the design with the 911 Turbo model but with some minor modifications, such as the rear spoiler with brake light and front grille.

The Porsche 911 Sport Classic will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo direct-injected flat-six engine with 473 hp (352 kW) at 6500 rpm and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque at 2300 rpm. The same engine uses the Porsche 911 GTS. Reaches 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual or 8-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission. It is mounted on slightly larger wheels with five-spoke aluminum rims.
