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 features 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.
