REVIEW: With rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox, the Porsche 911 Sport Classic is a mouthwatering prospect - but is it worth the £214,200 asking price?
: the former offers a similar performance feel, and the latter is the one to hark back to a bygone era. By slicing the 911 into ever more minuscule sections, Porsche is swimming in a small, but profitable, pond.Obviously the most instantly recognisable difference when you drop into the seats is the houndstooth fabric, made from a new material called Pepita. It looks and feels special, despite Porsche rolling it out across a few limited editions.
There’s nothing wrong with the gearbox’s action, because it has a neat and precise throw, but cramming seven ratios across the gate means you can’t slide from third to fifth, say, with the same degree of confidence you get in a six-ratio ’box. It’s more of a staccato movement. On a hot summer’s day, the grip and traction are such that you can’t tell the car is no longer four-wheel drive. It’s only when you really start to press on, and in tighter bends, that it’s possible to feel a bit more wiggle from the rear end. But you’d still have to be going some to get the rear 315/30 ZR21 Pirelli P Zero tyres to come unstuck.But that little bit of movement at the back is crucial, because it makes the Sport Classic a bit more playful than the regular Turbo.
