All of the 911's best bits rolled into one car - AdamBcars finds out how it all fits together with the new Sport Classic
All the best bits from Porsche 911..liking the Porsche 911 Sport Classic – a rear driven, manual widebody Turbo with houndstooth upholstery, brown seats and wood trim. There’s a ducktail on the back, Fuch-a-like wheels on the side and a historic Porsche crest on the nose.
To be properly exclusive the Sport Classic needs its own space in the 911 range – no easy feat given the number of combinations and permutations of engine, driven wheels, roof configuration and body style offered by Stuttgart. Porsche’s marketing video for this car doesn’t feature a Nürburgring assault or a tarmac rally along an Alpine pass, instead we get models dressed in 60s fashion cruising along coastal hairpins to the sound of Shirley Bassey. And it manages an extremely satisfying waft for a near-200mph sports car with old-school charm and a well of ability so deep not even Shell could tap it.
In the dry at least this does make you question whether all-wheel drive is ever strictly necessary – the Sport Classic still feels tied down unless you’re trying quite hard and you’re unlikely to get beyond that point by accident. The steering isn’t suddenly improved by losing two driveshafts though, as it was already quite good, but offers up quick direction changes straight off the bat and as much feel as you can reasonably expect these days.
