992 Sport Classic

[Bluesnose1812]

...... Did 1100 miles across France in 9 hrs in that .You do the maths on Ave speed .

Did the 9 hours include the time for the 10 refuelling stops

Lovely looking machine

I don't like the interior - looks quite cheap

At that price, one thing it isn’t is cheap.

Am sure the interior will divide opinion, as it has done already in this short thread.

The interior all looks great except for the cheap looking cloth bits (it probably looks better "in the flesh" )

That Pepita (or houndstooth) fabric is classic Porsche and actually quite sought after.

I agree about cloth/fabric seat centres being more comfortable than leather. My first three Porsches had leather seat centres, but I prefer the Sport-Tex seat centres in my T. Less cold in the winter, less hot in the summer, and better grip.

It's an interesting proposition £209k for a rear driven 550hp manual 911, 0-60 in 4.1 secs. I'm not sure where this fits. Yes it's limited edition with lots of extras and a few unique bits but it's rather expensive at that price. You could have just as much fun probably in a manual Carrera S (0-60 in 4.2s) for 99k plus extras. I know these will be over list on the 2nd hand market but I'm not taken with it.

I've had 996 C4S, 991.1 C4GTS, 991.2 C4GTS, 991.2 GT3, 992 C2S, 991.1 Turbo S and the best 911 I've owned out of all of those is the 991.2 GT3. Not a daily mind you and the compromise pick has to be the GTS models.

Currently a well Specced 992 GTS or a 992 Turbo S would be 130k and 180k respectively with the necessary extras. Both of those cars are faster than this Sport Classic.

I suspect that Porsche is releasing ‘special’ models to keep the top of the market supplied with high-margin vehicles, while the rest of us wait patiently in the queue.
