As the retro styling clues, including a ducktail rear wing and gorgeous Fuchs-style wheels, allude to the 911 Sport Classic was a limited-edition celebration of the hallowed 911 Carrera 2.7 RS from 1973. Based on the 997-type Carrera S, a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six engine delivered 408 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
While the exterior, which also gained a new front apron and racing stripes, was beautifully finished in the shade of Sport Classic Grey, it is the interior that is the rear showstopper. Exquisite Espresso leather is complemented by houndstooth pattern-like fabric inserts for the seats and door cards.
Of the limited run of 250 cars, this example is number 108. It was delivered on 23 May 2010 via Autocentri Balduin, the official Porsche dealer based in the north of Rome, Italy. Subsequently acquired by the Curated Collection, this 911 was serviced by Kronos, near Brussels, Belgium in May 2022 at a cost of €2,284.
