Frankfurt 09' Preview: 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic Brings Back the Ducktail



Love the Porsche 911, but want something even more exclusive...well here you go. Porsche has unveiled the 911 Sport Classic that is only available to a very few, but lucky 250 customers.

Developed by Porsche's in house Porsche Exclusive, the 911 Sport Classic is based on the Carrera S, but features a wider body and a newly developed double-dome roof. It also features a new front apron with a unique lip spoiler and outback the rear spoiler is fixed in position like the legendary ducktail on the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.

The 911 Sport Classic is powered by a 408-hp 3.8L mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

Inside the exclusivity continues with new materials that have never been used by Porsche, such as woven leather made up of smooth leather strips and woven yarn featured on the seat centerpieces. The dashboard is finished in Espresso Nature natural leather, which is a distinctive contrast to the exclusive body paint in Sport Classic Grey.

Sales begin in Europe in January 2010 for a starting price of 169,300 Euros.
