Porsche 911 Sport Classic. Fantastic looks, 550bhp, 2WD but is it better than the GT3 Touring?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 2022 Porsche 911 Sport Classic is a £214,000 limited run special edition based on the 911 Turbo but with 2WD and manual gearbox only. How does it match up to my favourite 992 of the moment, the GT3 Touring? Find out here:

Rather than being a limited production Porsche, they all should have been made like this.

Yes I’m getting a bit fed up with Porsche launching model after model (GT4RS, GT3RS now Sport Classic) of great cars that are only offered to select clients and never actually go on general sale. The rest of us are then expected to pay those select clients double what they paid to get one on the used market. It’s a ridiculous money go round.

I absolutely adore that interior, such a breath of fresh air when compared to other modern cars. That spec with a dark green exterior, like british racing green, must be just heavenly. Since this is a homage to the classic Porsches, I do believe the NA 4.0L engine from the GT3 would be "purer" and more fitting for the Sport Classic, and also because it just sounds terrific.

Isn’t it just!
The sound of the manual gearbox is so beautiful .
There have been a lot of takes from Porsche on the “ultimate spec “ 911 over the years, but this one is definitely one of the very best!
By far the most beautiful of all 992 variants. If I had the money, this is the one I would get.
First time I heard about this car and listened to the option list I think it became my favorite Porsche ever, not that I'll ever own one. It's the idea of that engine mated to a manual and the interior is stunning. It looks the part as well, understated luxury and performance. Thank you for showing us around one, I really love your reviews.
As a MK1 Octavia vrs owner, I can tell you the white bits on the seats will be a nightmare to keep clean 🤣 But what a lovely car
I recently turned 1k miles on my new 911SC and love driving it…Ive had a lot of Porsches but this one is special 🤩…I also have ‘22 GT3…if I had to pick one for all types of roads and conditions it’s the 911SC…just a wonderful Porsche!
The stock exhaust on this car sounds great, considering it’s turbocharged! Love this car! Cheers
Harry, great review.....the styling on this version is just beautiful and well done. I could look at it for hours.
Love the interior of that car. Reminds me of a cafe I use to frequent in my youth. Orange plastic seats, wood effect Formica table tops and black and white table cloth. Lovely stuff.

I’ve spec’d a regular 911 with that Heritage interior, then only a couple of choice options. Nice to see one up close. Thanks, Harry.

The car on my 'if I won the lotto' list was always a GT3 Touring. Back in April I went to Porsche Colchester for an MoT and in the showroom was a Sports Classic. Obviously I spent a while looking and admiring. And only when I was sated did I notice that RIGHT NEXT TO IT was a GT3 Touring!! Didn't even see it. Lotto win list updated...!
another great review with awesome camera work, and editing, as usual.
Special review. Thanks Harry.
Lovely car great interior and that sound. Once again a fabulous review.
The green dials, the upholstery materials and the wood mimics the 1965 911. The wheels do mimic the New Beetle. I would have never guessed they were going for the Fuchs look, had you not mentioned it. 997 SC's wheels were perfect.
This is a spectacular machine! One of the best 911’s ever made, in my opinion.
I love how classic Porsche has remained. The interiors aren't overly tech and over the top. Beautiful!
Totally agree they should’ve done a modern rendition of the five spoke Fuchs wheels. Thanks for the excellent review Harry!
Stunning car. Great vid Harry!
Fantastic looking car; beautiful design work inside and out. Thanks Harry.
Harry I love both your channels... thanks
The iconic sports car. Love the look of this model and the interior a real charm.
Thank you Harry, a very nice review of this car , better than jc could do
These are so cool. Seen a few different specs online now and it looks so classy.
Another excellent video from Harry, not forgetting his helper behind the camera of course.👍 As for the car, the 911 has never pushed my buttons in any of it's variants so if I had £200k+ to spend on a Sport/GT coupe to actually use it certainly wouldn't go on this. To squirrel away as an investment, maybe. Obviously very well put together though.
Great review. I have a 20 year old 911 Carrera 2 which is always a joy to drive and a thoroughly brilliant car. Even though the 992 is bigger and heavier I’m blown away by Porsches ability to still make it a fantastic drive.

Thanks Harry. That is one beautifully executed machine. I like everything about it. High entry cost but likely to hold its value, being a limited run.
Wow that’s quite a neat configuration and I love the modern-retro this is. A very special car indeed.
An absolute stunning and classic car to keep, but drive it well! Wide, Turbo, RWD and Turbo... SOLD!
I think this has to be the nicest 911 I have seen, Love it.
Not usually a Porsche fan, but if they keep making cars like that I will be. And I love that interior. P.S. Good to see the Espada is back in the garage.
Love a manual review… keep em’ coming, great channel!
I love the throw back to the hounds tooth. Amazing:)
Really enjoyed this review on the Porsche 911 - watching from Adelaide, South Australia
Being turbocharged, it's probably a better grand touring car than a GT3 Touring. It'll be more relaxing to drive at high speeds, makes passing easier, a more relaxed exhaust note, a softer ride, etc. The problem is once you reach a fun bit of road, you want that naturally aspirated response and high revving 4.0L. OH, and it's the Pirelli tires that do indeed help with cabin noise.

Thanks Harry for another great video in the real world , I like the look of this sports classic , i do wish it wasnt turbo though but then i guess it would be too close to a gt3 / touring , It will be interesting to see what the Porsche ST model is going to be like when that comes out , There just seems to be too many different versions , would be better if they streamlined the range a bit i think

IMO this is the best car that came out this year. Also the ad by Porsche was equally top notch. Would take this over a 992 touring or st.
