Classic At Inception.

‍

INTRODUCTION

With all the special cars we have the privilege to see and represent, like children, is it fair to have favourites? Because when it comes to special 911’s, the 992 SC is without doubt one of ours. The 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic represents a configuration that, by all modern standards, should no longer exist. Pairing a turbocharged flat-six with a 7-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, it delivers a level of engagement increasingly absent from contemporary performance cars.

Limited to just 1,250 units globally and around 20 delivered new to Australia, this example finished in the highly collectible launch-spec Sport Grey Metallic over Classic Cognac with Pepita inserts, captures the essence of Porsche’s Heritage Design philosophy. A curated driver’s 911, built for those who understand exactly why it matters.

VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS

CHROME TEMPLE exclusively presents this 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic in launch spec with low kilometres and as expected for its age and use (just 3,034 km from new) in exceptional condition throughout. Finished in Sport Grey Metallic (inspired by “Fashion Grey” from the 356) over a Heritage Design Classic interior in Black and Classic Cognac with Pepita inserts, it carries a factory aesthetic that is both historically informed and immediately recognisable with the OEM specified ducktail, and not to mention looks insanely good!

‍

As one of just 1,250 units produced globally and around 20 delivered new to the Australian market in right-hand drive, this example reflects a deliberate and highly collectible specification. Protected with full body paint protection film and accompanied by its books, car cover and two keys, it is offered here complete, uncompromised and ready for its next custodian.

OPTIONS & EQUIPTMENT

Features unique to the Sport Classic

At the core, it’s a tribute to the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and broader 60s/70s 911 design language. Every “why does it look like that?” detail ties back to something specific.

‍

That ducktail rear

Straight homage to the ’73 RS 2.7.

It’s not just retro theatre, it was originally designed for aerodynamics, and Porsche kept that philosophy alive here.

‍

Widebody stance (but RWD only)

It uses the Turbo body shell, wide hips, aggressive proportions.

But crucially, it’s rear-wheel drive only, like classic 911s. So visually muscular, dynamically purist.

‍

Double-bubble roof

Inspired by old-school motorsport helmets and lightweight racing design.

Also a nod to classic coachbuilt and race-prepped 911s.

‍

Gold details + heritage paint & badging (Sport Grey Metallic)

The Fuchs-style wheels reinterpret the iconic classic Porsche wheel design.

The subtle grey with gold combo is very period-correct—less shouty than modern GT cars.

‍

Manual gearbox only

This influences the entire vibe of the car. Porsche wanted it to feel analogue, so the design reflects that restraint, no massive wings, no track aggression.

‍

Interior (Pepita / houndstooth)

Direct throwback to 60s/70s Porsche interiors.

It reinforces the idea that this isn’t just a modern 911 with stickers, it’s a curated time capsule.

MODEL HISTORY

The 911 Sport Classic forms part of Porsche’s Heritage Design strategy, a program that reinterprets defining elements from the brand’s past through modern engineering. Its lineage traces back to the early air-cooled 911 models of the 1960s and 1970s, most notably the Carrera RS 2.7, from which it draws signature elements such as the ducktail rear spoiler and classic interior finishes.

The first modern iteration arrived in 2009 with the 997 Sport Classic, establishing the template for a limited-production, heritage-focused 911 built through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. The 992-generation Sport Classic advances this concept, combining Turbo-based performance with a deliberately analogue configuration.

By pairing a twin-turbocharged flat-six with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission, Porsche created a configuration absent from the broader 911 range. In doing so, the Sport Classic stands as a modern interpretation of the original 911 philosophy, prioritising balance, engagement and driver involvement over outright performance metrics.

FINAL SUMMARY

This 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic presents in one of the most authentic, desirable and collectible configurations available, combining its launch-spec Sport Grey Metallic finish with a Heritage Design Classic interior in Cognac and Pepita.

With just 3,034 km travelled from new, Australian delivery (1 of 20), full body paint protection film and complete documentation, it presents in exceptional condition throughout. As one of only 1,250 examples produced globally and configured in a drivetrain format that is increasingly rare, it represents a highly compelling modern Porsche.

A manual, rear-wheel drive, Turbo-derived 911. Limited, deliberate, and built for those who understand.
