The 911 Sport Classic reinterprets historical design cues including a ducktail boot spoiler and a double-bubble roof.

It reinterprets historical design cues from that era, including the wide body that is usually reserved for the 911 Turbo models, fixed rear spoiler in the style of the iconic “ducktail” Carrera RS 2.7, and a double-bubble roof. The transmission has an auto-blip function for downshifts, and a sports exhaust system is specially tailored to the model for a more emotive sound experience.The suspension is based on the 911 Turbo and 911 GTS models and comes standard with Porsche Active Suspension Management and a 10mm lower ride height.
