Sport Classic Grey 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Was Born Retro

The hue we have here went under the spotlights by the 911 Sport Classic, a heritage-flavored special edition that came around in 2009, but wasn't offered in the US.

Despite being based on the Carrera S, the special edition was loaded with options, while packing special elements such as Fuchs-style wheels, a double bubble rood and a ducktail. Oh, and let's not forget that just 250 units were brought to life (as you can imagine, this made all the difference in the world).

Going past the main hue of the car, we have to mention the satin black wheels, which don't do a very good job at concealing the red brake calipers of the Neunelfer. This, of course, means the Porscha comes with the standard steel brakes.

The machine also comes with the optional all-LED headlights, which come with silver inner graphics.

More importantly, this is a member of the save-the-manuals camp, as you'll be able to notice in the interior shot of the flat-six wielder. Speaking of the cabin, the Porscha also comes with white dashboard trim.

Interestingly, this Zuffenhausen machine is currently for sale, being offered by a dealer in Italy (you can check out the description of the Instagram post showcasing the car for the exact location of the car).

This is the second online-documented 991.2-generation GT3 that comes dressed in Sport Classic Grey, with the Insta post also including images of the first model. And the two are separated by certain options. As such, the first car features PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes and full bucket seats shared with the 918 Spyder.

 

@PTSGT3 Exclusive: I wasn’t planning on posting this week due to hectic scheduling, but I could’t miss out on all of the fun. Here is the second known PTS Sport Classic Grey 991.2 GT3. The car features steel brakes, satin black wheels, sofas, white gauges, and happens to be for sale from @halmo_automotive in Italy for anyone interested. See photos 1-4. As mentioned, this is the second known Sport Classic Grey .2 example. The first example, an interesting spec with PCCBs and red-striped buckets, was a car that was offered by Porsche Plano after the original buyer backed out. See photos 5-7. As for the color, Sport Classic Grey was made famous by the 911 Sport Classic, a retro-inspired 911 launched in 2009. Limited to 250 examples, the car was a highly optioned 997 Carrera S sporting fuchs-style wheels, a twin-domed roof, a fixed ducktail (a nod to the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7), front lip, and dual stripes. The interior was adorned with Espresso Nature natural leather. The car cost nearly as much as a GT2 at the time of production and continues to be highly sought after, commanding 911 R prices. It was not available to the North American market. See photos 8-10. A lot going on here, but that’s it for now. Expect normal posting to resume next week.
