Earlier in the year Porsche announced another limited edition 911. This one is called the Sport Classic and is limited to just 1,250 units. The Sport Classic combines the 911 Turbo (the capital T Turbo) powerplant with a manual transmission. This is big news since you could not get a 911 Turbo with a manual since the 997 generation. The car also has other retro design touches such as the duck tail spoiler. It is a fabulous car that was quickly sold out and rolled into private collections. We just hope Porsche introduces the 911 Turbo with a manual option on production cars in the future.
Joe has been obsessed with cars since he got his very first Matchbox toy in the ‘70s. In 2003, he found a new obsession in track days that led to obtaining his SCCA competition license in 2015. In 2019, he became a certified driving instructor for the National Auto Sport Association. His love for all things four wheels has never wavered, whether it's driving some of the best cars in the world on the racetrack, tackling 2,000-mile road trips in 2-seat sports cars or being winched off the side of a mountaintop in a Jeep. Writing for the suite of Internet Brands Auto Communities sites, including Rennlist.com, Ford Truck Enthusiasts, 6 Speed and more allows him to share that knowledge and passion with others.
