If you regard the 997 Sport Classic as a parts bin special then so is this.

But they’re picking from a bin on a higher shelf this time

Nice way to put it....although the shelf is not that higher up.

Not a 3.8L?

I am wishing for a 6-speed manual.

I think that will be reserved for the Normally aspirated engine in the GT3. It would require new gearing to work with a turbo motor with a lower redline and similar top speed. I'm not sure what the torque limit is for the 6spd Manual, but it's possible that it's not high enough for a hi performance turbo motor as well.

wouldn't make sense for Porsche to take a 992 GT3 "touring" and perform a "GTS" exercise on it to create a "Sport Classic"?

So....in seriousness....would Porsche really try to offer both an Sports Classic and a 50th Anniversary RS within the same 12 month period, presumably both with ducktails....sports classic being turbo, and RS being N/A?

I mean....if they can make 1 of 992 and the other 1 of 1973......sure maybe, but a turbo sports classic feels not very special if that happens......

And what do we have for him Johnny!

Sport Classic = $200k GT3 with duck tail

2.7 RS tribute = $300k GT3RS with duck tail

The mule with a duck tail has a turbo body with a turbo motor...not sure where you are getting the GT3 bit from for the Sport Classic...

If you guys know what it is, can you hint at least when the rest of us will know? I'd love to know if I want this before my Turbo order locks in.

ipse dixit

I think this is a pretty good description of what it will be.

Not sure if anyone outside of Porsche actually knows, but my guess would be a RWD Turbo PDK with lightweight package, and of course, a duck tail. Not sure if it would be a numbered car, but certainly limited production so getting an allocation could be tough, depending on how ‘special’ it is...
