    i have a 992 Sport Classic. And of course I've had the same thoughts in my Head. Let me tell you why I got it. For me it's a Car I will drive not that frequently. So whenever i go in my garage and take the SC for a spin it's something special. The moment you enter your garage and see this beauty, it's way more emotional that seeing a TurboS. Both cars are crazy fast und 99% of the time you don't need the Power. Had a GTS as a daily and it's perfect with its 480HP. I'm not a typical Porsche collector but the Sport Classic should stay as long as it gets. When you look at heritage Porsche models you never go: wow the power of a 993 4s is better than the power of 993 base model. You feel connected to the car because of the beauty it still has. That is why I think the 992 Sport Classic is just perfect. Why make it crazy fast, loud, or hard on the Road. I hope that in 20/30 Years I still go into my garage and see this beauty sitting there, ready to drive, giving me that emotion of driving something special. Because at the end that's what the SC is all about. My GT3 drives way better and I love to take it on the track. But taking the SC out is something else and hard to describe.

    The Turbo S a very special car. An incredible piece of machinary. So clinical and composed. 4 wheel drive. Crazy speed but for me i think its got to be the Sport Classic. The Recipe of big power, real wheel drive and manual drive with the driving dynamics of Porsche . I think its special. Very cool. On a Sunday id take out the Sport Classic out

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  Год назад +3

      I think the Sport Classic looks very special but if I had a £215000 budget I would buy a GT4 RS or a 991.2 GT3 Touring.

      I would recommend a 991.2 GT3 Touring. Great car, manual gearbox and with a few tweaks it can be very rewarding. We tested one on the channel last year. Take a look at the review.

    Cool video Mark. The Sport Classic looks are epic but would I be correct to think if you wanted a daily 992 911, a GTS would be the one to go for? Along with a huge saving in cash!! I'd love a ride in a 'special' 911, like the GT3, Turbo S or a GT4 just to experience it! 👍

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  Год назад +3

      The 992 GTS is very similar to the Sport Classic in many ways but of course not a limited edition car and it only has 480ps. That said, it is a lot cheaper and would make a great daily driver.

      Nice! A 911 is a hallmark vehicle and owning one is a relatively exclusive club that few can afford and enjoy. My present 911 is a 991.1 C4S, black in colour with a ducktail spoiler, and I think it looks great. The NA flat six engine is an incredible symphony that sounds like few others. The Turbo S is an incredible benchmark supercar that will destroy most vehicles in most performance metrics. Love the GTS as well!!

  • @888mattd

  • @shunzhoualonso6734

    Well I think the engineers in Porsche has done a good job trying to replicate the feel and the nostalgia of a 911 of the 70s or early 80s. If you have experience a 930 turbo, the Sport Classic is very akin to that. The power band, the turbo lag and also how the rear wheel drive these ignite the originity of how a Sport Classic should feel. Don’t forget the Sport Clasic is to commemorate the Heritage Edition. A history of Porsche 911 of yesteryear.

  • @HLife719
    @HLife719 Год назад +2

    It seems to me that the Sport Classic is more an upgraded Carrera with its 3.0 engine and the seven speed manual, than a Turbo S 3.8 with reduced power, deleted awd. Being a limited edition is the appeal.

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  Год назад

      It is a 992 GTS with more power and a better body.

    • @PaganiZondaF650hp
      @PaganiZondaF650hp Год назад +1

      It is the same 3.75 litre engine as the turbo. As MF said the power cut is probably due to the 7 speed manual. If someone dares to put a upgraded clutch in it they could probably go up to turbo s hp numbers with just a remap

  • @63humanbeing

    The mother of all the 911 modern classics is the 2013 911-50… A limited production of 1963 CS with a wide body, and plenty of classic design elements… An amazing car, and for some reason underrated by automotive experts… I am expecting this car value to skyrocket, time will tell 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Porsche , for quite some time already , is a master in launching limited edition models for astronomic prices. And Fans around the globe are paying any price. I do remember the days mid of the 90‘s when Porsche had its crisis and the prices were reasonable. They even had spares in their workshop at the factory where they sold them for less than the regular price. The days are long ago and Porsche will carry on bringing new limited edition cars on the market. Not for me. 😝😝😝

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  Год назад +1

      Some of the models that come from the GT division are excellent, but I agree, the Sport Classic is not one of them. I would prefer the Sport Classic to have 650ps and a PDK gearbox with RWD. That would be exciting for me.

    I don't think Turbo S buyers even care about manual. So a slightly slower Turbo S that looks a bit different but costs that much more? If you are a Turbo fan, probably not worth it. Maybe if you are a collector.

  • @peterbest5938
    @peterbest5938 Год назад

    In short in my opinion and experience - No. I really struggled to find the extra difference for the £50k above the already excellent Turbo S.
    In fact when you drive a very base 992 Carrera and then a loaded 992 GTS where the difference was also £40/50k including extras it’s also very hard to feel and accept it’s that much more money and that’s because the base car is very very good already. Just my experience

    • @888mf4
      @888mf4  Год назад

      Nothing will ever be as pure as the 997 GT3 RS models. However, if you are looking to buy a modern Porsche then the 992 Turbo S ticks a lot of boxes. I personally prefer the 718 GT4 and GT4 RS.

    I think that Porsche should modify the 911, so that it has a trunk (wink). To do this you would have to eliminate the rear seats and move the engine forward in a position in front of or on the rear axle. All in order to gain comfort and be able to transport more luggage (wink again).

    SC will hold its value and be worth approx double it’s list price (they are already commanding resale price.
    The TurboS is already sinking like a stone price wise
    A very strange concept this video. It’s like comparing brass to gold.

      The Turbo S is in many way the flagship model from Porsche and costs £168,900. The 992 Sport Classic is also a Turbo Charged engine and the list price is £215,000. So on paper the Sport Classic should offer the customer more fun for more money! However in reality it doesn't. The premium really is down to the fact that it is a limited edition model. By the way, the cheapest 992 Turbo S for sale in the UK right now is a 2020 model for £167,500. Still around list price 3 years after it was launched. So you are incorrect about prices sinking!

    No car in the world is worth 50k more than turbo s .Because there is no better car than that. But this is rare ,it will be limited production car . CARS SIMILIAR ( NOT EXACTLY) TO THAT FROM PREVIOUS 2 GENERATION NOW ARE DOUBLE THE PRICE ON THE MARKET. SO YES ITS WORTH IT ,BECAUSE YOU IMMEDIATELY HAVE 200 K INCREASE OF YOUR WEALTH ,WHEN YOU BUY IT .
