Interesting new Porsche 911 variant has been launched. The 911 Sport Classic takes cues from classic Porsche styling in previous 911s and melds them with the current generation of the 911. So you get the best of old and new....aside from the fact that the 911 already takes in a lot of the 911 design overall. What the Sport Classic, in widebody form for this variant, does is be a bit more from the ducktail spoiler that sits on the rear and the alloy wheel design as well as interior trimming like the houndstooth pattern in the door panels and seat centers.
