Oh my LORD. This is hands-down my favorite recent special edition Porsche. Ducktail, Fuchs-style wheels, some retro colors--wowee zowee.
I'll assume the styling will go over well w/ this crowd ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/cool-18.png)

I like it, but almost too supercar-ish for me.
I've always wondered why they never had a modern Fuchs-style wheel.
For some reason the front end immediately reminded me of the Ferrari 360.

because you cannot make perfect any better?
OMG, I just did something dirty in my pants..
That is by far the best looking modern day Porsche since the 95turbo

I think it looks great! I am really glad they went back to using the round headlights on the 911s!

Looks brilliant. The retro cues work really well.
I could do without the stripes, though.

I like it, but like all new Porsches can't afford it....maybe I too could afford the personalized lanyard.
I love it all, except the Altezza style rear lights.

Did you read the berkleying pricetag?!?!?!?!!! Yeah, the ducktail and Fuchs are cool, but they aren't that cool!!
Yes, it's beautiful, but they're only building 250 at 1/4 mil each.![](/media/img/icons/smilies/googly-18.png)

It's cool, but for the price tag I'd have a real '73 Carrera RS, and a lightly used GT3.

It is very cool, I really like the way it looks but I am with Josh.
I wonder how much the ducktail decklid would be? It might look nice on a GT3 RS...maybe a retro 2.7 RS recreation.

I can understand Porsche not wanting the rear badging to read "911 SC", but "911 Sport Classic" all spelled out in badges is a little too much chromed plastic on the decklid. Very cool pattern on the seat inserts though.
