A Collector's Gem in Las Vegas

Broad Arrow Auctions is preparing to present one of the most intriguing modern Porsche models at its second annual Las Vegas event, scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the Wynn Las Vegas. The vehicle in question is a 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, identified as number 224 of only 1,250 units produced worldwide. Featuring a striking 'Paint-to-Sample' Racing Red finish and showing less than 2,600 miles on the odometer, the car is projected to fetch between $625,000 and $695,000.


Performance Meets Heritage

While a price tag exceeding $600,000 for a three-year-old vehicle is significant, the 911 Sport Classic occupies a unique space in the Porsche lineup. Unlike the original 2010 iteration, which utilized a naturally aspirated engine, the modern 992-generation Sport Classic is built upon the potent 911 Turbo S platform. Porsche engineers retained the 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine but paired it exclusively with a seven-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. To ensure reliability and dynamic balance, output was tuned to 543 hp, while the removal of all-wheel-drive components reduced the car's weight by approximately 200 pounds.


The vehicle is equipped with high-end performance hardware, including:

  • Rear-axle steering and adaptive dampers
  • Carbon-ceramic braking system
  • Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
  • Active anti-roll bars

Retro Aesthetics and Custom Touches

Visually, the Sport Classic blends modern engineering with classic design cues. It features a wide-body silhouette complemented by a carbon-fiber hood, a signature 'double bubble' roof, and a fixed 'ducktail' spoiler inspired by the iconic 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Inside, the cabin embraces nostalgia with Pepita fabric seat inserts, wood trim, and distinctive green-lit gauges.


The specific example headed to auction stands out due to its exterior color. Most Sport Classics were finished in Sport Grey Metallic; however, this unit features a bespoke Racing Red paint job, a $12,830 option at the time of order. According to documentation, the car has a clean history and currently carries the balance of its factory and Certified Pre-Owned warranties.


Market Valuation and Context

The 911 Sport Classic has consistently demonstrated strong value retention. Industry analysts note that its market performance significantly outpaces the standard 911 Turbo S. As one expert source observed:

«For now, the modern car honoring the RS is worth more than a good-condition RS Touring.»

While Hagerty valuation data suggests that models in 'Good' condition generally trade around $544,000, the combination of low mileage, the rare Paint-to-Sample finish, and active CPO status places this specific lot toward the upper end of recent market results, justifying the ambitious estimate provided by the auction house.
