Porsche is one of those brands that has become a victim of its own success. Possibly the only supercar marque that can be regarded as truly reliable (the rest being mostly Italian), it has become the transport of choice of any bounder in possession of a credit card. The result of this is a car maker with enough money to buy Volkswagen and more Porsches on the road in Essex than there are Ford Fiestas.
So what is a prospective Porsche owner to do? The answer has been provided by the introduction of the best looking 911 to roll out of Porsche's Stuttgart factory since Steve McQueen got behind the wheel of a Spyder.
With a tailfin and wheels reminiscent of the RS Carreras of the 1970s, the 2010 911 Sport Classic is all you could wish for in a new Porsche. It has the best bits of the bygone days with the sort of spec and performance you would expect from a new car.
It packs a punch to match its looks, powered by a 3.8L flat-six lump with DFI producing 408 hp, a top speed of 302kmh, and a specially tuned exhaust system which amplifies that trademark engine note.
Truly gorgeous in a light primer grey with subtle dark grey stripes from front to back, only 250 to be made and €200k.
I'll have one for Christmas please.
