Paint-to-Sample Racing Red 911 Sport Classic Heads to Broad Arrow's Las Vegas AuctionBroad Arrow Auctions is bringing one of the more compelling modern Porsches of the season to its second annual Las Vegas Auction, held with the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31, 2026. This 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic is number 224 of 1,250 built, wears a Paint to Sample shade of Racing Red, and shows just under 2,600 miles. Broad Arrow estimates it at $625,000 to $695,000.That is a big number for a car that is barely three years old, but the Sport Classic has never behaved like an ordinary new 911. Here is what makes this one stand out, and what the market data says about where that estimate sits.A Turbo S Engine With a Clutch PedalPorsche first used the Sport Classic name in 2010 on a 997-generation car built by what is now Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. That original ran a 402-hp naturally aspirated flat-six, came only with a manual and rear-wheel drive, and borrowed its ducktail and wheel design from the 1973 Carrera RS. Just 250 were made, and it quickly became a favorite with Porsche collectors.The name returned in 2022 as part of Porsche's Heritage Design strategy, and the recipe got much more serious. The 992 Sport Classic starts with the 911 Turbo S, keeps its 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six, and pairs it only with a seven-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. Output was dialed back to 543 hp and 443 lb-ft to protect the gearbox, and ditching the all-wheel-drive hardware saved about 200 pounds. The result was the most powerful 911 Porsche offered with a manual gearbox, with a better power-to-weight ratio than the standard Turbo.Porsche didn't skimp on the chassis either. Rear-axle steering, adaptive dampers, carbon-ceramic brakes, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and active anti-roll bars are all standard. Broad Arrow quotes a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph, but the more telling figure may be that peak torque arrives at 2,000 rpm, and the car turns just 1,800 rpm at 70 mph in seventh.Retro Details Done RightThe Sport Classic keeps the Turbo's wide body but adds a carbon fiber hood, a carbon "double bubble" roof that nods to both the original Sport Classic and the Porsche Carrera GT, and a fixed ducktail spoiler that points straight back to the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Center-lock wheels, 20 inches up front and 21 at the rear, are a modern take on the classic Fuchs design.Inside, Porsche leaned into nostalgia with houndstooth-style Pepita fabric seat inserts, wood dash trim and green-lit gauges. If that formula sounds familiar, it's the same kind of heritage-minded approach Exclusive Manufaktur took with the 911 Classic Club Coupe.Paint to Sample Racing RedThe Sport Classic launched in Sport Grey Metallic, so a Paint to Sample car stands out right away. Completed at Zuffenhausen in January 2023, chassis 0224 is finished in Paint to Sample Racing Red, a $12,830 option according to its PCNA build sheet. It's paired with Black semi-aniline leather and black and white Pepita cloth inserts. Since the Sport Classic came with almost everything as standard, the first owner's big decisions were the paint and the interior.The car was delivered new in Oregon and was later offered by Ryan Friedman Motor Cars in August 2025 with 1,791 miles. That same month, Porsche Beaverton inspected it and certified it as a Certified Pre-Owned car at 2,231 miles. It got a service in June 2026 that included an oil change, a brake fluid flush, and new pollen and cabin filters. It comes with its build sheet, a clean CARFAX report showing two previous owners, and the balance of both its factory and CPO warranties.What the Hagerty Data SaysThe Sport Classic has been one of the strongest modern Porsches in the market. According to Hagerty Valuation Tools, a 2023 911 Sport Classic in #3 (Good) condition is worth about $544,000 as of October 2026. That's up 4.4 percent from last year and 39.8 percent over three years, and it's roughly double the car's $272,300 base MSRP.Recent sales show how much mileage and spec can affect the price. Hagerty's recent sales data shows two Sport Classics with 842 and 120 miles each selling for $707,500 on Bring a Trailer in September 2026. On the other hand, a 3,900-mile example sold for $558,500 on October 5, and a 78-mile car sold for $535,500 in July. Hagerty says the highest public sale price of a Sport Classic in the last three years was $1.1 million. With low miles, a Paint to Sample color, and warranty coverage, Broad Arrow's $625,000 to $695,000 estimate places this car well above Hagerty's #3 value and close to the top of recent sales.It's also helpful to compare the Sport Classic to the car it's based on. Hagerty values a 2023 911 Turbo S coupe in #3 condition at about $270,000, and that value has dropped 1.1 percent over three years. The Sport Classic, with less power and a manual transmission, is now worth about twice as much. Interestingly, Hagerty values a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 coupe in #3 condition at $445,000, which is down 9 percent over the same period. So for now, the modern car honoring the RS is worth more than a good-condition RS Touring.Crossing the Block in Las VegasBroad Arrow launched its Las Vegas sale last year, and the 2026 event is expected to feature about 70 cars, led by a 2003 Ferrari Enzo estimated at $6.5 million to $8.5 million. The preview is on October 30, with bidding on October 31 at Wynn Las Vegas. Buyers interested in modern Porsche heritage editions should keep an eye on this low-mileage, CPO-backed Sport Classic, especially since the company has been focusing more on modern performance cars at its recent sales.For more from Broad Arrow's 2026 calendar, see our look at 10 standout cars from the Quail Auction.⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious
