![The best sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show is one we can't get our hands on. By <a href="http://sharpformen.com/author/william-stodalka/">William Stodalka</a><div id='nr_fo_top_of_post'></div><p><strong>“’Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.”</strong> Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote that about his friend Arthur Hallam, but it’s surprisingly apt to describe German sports cars, as well. Specifically, the 2011 Porsche 911 Sport Classic.</p>
<p>Set to be introduced at the <a href="http://www.iaa.de" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.iaa.de']);">2009 Frankfurt Motor Show</a>, this special edition 911 takes a lot of cues from previous Porsche models, as the name would suggest. This including the classic ducktail spoiler of the 1973 Carrera and the black headlight surrounds of the 1974 Turbo RSR. Even the black rim paint is a reminder of the Fuchs rims used by Porsche in the 60s. Other design changes include a widened rear panel and up top, it’s got a newly developed ‘double bubble’ roof, similar to the Carrera GT.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, because of this rooftop design and rollover requirements, us Nordamericanos won’t be able to get our hands on it. You can retrofit the wheels, power kit, and other options of the Sports Classic from Porsche Tequipment, but not the Carrera spoiler or the front spoiler and rear bumper.</p>
<p>Which means we won’t get to experience 408 hp, 19-inch rims, and a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. The good news is that even if they were available on these shores, you might not be able to get your hands on one anyway, because only 250 will be made. It’s almost enough to make us wish we were European.</p>
