As Art Director of evo I have seen my fair share of exotic cars but nothing has stopped me in my tracks as much as Porsche’s new Sport Classic.

Why? It’s the blend of historic touches brought up to date with a creative touch that I like. The whale tail, the stripes and the ducktail all remind me of 911s of old but with an artistic eye they have been subtly blended into something new.

To the untrained eye you would think its just another 911 ready for the paint shop as it sits there in primer but it’s not until you look closer that the designers thoughts become apparent.

The time that has gone into the stripe detail that flows through the rev counter and over the top of the gear lever is sublime. The black Fuchs style alloys that have a polished lip just to add a bit of bling but also catches a hint of yellow from the caliper of the carbon brakes. The black headlight surrounds may look ‘lick and stick’ but they are a nod to 911 RSR Turbo race car and that level of detail makes me want one so badly.

Designing evo is all about the attention to detail and when I see it in a car it really gets my creative juices flowing.
