One of the sports cars produced by the Stuttgart-based manufacturer with a curious history, a revolutionary project that made this Porsche series one of the rarest. Since 1967, the Porsche 911 has been equipped with Sportomatic technology, conceived and developed by Stuttgart engineers to improve the usability of the 911 model by combining the traditional manual transmission option with an unconventional “semi-automatic” version, patented specifically by Porsche to combine performance and driving comfort of an automatic transmission using just two pedals. The new offering was initially not so appreciated due to the many prejudices of more traditional Porsche customers, but everything changed when Porsche decided to equip a 911 R and a 911 S with Sportomatic and enter them in the Marathon de la Route. In this 84-hour endurance race on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the 911 R with Sportomatic won with a total advantage of 34 laps. Interestingly, the 911 S with Sportomatic even recorded better fuel consumption than a 911 S with a manual transmission, which was also used in competition. The example offered is in impeccable condition, the result of a huge documented restoration completed in recent years; it pairs a striking pastel blue body color with a black leatherette interior. The car also boasts ASI registration with CRS (italian national certification for classic cars) and a Porsche certificate of origin and originality. Ideal for all enthusiasts of the Stuttgart brand who don’t want to give up the comforts of modern car.
