Porsche 911 Sport Classic (992)
Why 2.0: The only 992 that combines the Turbo's wide body and its 3.7-litre engine with rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed manual, wrapped in a ducktail, a double-bubble roof and Pepita cloth. Porsche built 1,250 and allocated them, which set the second-hand price before most of the cars had been registered.

Sound
The 3.7 twin-turbo flat-six is the GT2 RS unit detuned, and the manual at least lets you hold it to 7,000 while you listen. But two turbochargers sit between you and the flat-six, and a ducktail does not change that.

Child seats · ISOFIX
Two ISOFIX positions on the outer rear seats — jump seats, so the question is whether the seat physically fits behind a front occupant, not whether the anchors are there.
The rear anchors are the supported route — the manual points child seats there, and front-passenger ISOFIX is the exception rather than the rule. A belt-mounted seat up front needs the airbag off, and cars with a rear row don't always fit a deactivation switch, precisely because the rear seats exist.
Derived from production years and seating layout, not a per-car source. ISOFIX was standardised as ISO 13216 in 1997, required on new EU model types from 2011 and on all new EU cars from 2014.
The long version
On paper this is the most interesting 992 Porsche has made: a detuned Turbo engine sent only to the rear axle through the manual gearbox that the Turbo itself is never offered with, in a body two generations of enthusiasts have been asking for. In practice it is the clearest flip case on this entire list. Cars listed at roughly double the €240,000-class list price within months of delivery, the auction record went past three quarters of a million dollars, and the mileage on almost every example that has changed hands is measured in the hundreds. Prices have started coming back toward something defensible as the allocation frenzy cools, and the honest question is whether the second owners drive them any more than the first ones did.
