The Porsche 993 summarizes the generation of all Porsche 911 models built between late 1993 and 1998 – was the last and most advanced of the “true 911’s”, in other words the legendary air-cooled Porsches. It was the successor of the Porsche 964 and featured significant styling and technical innovations:
The exterior design of the front and rear bumper as well as front fenders including light units and rear lights was changed: The “blockish” and dominant shape of the front and rear bumpers of the 964 was evolved into a sleeker design that was more integrated and flowing much better with the 911’s design. The front fenders and light units no longer featured the characteristic “Torpedorohr” design (torpedo tube design) but were incorporated better into the cars design now with the lights sitting in place less steeply positioned and more aerodynamic. The shape of the 993 is considered by many enthusiasts as the most homogenous and balanced of all 911’s.

Technical innovations included an all-alloy multi arm rear suspension attached to an all alloy subframe providing a more direct and stable handling and eliminating all older 911’s tendency to oversteer when lifting the throttle during hard cornering.

The 993’s air-cooled 3.6 litre M64 engine was derived from the 964 including some refinements which inter alia included an improved engine management system and a dual-flow exhaust system now incorporating two catalytic converters instead of one. With the 993 Porsche introduced a 6-speed manual transmission covering the increased speed range of 270km/h + and allowing the driver to use the best torque range of 4500rpm + in virtually every situation.

This 993 Carrera 2 Convertible with the tiptronic S and the Works Performance Kit X51 ist fully loaded. With its low mileage it is a perfect collectors piece.
