Hi everyone, Just put a deposit for a 993 turbo with electronic clutchless manual box. Bought on impulse. Never driven a porsche or turbo car before. Any advice? Any thing i should know in maintaining the car? Heard have to let the car cool down before shut off the engine after a drive. True? How long to wait?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

That is what I was thinking. That would be cool, but I bet its not a turbo.

^^ Well, it was an option on the turbo R. Don't know how many were actually sold that way, but it was an option. But I also seem to remember there was some sort of knock-off done as well.

Dont know the existence of such electronic clutch until i saw the car. Its six speed like a manual. No clutch pedal. Just have to let go the acelerator and shift the gear stick. It seem its the only car with this spec here.

There's a RUF here in NZ with that gearbox. Apparantlty they're awesome.
I wonder if this is a RUF and you don't know it? Unlikely not to know that though.
You need to post some pictures and more info. You might as wll join RL as well. You will get a wealth of info here.
Good luck
