Being the fourth-generation 911 design and the last 911 equipped with an air-cooled engine, it embodies what many Porsche drivers consider to be the heart of Porsche.
The 993’s integrated bumpers and pleasing design underscore the smooth elegance of its styling, including its new polyellipsoid headlights, and the beauty sculpted into the curved flanks the 993 widebody. The 993 was produced from 1993-1998 and remains highly desirable today.
Launched in 1995, the exceptionally agile and powerful 911 Turbo set a range of new benchmarks in supercar performance. In a June, 1995 review, Motor Trend magazine proclaimed, “To beat this Stuttgart screamer into submission requires a force no less wieldy than the million-dollar 627-horsepower V-12 McLaren F1.”
As the last 911 Turbo to have an air-cooled engine, it offered maximum output of 400 hp from a 3.6 liter displacement, and featured a notable new “tray-table” fixed rear spoiler. With four fat wheels propelling the car forward, its 0-60 mph time registered a blistering 3.7 seconds, and 0-100 mph ticked by in 5.7 seconds, with the forward progression continuing until the speedometer crossed 180 mph. Beyond brutal acceleration and sheer speed, however, with its larger brakes, the turbo could stop from 60 mph in just 111 feet. It could also pull up to 1.00g on the skidpad.
Among the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled viscous coupling all-wheel drive system – something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 supercar, and a system that greatly improved the active safety and driving dynamics of the Turbo. Twin KKK K16 turbochargers, each featuring integrated wastegates and two charge-air intercoolers offered better response and a more linear power delivery.
As one of 1,297 examples shipped to the United States in 1996, the 911 Turbo represented the ultimate 911 variant in the Porsche model range.
This one-owner, completely original example, shows 85,004 miles from when it was purchased new from an authorized Porsche dealership in Arizona in November of 1996. Documentation for this spectacular Turbo includes all books, service records and key set. The car also comes with the original factory tools, tool bag, jack tools, tow hook, 12V air compressor and spare tire.
The quality of the exterior Guards Red paint is completely original, having never been retouched or repainted. The front bumper cover and front hood show minor rock chips, as do the replaceable original clear plastic rear wheels arch protectors. The paintwork can otherwise be described as in good condition.
The interior quality and in particular the leather seats and bolsters are exceptional, showing like new. All interior buttons and controls are pristine and fully functional. There is some light wear around the buttons which is normal.
This 993 has been owned and carefully driven its entire life by an executive and Porsche enthusiast. It is a fully original and documented 993 Twin Turbo that has been unusually well cared for and naturally shows a clean vehicle history report. All records are up to date with a recent service at a local authorized Porsche dealership.
