Porsche 993 Carrera S

The vehicle in detail

As can be expected for a higher mileage example, the car has had a full respray. This was performed by Porsche Madrid in 2012 and is also registered on a 7 page invoice. Today; the entire external bodywork emits a deep glossy shine overall with all glass and lenses remaining clear and free from any cracks or crazing. Despite the higher mileage, only lighter signs of use can be seen on the interior; a testimony to the car’s careful owner and the quality of these fine cars. The seats, door cards, switches, door cappings and dashboard are totally unmarked. Carpets and mats also remain in fine order.

Having been used sparingly by the current – and just second – owner, this 993 Carrera 2 S is arguably, one of the best ever Porsche 911’s produced, and even by today standards, certainly no slouch! The car received a Porsche Classic 111-points check as well.

Launched in 1997 as a rear-wheel drive version of the Carrera 4S, Carrera S combined a wide body look with more power over the year’s base model, pushing out 285 horsepower through its 3.6-liter “VarioRam” flat-six cylinder engine. It was specified from the factory with a suite of additional features which attest to its touring capabilities: traction control, limited slip diff, air-conditioning, a power sunroof and lightweight hollow-spoke wheels.
