Porsche 993 Carrera S

Porsche 993 Carrera S

Coupé, 1997

Highlights

  • X51 3.8 L with 300 hp
  • Only built 85 times
  • Nice condition

For sale is a Porsche 993 Carrera S with the 3.8l / 300 hp engine. According to the Tubolook register, the X51 option was only produced 85 times and is therefore very rare. The X51 option has been confirmed in writing by a certificate from Porsche France.

The Carrera S models are, alongside the Turbos, some of the most sought-after vehicles in this series today. And rightly so, because with the wide Turbo body without spoiler, the car not only looks stunning but is also very agile with its rear-wheel drive and lighter weight compared to the 4S. When you also consider the factory power increase to 300 hp, the factory-supplied 18-inch Turbo hollow-spoke rims and the Porsche engine sound package, you can certainly imagine how much fun and enjoyment you can have with this 993.

And to be honest, every 993 with the wide Turbo body should actually have this engine with an output of 300 hp available, because it makes the car much more interesting and simply has the performance that you hope for, unfortunately the 25,000 DM expensive option package X 51 prevented this too often and in the end only 85 vehicles were ordered and produced worldwide.

The vehicle in detail

The car offered here is in beautiful condition. The vehicle was originally delivered to France with the country code C05 and has had a total of six owners there. The last owner, Dr. François B., bought the car on September 12, 2012, with 111,000 km on the clock, for €60,000 from the Porsche Center in Lorient. Dr. B. was a passionate collector of sports cars and also an amateur racing driver with two confirmed entries in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1994 and 95.

Dr. B. only drove the car very rarely, partly due to his relatively extensive collection, and has only driven a total of 4,000 km with the 993 in the last 14 years. There is no service entry in the maintenance booklet for this 4,000 km mileage, but a few documents from the intervening years do document the mileage. For example, there is a service invoice from 2019 with a mileage of 114,000, which unfortunately was not stamped in the service booklet. Of course, it is clear that the car was driven less and less as the owner grew older. Dr. B passed away on October 19, 2024, at the age of 78. His heirs have now sold the car to us.

The vehicle has an invoice history dating back to 2004. The original service booklet is also available. The entire vehicle has been repainted at some point over the years, and it also looks as if the rear right fender was replaced. We could not find any damage to load-bearing parts.

All numbers on the vehicle are original; the numbers on the front and rear hoods match the number entered on the label in the hood. The engine and gearbox numbers are also original. The all-important S next to the engine code is also present and confirms the authenticity of the X51 option.

The brakes and tires are new, and the engine shows no signs of oil loss. We only found an oil leak on the switch flap on the variator, which will of course be rectified. Otherwise, the car has, of course, passed our technical inspection, and we are currently repairing the defects we found.

Overall, we are offering a very rare and good vehicle with relatively low mileage and a promise of lots of driving pleasure.
