Porsche 993 Turbo

The vehicle in detail

The 993 Turbo

The 993 series finds itself well placed in the 911 spectrum, encapsulating the unmistakable magic and unique feel of the air-cooled era whilst offering a modern yet involving driving experience. Turbocharged 911’s were the backbone of Porsches successful motorsport programme in the ’70s, 80’s and ’90s with many class and outright victories at famous events such as Le Mans and Daytona 24 hours.

The 993 Turbo was the last of the air-cooled era and is widely regarded as one of Porsches most desirable 911 variants, although it still has a classic timeless style, performance is still very respectable today. With an air-cooled twin turbo engine producing 408 BHP that puts the power down via a 6-speed gearbox, and an electronic 4wd system in standard form, it offers performance to embarrass a lot of modern cars today. With a top speed of 180mph and a 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds, it certainly does not hang around!

This example

This lovely example was originally supplied through Merlin Nottingham Porsche and was delivered on the 1st of August 1996. Finished in the desirable launch combination of Arena Red Metallic with full black leather interior. It also includes the sound package and hardback sports seats.

It has covered just 62,028 miles from new and been comprehensively maintained throughout its life. Now on its second service book, it has 22 stamps in total from both main agent Porsche and Porsche specialists with invoices for additional maintenance too.

This 993 Turbo certainly ticks the boxes for anyone looking for an exceptionally maintained, C16 example and in a sort-after specification too, ensuring its next custodian will have secured one of the more desirable air cooled 911s.
