Porsche 993 Turbo

The vehicle in detail

The Porsche 993 Turbo is a special car in the history of the 911, as it marked the beginning of a new era for the 911 Turbo that every subsequent generation has followed. Although it retained an air-cooled flat-six, the engine received a twin-turbo setup and all-wheel-drive system – both derived from the 959 supercar. Producing 400 hp, the 993 Turbo did away with the old Turbo’s “widowmaker” reputation and instead combined exceptional driver enjoyment with all-weather capabilities, making it the ultimate do-everything supercar.

This 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo is a Rest of World example, finished in the stunning color combination of white over a red full-leather interior. Showing 44,938 km (approximately 27,923 miles) at the time of cataloguing, this car was ordered from the factory without a sunroof, which is a rarity for the 993 Turbo. The beautiful red interior is brought to the next level thanks to leather-wrapped air vents, dashboard, and lower console, while aftermarket red carbon fiber trim is fitted on the dash, steering wheel, and column surround.

As the end of the air-cooled era for Porsche, the 993 Turbo is a perfect blend of classic driving feel mixed with performance that remains impressive more than 25 years after it was built.
