3,608cc Air-cooled Twin-Turbo Flat 6-Cylinder Engine Electronic Fuel Injection 408bhp at 5,750rpm 6-Speed Manual Transaxle - All Wheel Drive 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Two New York owners from new *Complete with books, tools, and recent service records *The last air-cooled 911 Turbo *Stupendously fast in 1997, still incredibly quick today THE PORSCHE 993 In 1993 Porsche introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form; the Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognizably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest, 3.6-liter version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine. The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995 as a 1996, continued to hold the torch of the most powerful 911 variant while continuing to improve the breed as a whole. 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 and a system that greatly improved the performance of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges—resided the 3.6 liter flat six fed by twin KKK K16 turbos, each featuring integrated wastegates and two charge air intercoolers. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and stance, specially designed 'Technologie-Rad' cast alloy wheels, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels tearing into the pavement, 0-60mph came in a face melting 3.7 seconds, 100mph ticked by in 5.7 seconds, and the forward progression continued until the speedometer had crossed 180mph. Beyond just going fast in a straight line though, the car could pull up to 1.00g on the skidpad and haul to a stop from 60mph in just 111 feet. In reviewing the 993 Turbo in June of 1995, 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." So popular was the 993 Turbo that production continued until July 1998—nearly a year after the introduction of the 996 model that replaced the 993. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This Turbo was delivered new to Porsche of Rosyln on Long Island, New York in October of 1996, just over one month after it had been completed in Zuffenhausen on September 2nd. Finished in optional Arctic Silver Metallic over Classic Grey leather, numerous option boxes were ticked including aluminum trim on the hand brake, shifter, and instruments, heated front seats, Bose surround sound, and more bringing the window sticker to $113,717. Driven an enthusiastic 15,000 miles in the first three and a half years on the road, it should be noted that the CARFAX report indicates an accident in August of 2001 and close inspection shows the left front panel has been repainted and the rear bumper has sustained damage at some point in its life. The original owner kept the car until 2006 when it was acquired by the current owner with 26,586 miles on the ticker. Since acquisition, a less than 7,200 addition miles have been covered bringing the total to just over 34,200 miles from new. Garaged whole life, it has always been regularly serviced with the last nine years of records demonstrating careful maintenance by Porsche specialists Pepe Performance Cars in Larchmont, New York. Complete with its original books, tools, recent service records, and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, it is one of only 1,048 993 Turbos delivered to the United States in 1997 and is begging to be driven.
