On the inside, black leather covers the seats and door cards, and both front seats are equipped with full power adjustment. What separates this 993 from other Carrera Cabriolets is the stunning Special Wishes options on the interior. To match the striking Speed Yellow on the exterior, the original owner specified Speed Yellow leather accents on the handbrake, shifter, and shift boot and the leather-wrapped gauge surrounds. Additionally, Speed Yellow seatbelts were optioned from the factory. These combine to make a particularly special feeling interior and likely a one-of-a-kind specification. Powering the 993 Carrera is a 3.6-liter M64 Flat-6 engine that produces 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and loves to pull hard all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. 1996 was the first year of the VarioRam system on the 993, which features variable length intake runners and is designed to optimize both low-down torque and high RPM power. The implementation of this system resulted in an increase of 14 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual Getrag gearbox with Porsche’s famous floor-hinged pedals. The 993 is the perfect sports car for enthusiasts looking for a classic driving experience paired with modern performance and reliability. This Carrera Cabriolet, in its appealing color combination and numerous Special Wishes options, will stand out in the sea of grey and black 911s and will be a great conversation piece at any PCA event.
