The 1994 Porsche 993 Carrera is often praised as the purest evolution of the air-cooled 911, and this example has all the right ingredients. Finished in Guards Red (L80K) over a classic black leather interior (LT), it was specified without a sunroof – giving it a cleaner roofline and lighter configuration sought after by enthusiasts.
At its heart lies the robust M64/05 3.6-liter flat-six, producing 272 hp and 330 Nm of torque. Crucially, this early 993 is fitted with the desirable G50/21 short-ratio 6-speed gearbox, enhancing acceleration and driver involvement. Complementing this is the desirable M159 Motor Sound Package, which sharpens the exhaust note and makes every drive a more visceral experience.
Delivered new in Germany (C00), this Carrera has had just two private owners throughout its life. Its provenance is impeccable, supported by a fully stamped service book and complete documentation file, confirming careful, consistent maintenance. Factory options include:
- L80K – Guards Red
- LT – Black leather interior
- C00 – German delivery
- 334 – Power seat, left
- 573 – Air conditioning
- (Retrofit) 159 – Motor Sound Package
Thanks to Porsche’s advanced multi-link rear suspension, the 993 Carrera combines classic 911 character with a more composed, modern driving feel. Performance remains strong by today’s standards: 0-100 km/h in just over 5 seconds, and a top speed of 270 km/h.
This example represents an ideal blend of collectibility and usability: rare options, flawless history, and a specification that appeals both to purists and long-term collectors. A truly special air-cooled 911, ready for its next owner!
