First registered on 01/10/1996, this Porsche 993 Carrera 2 represents one of the most desirable final evolutions of the air-cooled era, powered by the 3.6-liter Varioram engine, known for its improved torque delivery and refined drivability.
The car was originally delivered in Speed Yellow, a color that has become truly emblematic of 1990s Porsche design. The paintwork today still shows excellent gloss and a very nice overall presentation. While the car has been largely repainted in the past, it is accident-free, with correct and consistent paint thickness readings. A full paint measurement report can be provided.
The interior is finished in black leather, offering a timeless and sporty contrast to the exterior. The car is fitted with the Tiptronic S gearbox, including steering wheel-mounted controls.
Once overlooked, the Tiptronic is now increasingly appreciated for relaxed touring, ease of use, and its suitability for modern driving conditions especially in a high-quality, low-mileage example like this.
