Porsche 993 Carrera

The vehicle in detail

This 1996 Carrera Cabriolet is a handsome example of the coveted 993-generation 911, the final air-cooled 911 model and a high-water mark for Porsche’s iconic sports car lineage. Several updates were introduced for the 1996 model year 993, including Porsche’s now-famous Varioram induction system, which varies the effective length of the intake manifold, optimizing engine performance at both low and high rpms.

Completed in March 1996, the Carrera Cabriolet offered here was sold new in Ohio and came well equipped with features that included the Motor Sound Package, a limited-slip differential, the Advanced Technic Package, and heated front seats. Finished in black with a matching black soft top, this Carrera was optioned with a rare and sought-after, special-order Flamenco Red interior and equipped with a manual gearbox.

By 2006, this 911 resided in Arizona, and in 2022 it received maintenance work by respected Porsche workshop Patrick Motorsports of Phoenix, which included new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

This 993 is accompanied at auction by manuals, a jack, and a tire compressor. Specified with a rare and striking color combination and generously optioned with desirable features, this Carrera Cabriolet is sure to intrigue discerning enthusiasts of unique modern Porsches.
