The vehicle in detail

Delivered new in Germany (C00), this Porsche 993 Carrera 2 was originally supplied to Porsche AG.

The car remained in long-term ownership with its second private owner for many years, clearly reflecting careful use and consistent maintenance, before being sold in 2023 by Porsche Zentrum Böblingen at 79,500 km. Today, the odometer reads just 86,900 km.

As a 1997 model year, this is one of the last air-cooled 911s, featuring the sought-after Varioram 3.6L flat-six engine, delivering improved torque and responsiveness compared to earlier 993 models.

Combined with the 6-speed manual gearbox, it offers a pure, mechanical driving experience that defines the essence of the classic 911.

The specification is both elegant and increasingly rare. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (X1) a noticeably more refined and subtle shade compared to the more common Polar Silver and paired with a black partial leather interior (LT), this car has a timeless and understated presence.

  • X1 – Arctic Silver Metallic
  • LT – Black partial leather interior

In addition, the car has been fitted with a number of carefully selected upgrades to enhance the driving experience:

  • KW suspension – improving handling, precision and comfort

Driving Experience
This 993 delivers exactly what makes air-cooled 911s so special:lightweight feel, direct steering, mechanical feedback and an unmistakable flat-six sound.
