Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 4S – Arena Red Metallic – 08/1996 – 109,500 km
This Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 4S is an exceptionally fine and correctly preserved example of one of the most desirable air-cooled 911 variants ever produced.Finished in the iconic Arena Red Metallic (L84S) and paired with a full black leather interior, including dashboard and door panels, this car perfectly embodies what the 993 stands for: timeless elegance, technical sophistication and pure Porsche character.
This is a French-market car (C05), first registered in 08/1996, showing 109,500 km and having had only three owners, the last of whom owned the car since 2001 (over 25 years).The history is 100% complete, coherent and fully documented, and the car has been exclusively maintained by official Porsche Centres throughout its life.
Why the 993 Carrera 4S is so special
The 993 generation represents the final chapter of the air-cooled era and is widely regarded by enthusiasts and collectors as one of the most beautiful and best-balanced 911s ever built.
Within that generation, the Carrera 4S occupies a truly unique position. It combines:
- the wide Turbo bodywork,
- with the suspension, braking system and all-wheel-drive drivetrain of the 993 Turbo,
- while retaining the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six engine.
The result is an exceptionally harmonious 911:visually striking, technically sophisticated, yet pure and dependable.No turbochargers, no artificial complexity, just mechanical honesty and a truly engaging driving experience.
Colour & interior
Arena Red Metallic is an iconic colour for the 993. It is no coincidence that the 993 Turbo was launched in this very shade.On the wide Turbo body of the Carrera 4S, this colour looks particularly elegant: deep, warm and refined, without being overstated.
The interior is finished in full black leather, including the dashboard and door panels, a highly desirable and well-balanced configuration that perfectly suits the character of the car.
