1997 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 4S for sale!

Early in 1990, Tony Hatter was enlisted the task of leading the design of the 993 and to modernize the shape of the 911, as both engineers and stylists within the company felt that the 964 too closely resembled the early 911s and a change was long overdue. At this time, the revolutionary 959 had already reached iconic status and the 989 four-door concept had been in the works, so he and his team were able to draw inspiration from those to incorporate into the design language of the 993. Tony’s design incorporated front and rear fenders which were both wider and flatter with swept-back headlights, all of which made for a modern, sleek, and organic shape that made the 964 appear angular in comparison.

The vehicle in detail

It was the most substantial redesign of the 911 since its inception and improved on virtually every system throughout the car. The 993 generation carried only 20% of shared parts with its predecessors and was the first 911 to feature a 6-speed gearbox. Handling was vastly improved thanks in part to the new all-alloy multi-link suspension and light alloy subframe, and road noise was vastly reduced with the new suspension system. Additionally, the car’s ergonomics, braking, and air conditioning were improved and a completely redesigned engine meant that the 993 was one of the most civilized and capable 911s to date.

Porsche began producing the coupe models in a turbo-look wide-body form. First was the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4S produced between 1996 and 1998 with a total production of approximately 7,000 units. These models employed the Turbo’s wide body shell with its massive fenders along and many of the Turbo’s accoutrements, but with the 285 horsepower, 3.6-liter Variocam, M64 twin-plug engine residing in place of the twin-turbocharged version and available only with a 6-speed manual transmission. Lower suspension, a solid-spoked version of the striking 18×8 and 10-inch Turbo Twist wheels, and red four-piston calipers with 322mm discs front and rear added to the aggressive appearance of the S models.

This four-owner example has been well cared for by each of its owners and presents in excellent condition inside and out. Included with the car is a binder containing invoices and documentation of its maintenance as it has been performed over the years.
