The Porsche 993 Carrera S represents the pinnacle of the air-cooled 911 era, combining classic Porsche engineering with refined styling and a wider, more aggressive stance. Produced for just two years, the Carrera S (C2S) is among the rarest and most sought-after variants of the 993 generation, offering the sleek lines of the naturally aspirated 911 with the wide “Turbo-look” body typically reserved for the 911 Turbo.
This 1997 example is finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic over a striking blue leather interior, an elegant and rarely seen specification that sets it apart from more common color combinations. With 145,000 kilometers from new, this car has been meticulously maintained and retains its matching-numbers 3.6-litre flat-six engine. The engine produces 285 horsepower, delivering an authentic Porsche experience, while the Tiptronic transmission offers a smooth yet engaging drive, making this car equally suited for spirited weekend outings or relaxed touring.
The Carrera S offers a driving experience that is both analog and sophisticated. The wide rear track, hydraulic steering, and perfectly balanced chassis deliver exceptional feedback, making it a favorite among enthusiasts. This car rides on its original 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels, completing its iconic 1990s silhouette.
Originally delivered new in Belgium, this Carrera S has been carefully preserved with a fully documented service history, confirming its consistent maintenance and care throughout its life. The paintwork remains in excellent condition, and the interior shows only light, even patina, reflecting its careful ownership. Recent major servicing ensures this Porsche is ready to drive and enjoy immediately.
As the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993 generation has cemented its place as a true modern classic, and the Carrera S variant stands at the top of the range for collectors seeking rarity and drivability without the added complexity of the Turbo model. With its striking specification, originality, and meticulous upkeep, this 993 Carrera S represents an exceptional opportunity for any discerning Porsche enthusiast or collector.
