The Porsche 911 Carrera S occupies a unique position within the air-cooled Porsche hierarchy.
Introduced for the final years of 993 production, it combined the wide rear bodywork of the 911 Turbo with the naturally aspirated Varioram engine and rear-wheel drive, creating what many enthusiasts consider the purest expression of the wide-body 993 concept.
Unlike the Carrera 4S, which shared its body with the Turbo but featured four-wheel drive, the Carrera S retained the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, resulting in a lighter, more agile and more engaging driving experience. Combined with the six-speed manual transmission, it remains one of the most sought-after air-cooled 911s among collectors today.
This particular example was first registered on 12 February 1998 and delivered new in Germany (option code C00).
Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (L92U) over Midnight Blue Ruffled Leather, it presents a particularly elegant and timeless specification that perfectly suits the understated character of the 993 Carrera S.
Having covered only 95,000 km from new and owned by just four custodians throughout its lifetime, the car benefits from an exceptionally complete history file and extensive documentation.
The vehicle retains its original engine and original six-speed manual gearbox, fully matching factory specifications.

The 993 Carrera S
The Carrera S was produced in significantly lower numbers than the standard Carrera and today ranks among the most desirable variants of the final air-cooled Porsche 911 generation.
Its appeal lies in a unique combination of characteristics:
- Wide-body Turbo appearance
- Naturally aspirated 3.6-litre Varioram engine
- Rear-wheel drive
- Six-speed manual gearbox
- Air-cooled engineering
- Limited production
As values of exceptional air-cooled Porsche models continue to strengthen, collectors increasingly focus on original, well-documented examples with matching numbers, attractive specifications and sensible mileage.
This particular car combines all of those qualities with recent Porsche Classic investment, extensive documentation and a timeless colour combination.
