The vehicle in detail

On its introduction in 1975, the first Porsche 911 Turbo reset the performance car benchmark. One of the first production cars utilising turbocharging to increase performance, early 911 Turbos quickly gained a reputation for delivering a thoroughly exhilarating driving experience with a wild and uncompromising edge, and required true concentration and skill when driven to the limit. Having amassed its reputation over several generations, the 911 Turbo is widely lauded as one of the all-time great driver’s cars.

Introduced in late-1993, the 993-generation 911 was no exception to the model’s stellar standing, and is forever immortalised as the final 911 to be powered by the model’s defining air-cooled engine; something that was seen as a must by Porsche enthusiasts of the time. Not only that, it would also prove to be the last of the hand-built 911s.
Potential buyers of the 993-era Turbo were left waiting until 1995 when the new Turbo was unveiled, and deliveries commenced with 1996 model year cars. The new model added a secondary turbocharger and all-wheel drive, with the aim of smoothing its predecessor’s peaky power delivery and providing surefooted power transfer to the road.

The new car produced an impressive 408 horsepower, a figure that—when allied to the new all-wheel-drive system—was capable of propelling it to 100 km/h in a mere 4.5 seconds, where it would continue accelerating until it hit a 290 km/h top speed—figures that are still impressive, even by modern standards.

Visually, the car is identified by the model’s now-iconic wider bodywork with one of the obvious visual distinctions being the rear’s imposing presence created not only by the wings that were widened by approximately 32 millimetres, but also by the inclusion of the legendary “tea tray” rear spoiler with wrap-around design and upturned edges. At the front of the car, the suspension was lowered and featured improved aerodynamics thanks to the addition of three large air intakes that helped to efficiently channel and smooth the air.

Originally delivered to Switzerland, this Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé is finished in Black Metallic, over a luxurious tan leather interior. It was factory-equipped with heated front seats, a 92-litre fuel tank, a top-tinted windscreen, sunroof, Porsche CR 21 cassette radio, sound package, Litronic headlights, a remote-controlled immobiliser, and white fog lights. It is accompanied by owner’s manuals with stamped service history booklet, its Porsche build sheet, a spare wheel, and toolkit.

Boasting an attractive exterior hue and a well-furnished interior, this example presents a fine opportunity for a driver or collector looking to experience the ultimate and final iteration of the iconic air-cooled hand-built Porsche 911 Turbo.
