History of the 993 turbos 1996-1997
The 993 Turbo Coupe was released in 1995 worldwide with the exception of the United States. The production run for the United States was from 1996 through 1997. It featured a new turbocharged engine displacing 3.6 liters producing 402 horsepower. Twin turbochargers and air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, redesigned cylinder heads, and other modified engine internals were used. The 993 Turbo was the first Porsche Turbo with an all-wheel drive. The electronic engine management helped the Turbo to achieve fuel efficiency far superior to any of the previous production Turbos. In connection with two catalytic converters and an on-board-diagnostics-system including four oxygen-sensors, it also made the 993 Turbo the cleanest sports car at its time. The Turbo’s bodywork differs from the Carrera body by widened rear wheel arches (approximately 6 cm), redesigned front and rear bumper moldings, and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers. New 18-inch (460 mm) alloy wheels with weight-reducing hollow spokes were standard.
