The 993 Turbo represents the ultimate evolution of the air-cooled Turbo, combining timeless design with high performance. This particular example stands apart thanks to its X50 factory power kit, a rare option fitted to only 183 cars worldwide. The X50 package increased output from 408 hp to 430 hp, achieved through upgraded engine management, and improved cooling (front-mounted oil cooler). Torque rises to approximately 585 Nm, delivering explosive performance.
Power is sent through a 6-speed manual gearbox to all four wheels, resulting in a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.0 seconds and a top speed close to 300 km/h. Even by modern standards, the performance is impressive, delivered with the unique character of an air-cooled Mezger engine.
Finished in Uni Black over extended Black leather, the car has a muscular yet understated presence. The factory sport seats (373/374) provide excellent support and are highly sought after on the 993 Turbo. With matching numbers, colours, and options, and having been extensively serviced, this example is mechanically sorted and ready for immediate enjoyment.
