Porsche 993 Turbo

Il veicolo in dettaglio

While the 993 would become the swan song to air-cooled technology, one trim level in-particular would usher in a completely new era of power and performance to the 911 line—the 993 Turbo. For the first time since its inception in 1975, the Turbo would now feature a sequential, twin-turbo setup to offset the lag of its 930—“Widow-Maker”—predecessor. And, for further taming purposes, an all-wheel drive system was implemented to keep all-four wheels firmly planted. With its new daily-drivable personality, the 993 Turbo quickly became one of the most sought after grand-touring cars of its era and still remains so today.

Photographed here, our 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo (993) has gone less than 13k miles since being delivered new on August 5, 1997 in Long Island City, New York. Finished in a rather rare color-way of Black Metallic over a Classic Grey leather interior, this particular example has been very well kept throughout its life and has benefitted from more than $25k worth of service work over the past four years. Additionally, it is worth noting that 1997 model year Turbos were equipped with stronger transmission input shafts and a more malleable ECU system—making ’97 models more sought after than its ’96 predecessor.
