Porsche 993 Carrera

Het voertuig in detail

The Porsche 993 represents a milestone chapter in the history of the German automaker, being the last generation of the legendary air-cooled Porsche 911, produced between 1994 and 1998. Considered by many enthusiasts to be the perfect balance of tradition and innovation, the 993 combines the classic 911 design with major technical and performance improvements. Designed by Tony Hatter, it is distinguished by smoother, more modern lines than previous versions, while keeping the 911’s iconic proportions intact. Aesthetic changes include more angled front headlights, integrated bumpers and a redesigned rear hood to optimize aerodynamics.

Under the hood, the Porsche 993 mounts a 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, celebrated for its power and reliability. Performance varies according to version, which includes the Carrera, the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the twin-turbocharged Turbo, and the ultra-sporty RS, designed for a pure driving experience thanks to its low weight and 300 hp output. For extreme high-performance enthusiasts, the GT2 offers an upgraded engine and a road-legal racing configuration. The 993 Turbo, with its 408 hp (or up to 450 hp in more powerful versions), was the first 911 Turbo to be equipped with an all-wheel drive system.
