Model history
Third generation of the legendary Porsche 911, codenamed 993, is also the last one powered by air-cooled engines. The 993 went on sale in 1993. Basic design principles had remained unchanged, but compared to the previous 964 generation; the new model had been thoroughly updated. Tony Halter-designed body had been redesigned, which also improved its aerodynamic properties. The 993-gen 911 range was massive and catered for needs of all types of customers. For instance, the car could be specified with four-wheel drive or an automatic Tiptronic gearbox. Like all 911s, the 993 was traditionally powered by horizontally-opposed engines, least powerful of which displaced 3,6 litres and developed 272 BHP. From 1996, engines were fitted with Varioram induction system, which resulted in a slight power increase to 285 BHP. Targa version was based on the normally aspirated model and was fitted with a glass roof for the first time.
On the other end of the range, one could find 4-wheel drive Turbo developing 408 BHP, Turbo S (450 BHP for model year 1996) and rear wheel-drive GT2 (436 BHP) versions. For the first time in 911’s history, these forced-induction varieties were equipped with not just one, but two turbochargers. Many customization features were available as optional extras and could be found in the Porsche catalogue.
Till 1998, 68 000 examples of 993-gen 911 in various guises had been produced. Its successor, the 996, had a water-cooled engine and much less traditional styling, which was heavily criticised by the experts and enthusiasts of the brand. According to purists, 993 is the last true 911, which makes it extremely desirable.
