Model History
The 993 Turbo was released in 1995 and it featured a new 3600cc turbocharged engine that producing a mighty 402hp. 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 all wheel drive that helped propel it to 60mph in a mere 3.9 seconds. The electronic engine management helped the Turbo to achieve fuel efficiency far superior to any of the previous production Turbos.
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 alloy wheels with weight-reducing hollow spokes were standard.

Furthermore this Turbo was specified with the X79 factory option giving it side air vents on the rear wings for the desirable Turbo S look.
Interior
The interior space is upholstered with soft black leather, extending to the dashboard and door panels. Both front seats are heated with 8-way electrical operation for maximum comfort control. Having covered a mere 18k miles since 1996 the interior remains in tremendous condition as to be expected, with no wear to the seat bolsters, bases, or carpets throughout. All the switchgear retains a fresh texture and operates exactly as it should. Under the bonnet the options sticker still remains, with all tools still present beneath the front carpet.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine compartment and underside are notably clean, leaving no doubt that this example has been very well maintained and stored throughout its life. The flat-six Turbo provides a huge rush of acceleration, completing the 0-60 dash in a mere 3.9 seconds.
