Porsche 911 / 993 993 2S '97 1997
General description :
Lowered price from €72.500 - €66.500 The 911 was again revised in 1993 under the internal name Type 993. This car was significant as it was the final incarnation of the air-cooled 911, introduced in 1964. The exterior featured an all new front and rear end. The revised bodywork was smoother, having a noticeably more aerodynamic front end somewhat reminiscent of the 959. Styling was by Englishman Tony Hatter under the supervision of design chief Harm Lagaay. Along with the revised bodywork, mechanically the 993 also featured an all-new multilink rear suspension that improved the car's ride and handling. This rear suspension was largely derived from the stillborn Porsche 989's rear multilink design, and served to rectify the problems with earlier models' tendency to oversteer if the throttle or brakes were applied mid-corner. These modifications also reduced previous 911's lift-off oversteer problems to a much more moderate degree. The new suspension, along with chassis refinements, enabled the car to keep up dynamically with the competition. Engine capacity remained at 3.6 L, but power rose to 272 PS (200 kW) thanks to better engine management and exhaust design, and beginning with model year 1996 to 286 PS (210 kW). The 993 was the first Porsche to debut variable-length intake runners with the "Varioram" system on 1996 models. This addressed the inherent compromise between high-RPM power production and low-RPM torque production, and was one of the first of its kind to be employed on production vehicles. A new four-wheel-drive made a return as an option in the form of the Carrera 4, the RWD versions simply being called Carrera. A lightweight RS version saw capacity rise to 3.8 L, with power reaching 300 PS (221 kW). The RS version had rear-wheel drive only. Non-turbo models appeared that used the Turbo's wide bodyshell and some other components (the Carrera 4S and later the Carrera S). The rare Targa open-topped model also made a return, this time with a large glass roof that slid under the rear window. The expensive air-cooled 993 Targa had a limited release between 1996–1998. Bodywork: length/width/height/wheelbase – cm (in) : 426/174/132/227 (167.7/68.3/51.8/89.4); weight : 1390 kg (3068 lb). Engine. Rear-mounted transverse flat-six 3600 cc (220 ci), air-cooled, 12 valves, injection, six-speed manual, RWD. Maximum power : 285 bhp @ 6100 rpm; torque : 336 Nm @ 5250 rpm. Top speed : 260 km/h (162 mph)

About Porsche 911 / 993
The Porsche 993 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 models produced between 1994 and 1998. It was the successor to the Porsche 964 and was the last of the air-cooled 911s.One of the most significant changes in the 993 was the introduction of a redesigned body that featured smoother curves and a more aerodynamic shape. The 993 was also the first Porsche 911 to feature an all-aluminum subframe and a multilink rear suspension, which helped to improve handling and ride quality.
The 993 was powered by a range of engines, including a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six and a 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six. The top-of-the-line 993 Turbo S was capable of producing 450 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful production cars of its time.
Today, the Porsche 993 is considered a classic sports car and is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Its combination of classic styling, modern features, and high performance capabilities make it a true icon of the Porsche brand.
As a hobbyist car, the Porsche 993 is popular among collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy working on and restoring classic cars. While the 993 is more complex than some of the earlier air-cooled Porsches, it still offers a relatively simple design and mechanics compared to modern cars. This makes it a good choice for those who are interested in learning about automotive restoration and maintenance.
Overall, the Porsche 993 is an important part of Porsche's history and remains a beloved car among automotive enthusiasts around the world. Its classic design, advanced features, and high performance capabilities make it a true masterpiece of automotive engineering.
