1996 | Porsche 911 Carrera

The iconic Porsche 993 was introduced in 1994 as a replacement for the outgoing 964 model and was produced up until 1998. Regarded by many as the finest generation of 911, the 993 was the last to use the air cooled flat six engine. Available in three body styles; Coupe, Convertible and Targa with its sliding glass roof. The new car was the most sweepingly changed 911 ever. Gone were the nearly upright headlights that had accompanied the 911 for over thirty years. They were replaced with 959-like items in favour of better aerodynamics. The new style bumper and front wings gave the 993 a fresh look, without losing the identity of the 911. The 993 wore newly designed 16-inch wheels, wider rear arches and twin exhausts positioned on both the left and right of the rear bumper. Beneath the front bumper were ‘air-relief’ vents, to help air escape from the wheel wells and the chassis revisions were just as extensive. The 3.6-litre engine was modified to give 270 bhp which was coupled to Porsche’s new four-speed Tiptronic gearbox, giving the 993 a 0-60 mph of sub 7 secs and a top speed of 168 mph where permitted.
