The 993 version 911 represents the last of an era and the pinnacle of Porsches much loved air-cooled 911.
Unlike the 964 that preceded it, the 993 received a huge leap in technology and a substantial evolution of its trademark looks.
It was universally acclaimed as being one of the most beautiful 911's ever penned with its stunning curves.
In its final form the normally aspirated 993 engine produced 285HP and now had Varioram technology which gave it a noticeable surge above 4,000 rpm. This was mated to Porsches new LSA ( Light Stable & Agile ) chassis which now featured Porsches 'Weisach' multi-link rear suspension system, essentially a mechanical pre-cursor to today's rear-wheel steering. Overall it created a quicker, safer 911 with reduced road noise.
The viscous coupling infinitely adjustable 4wd system of the 993 was far less complex than that found in the 964 and was in the region of 50kg lighter. Porsche said you could not tell it was a 4WD car and often challenged customers to tell the difference at vehicle launches by covering up the badges. People were amazed, it handled just like a 2WD car until things became a little slippery and then just enhanced the grip as requried.
That brings us to the car we have here, it is a Carrera 4S, in fact the 993 was the 1st 911 to wear the '4S' moniker; the 'S' for something special ie the 'Turbo' look chassis with Turbo brakes and suspension and the 4 for 4WD.
This 911 was first delivered by Porsche Centre Melbourne in October 1997 and is one of just 61 '4S' cars delivered in Australia. This was significantly less than the number of 993 Carrera S delivered and less than half the number of 993 Turbos delivered, so it is an exceptionally rare 911.
It is finished in ocen Blue Metallic with a beautiful blue interior. Notable factory options include:
- soft ruffled look leather
- silver instrument gauges
- aluminium / carbon gear & hand brake lever
- Cruise control
- Electric sunroof
It has travelled a very low 70,000 klms and is in beautiful original condition.
Of note, it now has a Porsche Classic radio with Bluetooth and navigation.
It comes with all its original books, 2 x keys and a full Pre-Sales Inspection.
So if this is what you have been looking for get in touch quickly. This is one of the 'good' ones.
