Footnotes

"Even in these uncertain times, one thing's for sure: an air-cooled Porsche 911 will always be desirable. The last of them was the '993' launched in 1993. It was replaced in 1998 by the 996, the first of the current generation of liquid-cooled 911s. The fact that this new model wasn't universally well received only served to boost the 993's appeal." – Autocar magazine.

An important landmark in the Porsche 911's continuing development arrived for 1994 with the introduction of the Type 993, destined to be the last to use the air-cooled engine that had been a distinguishing feature of the 911 since its introduction 30 years previously. The Type 993 is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form; the Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest 3.6-litre version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine.

Along with the sleeker bodywork came new multi-link rear suspension that improved both ride quality and roadholding, reducing the 911's characteristic lift-off oversteer. The 3.6-litre engine not only produced more power than before but made it available over a wider rev range thanks to 'Variocam' variable valve timing and variable-length air intakes. Introduced in 1995, the Type 993 Turbo was the first Porsche production model to feature a twin-turbo-charged engine and the first 911 Turbo to incorporate permanent four-wheel drive. With 300kW (402bhp) on tap, the Type 993 Turbo offered a level of performance approaching that of the Porsche 959 supercar, racing to 100km/h in around 4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 290km/h.

This manual transmission Porsche 911 Turbo is attractively finished in all-black livery and currently displays a total of circa 64,000 kilometres (approximately 39,800 miles) on the odometer.

There are sadly no documents with this Lot, and it will require recommissioning prior to road use.
