The 993 is the last of the air-cooled 911s, and is widely believed to be the best generation of 911. It was redesigned from the ground up, only borrowing 20% of its parts from the previous generation. Significant technical advances, including a new light-alloy subframe with a coil and wishbone suspension, an all new engine and newly standard 6 speed transmission, made significant progress in creating a more civilized car and a greatly improved driving experience. Designed by Tony Hatter, the 993 retained the classic 911 shape but featured updated exterior panels, significantly flared wheel arches, and a smoother front and rear bumper design. The aggressive stance of the wide-style body accommodated the new multi-link rear suspension which gave the car better stability. Newly improved handling made the car more planted and helped to reduce oversteer in cornering as well as improving ride quality and reducing interior noise. The acclaimed rear design sacrificed top speeds for better handling making it the perfect weekend partner to tackle the narrow, winding English country roads. Simply put, the new design and technical improvements meant the 993 generation Porsche hit the sweet spot between usability and fun. The 993 turbo was the pinnacle of the range. It featured a new twin-turbocharged engine which brought the output up to 402 bhp with the help of air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, and redesigned cylinder heads. The 993 Turbo was also the first to feature all wheel drive which was accommodated by wheel arches that were widened by approximately 6cm over the standard 993’s already enlarged arches. Most notably, the rear featured a fixed rear wing which housed the intercoolers. The Turbo also featured larger brakes, new 18” alloy wheels, and was one of the first production cars in the world to feature the OBDII diagnostics system. This particular example is a UK C16 model, built in May 1996, delivered new by Issac Agnew Porsche in August 1996, and has covered only 33,639 miles. Factory spec and optional features include: The vehicle has incredible provenance for a car that’s covered so few miles. It comes with its full book pack, original service book (19 service stamps), Factory bonnet sticker, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a huge history file of invoices and MOTs. The service history is as follows: The bodywork presents in immaculate condition, with perfect shut lines and the paint depths are all consistent with factory readings. The glass, lights, trim and badges are faultless. The interior is equally as immaculate, with only the most minor ware to the outer bolster on the drivers seat. The underside has been ice blasted and protected, and quite frankly looks like new! The front tyres (Porsche rated) are from 2021, and the rears (Porsche rated) from 2023.
