timeless appearance. The 993 in all its configurations was the
fourth-generation Porsche 911, and sold in North America for model
years 1995-98. Design sketches for the 993 were first started in
1989, the year the 964-generation 911 Carrera 4 was launched. The
exterior styling design responsibilities were given to Tony Hatter,
and his objective was to revise the shape and flow of the 911 body
that he (and others) felt had become to some extent a little
ponderous with the 964. The result was a well-balanced layout that
became popular right away. The 993 initially launched with two
models: the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and all-wheel-drive Carrera 4
in both coupe and cabriolet body styles. The M64/01 3.6-liter 964
engine layout was retained but refined. The crankshaft vibration
dampener was eliminated in the 993. Hydraulic valve lifters were
utilized for the first time in a 911 engine, valve weight was
reduced, plus the 993 exhaust system was completely redesigned.
When the 993's M64/05 engine went into production it was rated at
272 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 243 pound-feet of torque at 5,000
rpm. Also, Porsche changed the G50 manual transmission and added a
sixth gear; this gave the normally aspirated (NA) 993 a top speed
of 168 miles per hour. A four-speed Tiptronic automatic
transmission was also available. MacPherson strut suspension was
retained up front, yet at the rear the semi-trailing arms setup
that 911s had used since the beginning was replaced by a more
sophisticated multilink suspension. Production 993 models first
became available in Europe in April 1994 as a 1994 model year (MY)
car, while the 993 was released in the US in September 1994 as a
1995 MY car. The 993 Carrera 4's all-wheel drive system was also
much different from the 964's. Instead of a mechanical system that
was heavy and expensive to fix, the 993 used a simpler viscous
fluid coupling to transmit power to all four wheels. When the front
wheels started to slip, the fluid in the coupling would thicken and
send up to 40% of power to the front. The new AWD system was also
notable in its function to improve handling rather than to merely
provide more grip. Metallic Paint, Pearlescent Metallic Paint, Rear
