Vehicle Description
With only two owners and just seven thousand miles from new, this
1997 Twin Turbo is as nice as you will see. Porsche produced
approximately 1,500 of the Typ 993 Turbos for the US market, making
it nowhere near as rare as its bigger brother, the Turbo S.
However, the additional 20 BHP (approximately) of the Turbo S is
hardly worth it to most owners, and it's always fun to buy a nearly
new 911 twenty years plus after it left Stuttgart.
The 993 Turbo was a flagship 911 for Porsche when it was introduced
in 1995. This introduced a new twin-turbo 3.6-liter displacement
air-cooled opposed-six delivering 402 horsepower, by means of
Redesigned cylinder heads, air-to-air intercoolers, and new
electronic management system. This was Porsche's first all-wheel
drive turbo following the limited-production Typ 959 a decade
earlier. Important to note the '97 and '98 models received stronger
transmission shafts due to the power and AWD platform. Fuel
efficiency was superior to its predecessors and one of the first
production cars in the world with second-generation
On-Board-Diagnostic sensors (OBDII), making the 993 Turbo the
cleanest sports of its time.
Aesthetics differ from the Carrera with widened wheel arches,
redesigned bumpers, the famed whale tail, and new 18-inch alloy
wheels. All of this fell within Porsche designer Tony Hatter's
vision and it delivered significant advancements over its Typ 964
predecessor. The 993 is technically and visually one of Porsche's
most beloved 911s, making huge technological advancements towards a
more comfortable and better driving experience.
This TT ending in 376005 is everything you would expect it to be.
It has been well cared for over its 22 years and essentially is
just as it left the factory.
