History of the 993 turbos 1996-1997
The 993 Turbo Coupe was released in 1995 worldwide with the
exception of the United States. The production run for the United
States was from 1996 through 1997. It featured a new turbocharged
engine displacing 3.6 liters producing 402 horsepower. Twin
turbochargers and air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine
management, redesigned cylinder heads, and other modified engine
internals were used. The 993 Turbo was the first Porsche Turbo with
an all-wheel drive. The electronic engine management helped the
Turbo to achieve fuel efficiency far superior to any of the
previous production Turbos. In connection with two catalytic
converters and an on-board-diagnostics-system including four
oxygen-sensors, it also made the 993 Turbo the cleanest sports car
at its time. The Turbo's bodywork differs from the Carrera body by
widened rear wheel arches (approximately 6 cm), redesigned front
and rear bumper moldings, and a fixed rear wing housing the
intercoolers. New 18-inch (460 mm) alloy wheels with
weight-reducing hollow spokes were standard.
