Introduced to the automotive world in 1995, the Porsche 993 Turbo
quickly became an immediate classic. With an air-cooled 402
horsepower twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, sending power through
its 959-derived all-wheel drivetrain, these cars quickly became
known for their astonishing real-world performance. With the
ability to outperform sports cars double the price, the 993 Turbo
was an ultimate tour-de-force of performance, technology, and
comfort.
This spectacular 1997-year model 993 Turbo was manufactured at
Porsche's Stuttgart factory in October 1996, in the stunning color
combination of Arctic Silver metallic paint over a Classic Grey
Leather interior. Delivered to its original Californian owner the
following month on November 27, 1996, it was ordered with the
additional options of an electric sunroof, automatic speed control,
and Becker Porsche CD-radio.
After more than six years and 5,565 miles, the Turbo found a new
caretaker on March 28, 2003, who over the next thirteen years
maintained the car in pristine condition, adding an additional
10,750 miles. During the past four years the Turbo's most recent
owner has entrusted maintenance to McKenna Porsche in Norwalk,
California. With just 196 miles added during this time, the 993
currently shows a total of 16,559 on the odometer. In anticipation
of sale, a major service was completed on April 29, 2021, by
Porsche of Newport Beach, California at a cost of $8,215.40.
Upon arriving at Canepa, the 993 Turbo was meticulously inspected,
and treated to the "Canepa Difference" process, ensuring that this
iconic Porsche is ready for presentation on any Porsche Club of
America, or Concours d'Elegance show lawn. The Arctic Silver
paintwork was polished with foam pads to a beautiful sheen that
rivals the day it was delivered new, and the interior has been
treated to the finest products and cleansing techniques, ensuring
all materials show close to new. The underside of the car has
received the same conscientious attention to detail, with every
surface and component cleaned and prepared for concours show level
presentation.
To be sold inclusive of a comprehensive inspection, and
complimentary pre-delivery Service including the installation of a
new set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires by the team of
experienced Porsche technicians at Canepa, this 1997 Porsche 911
Turbo will bring endless enjoyment to its new caretaker. With its
sophisticated twin-turbocharged power plant paired to the advanced
all-wheel-drive system, this last iteration of the air-cooled 911
turbos will never cease to provide driven investment nirvana.
