1995 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo

** PLEASE NOTE ** This car has done 77,000 kilometres and NOT 77,000 miles

The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant while continuing the general developments and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling all-wheel drive system—something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the usability of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with down turned edges—resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six fed by twin K16 turbos. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph breezed by in 5.7 seconds, and the forward thrust continued until the speedometer had crossed 180mph and the horizon was considerably closer than it had been.

A letter from Porsche cars GB, confirms that the production date of this Turbo was 7th July 1995 and the model year of the vehicle is 1996. This car has spent most of its time in Japan, where we are informed it was rigorously serviced and there is paperwork on file detailing the work carried out whilst in that country. In 2015, our vendor bought the car back to the UK where he has since fitted a set of brand new tyres, had a Porsche Centre '111 point check' carried out and attended to cracked stone guards on the rear wheel arches. They were replaced with OEM parts and finished in the body shop of Porsche Portsmouth who carried out all the work that was recommended by the report. Our vendor has invoices on file which confirm he has spent circa 10,000 euros on this car under his ownership, and to complete the process, he has UK registered the vehicle and it's therefore now ready to return to the European roads from whence it once came.

A UK MOT valid until January 17", 77,000 kilometres showing on the odometer along with being sensibly guided what a great opportunity to acquire a car that is still considered blisteringly fast some two decades after its production ceased.
