SUMMARY
A truly amazing right-hand drive 993 Turbo with only 745 miles from new
DESCRIPTION
- A truly amazing 'C25' (Thailand) right-hand drive 993 Turbo in 'Special Wish Flat' with a 'Special Wish Interior' in triple-yellow
- Only 745 miles from new (1,200 km) with service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondence
- The Turbo combined bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance
- When launched, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet
- Having formed part of an amazing private Porsche collection we welcome any inspection of this amazing 911 Turbo
The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general development 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 driveability of the Turbo. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six force-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 whistled by in a further 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.
This is a truly amazing 'C25' (Thailand delivered), right-hand-drive, 993 Turbo that's only done 1,200 km from new. Perhaps an unrepeatable example with that mileage anyway, the car is also finished in triple yellow! Accompanying the Turbo is its original service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondence, which includes communication with the Porsche Club as to the ordered specification when new. The communications confirm the paint is described as 'Special Wish Flat' with a 'special wish interior'.
This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.
We welcome any inspection of this simply amazing 993 Turbo.
