The Last Air-Cooled 911 The Porsche 993 (1994-1998) was the last 911 to feature an air-cooled engine, making it highly sought after by Porsche purists.

Introduced the Multi-Link Rear Suspension The 993 was the first 911 to use a multi-link rear suspension (Weissach axle), improving stability, handling, and ride comfort compared to previous models.

More Aerodynamic and Modern Design The 993 had a sleeker, more refined design than the 964, featuring integrated bumpers, wider fenders, and smoother headlights, improving aerodynamics and aesthetics.

Powered by an Air-Cooled Flat-Six Engine The standard 993 Carrera featured a 3.6L naturally aspirated flat-six, producing 272 hp in early models and 282 hp in later Varioram-equipped models.

Available in Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive The Carrera 2 (C2) was rear-wheel drive, while the Carrera 4 (C4) featured an advanced AWD system, offering improved grip in various conditions.

The First 911 with a Six-Speed Manual Transmission The 993 was the first 911 to come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, providing better gear ratios and a more engaging driving experience.

Introduced the Varioram Intake System From 1996 onward, the 993 Carrera received Varioram, a system that adjusted the intake manifold length to improve low-end torque and high-end power.

Offered as a Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa The 993 Carrera was available in multiple body styles: Coupe (hardtop), Cabriolet (convertible), and Targa, which introduced a revolutionary sliding glass roof instead of a removable panel.

Considered One of the Most Reliable Classic 911s The 993 is often regarded as the most reliable air-cooled 911, thanks to refined engineering, improved build quality, and a nearly bulletproof drivetrain.

A Highly Desirable Collector’s Car Due to its timeless design, last air-cooled engine, and incredible driving dynamics, the 993 Carrera has become one of the most valuable and collectible 911 models, with prices continuing to rise.
