Porsche 911 (Type 993) Turbo S

It was the last of its kind, the 993-generation Porsche 911 – the final 911 with an air-cooled flat-six. It was launched in 1993 as the fourth generation of the 911 and almost 70,000 units of the sports car would be manufactured in the following years. Five years later, the Porsche 911 Turbo S emerged, with a limited run of just 435 units from the Exclusive Department. With its 331 kW (450 PS) twin-turbo boxer engine, it was one of the most powerful 911 models of the 993 era. Its sports suspension was lowered by 15 millimetres. The body of this 1998 911 built featured an aero package with front and rear spoilers. In addition to the front indicators, extra openings facilitated improved brake cooling, while the rear side sections featured an integrated air intake reminiscent of the high-tech Porsche 959. The sports car from Zuffenhausen weighed 1,500 kg and went from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 300 km/h. Its rear end featured four tailpipes, while leather and carbon dominated its interior. The roof lining, three-spoke sports steering wheel and almost all the plastic components were covered in leather, with the instrument panel, gear lever and handbrake lever in carbon. The ‘turbo S’ logo was a running theme across and throughout the entire 911 – even the doorhandles featured a finely wrought ‘turbo S’ script.
