SCROLL DOWN TO SEE AUTOCHECK HISTORY REPORT California (dry southwest) car! You are looking at an extraordinary and uniquely rare Porsche Turbo Cabriolet! The best of both worlds offering the luxury and open air excitement of the Cabriolet with the raw performance of the GT2 993 Porsche Turbo! The GT2 is the ultimate 993 Porsche Turbo that has two wheel drive like this Porsche. The GT2 are now selling for upwards of $276,000! (Coys Auction, May 12, 2012. 210,000 Euros auction price for a 993 GT2) This car and the GT2 both have twin turbo motors, both weigh around 2900 pounds and both feature true sports racing Porsche 2 wheel rear wheel drive. Read more below about the 12-14 1995 Porsche Turbo Cabriolets secretly built by Porsche below. This 993 Cabriolet has nearly $60,000 in upgrades! Ordinary 993 Turbo Motors alone, that's just the motor, cost $23k-$25k. Just 4k miles on new and specially built TWIN PLUG twin turbo motor, new suspension, clutch, flywheel and brake upgrades! (67k on odometer) Classic and collectible, this is the ultimate Porsche 993 Cabriolet, a Twin Turbo Cabriolet in spectacular condition. Stunningly beautiful Cabriolet in Polar silver with special order full leather Flamenco Red interior as was the Porsche Poster "911% Excitement". This car is in Concours condition. Drive it, track it or show it, the choice is yours. This is the Porsche Speedster Porsche should have built! $50,000 in upgrades with less than 4k miles on all the upgrades. Unique Porsche Twin Turbo Cabriolet! This is a Twin Plug Twin Turbo Cabriolet weighing 2930 and more horsepower than the 911 Twin Turbo which weighs more than 3300 pounds or nearly 500 pounds more than this Cabriolet. Critically, this twin turbo motor has ZERO LAG and gets better gas mileage as well. Torque is right there right now unlike low compression factory turbo motors. In 1995 Porsche built just 12-14 Turbo Cabriolets but they employed the 964 single turbo motor making just 360 hp with a five speed transmission. The last time one came up for sale it was offered for more than $200k. My 993 Twin Turbo features the newer 993 twin plug twin turbo motor and the venerable six speed transmission!According to Wikipedia: "Turbo CabrioletAfter the 3.3 liter G-model Turbo convertible (1987–89), Porsche never officially offered an air-cooled Turbo convertible again. However, in 1995 a small number (believed to be 14) 993 Turbo Cabriolets were sold before the introduction of the 993 Turbo coupe. They featured the 360 hp (DIN) single-turbo engine of the 964 Turbo 3.6, a 5-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive and the wing of the 964 Turbo 3.6. This required a premium of DM 89,500 (or plus 62%) over the standard 993 Cabriolet's price. The 993 was the last of the classic air-cooled Porsches and considered to be the best looking. CAR Magazine, a top English Auto publication picked the 993 as the 5th “Coolest Car” of all time on its Top 100 List, stating not only was it the last of the air cooled Porsche’s but the best looking 911 ever. This spectacular color combination was used by Porsche for their Poster campaign entitled “911% Excitement”. Just 4k miles on the new engine, turbo system, suspension, brakes, exhaust, carbon fiber steering wheel, aluminum-leather shifter, etc. 200 miles on new clutch and new aluminum flywheel. (67K on Car.) This is one of the most rare and most beautiful Porsche 911 / 993 you’re ever going to find featuring a stunning color combination. Faster than standard 993 Twin Turbo thanks to it’s Protomotive Twin Turbo system and its custom engine built by Proto Tech. The Twin Turbo system cost $17,500 (have invoice) and the custom built engine with high performance heads, valves, rings, etc., cost an additional $9650 (have invoice). This motor has zero turbo lag and more low end torque than the factory Turbos. It also gets far better gas mileage. About 14 around town and 23 on the highway (compared to 13 city / 19 highway for factory TT.) With the six speed she’ll cruise on highway at 60 mph around 2k RPM making her a great cruiser as well as canyon runner. With its current suspension setup this car will drive circles around a stock 993 Twin Turbo! PSS9, Turbo Motorsport sway bars, 9” and 11” wide lightweight Gemballa competition wheels, 255 mm tires Michelins up front and 315 mm in the rear. Top speed on this car is higher than Twin Turbo as well. Not a dent or ding to be found. Last of the air cooled classic Porsches. Classic James Dean color combination and rolling sculpture. This is the most stunning and classic looking 911 you'll find with Polar Silver exterior and a full Flamenco red leather interior. What does full leather mean? Most all Porsche’s have plastic dash, door panels, and vinyl seat backs, etc. Nearly every surface of this car’s interior is covered in leather. The dash, door panels, side panels, rear seats and trim. It’s like comparing the top of the SL600 to the entry level SL500. This car has that level of premium materials and quality. This is a rich red, not that rust colored “boxster” red they now use. Similar to what Ferrari calls “Oxblood” or “Bordeaux”. Gemballa Red roof w/ custom matching red canvas boot. TIAL wastegates, Garrett custom Twin Turbos. High efficiency Intercooler. Motor, wheels, suspension, tires, brakes, etc have about 4k miles. Clutch and flywheel have about 200 miles. This spectacular color combination is the same combination used by Porsche for their Poster campaign: “911% Excitement”. Over $2000 spent on acquiring a European Front Bumper as it eliminates the unsightly U.S. “bumperettes”. Lightweight Carbon Fiber Porsche Twin Turbo S rear spoiler fitted to aid cooling of the custom high performance intercooler. White European Turn signals (as opposed to less attractive orange lamps) Steering wheel is rare red leather with Carbon Fiber purchased from Gemballa. Bilstein PS9 fully adjustable externally (shock stiffness and ride height) suspension. This is considered by many to be the best suspension you can put on a 911. Upgraded Turbo Swaybars and bushings, front and rear, purchased from Porsche direct. Turbo Motorsport Brakes: Discs, Calipers, Brake Lines and Pads: These are upgrades to the Standard 993 Twin Turbo Brakes and feature larger pistons for more brake force. Special “Green Stuff” brake pads with good bite and low dust. Special Order Gemballa Competition Wheels w/Titanium Bolts: 11" rear 9" wide fronts approximately just 21 lbs each! Michelin Pilot Sports: 255/35 front / 315/30 rear. (Turbo comes with puny 225 front/285 rear.) Aluminum shift knob with matching red leather. Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel. Sachs Lightweight clutch kit. Weltmeister Quick Shift Kit Upgraded Stereo System with motorized face screen and control panel. Carbon Fiber Turbo S rear Wing Custom 993 Porsche Floor Mats. Gemballa Red Boot for Top Lightweight Strut Brace. Aluminum Trim Rings for dash gauges. Rebuilt dual distributors w/new distributor caps and rotors. Total worldwide production of the Porsche 993 Cabriolet, from 1994 to 1998, that is, for five years, was just 15,980 cars while just 14 Turbo Cabriolets were built. The factory Single Turbo 993 Cabriolet sells for over $200k. By comparison, Ferrari made 13,000 F360s over a similar time frame, showing just how rare the 993 Cabriolet is. In fact, Porsche has built nearly 300,000 Boxsters and nearly as many 996, making the air cooled 993 Cabriolet a true collector’s car. About the 993 single turbo cabriolets: Porsche built 14 special customer ordered 993 Turbo cabs with the powerplant from the 964 Turbo 3.6. These 14 993T convertibles were run through as a "skunk works" project. This was done for the largest Porsche dealer in Germany. Now the interesting part was the new President of Porsche, Dr. Wendelin was supposedly kept in the dark about it. He knew nothing of the project. There are at least 2 in Germany and 2 in France. A collector in England may have the one or more that were purchased by the Sultan of Brunei who also purchased 12 959s which have never been driven and are still in storage in England.? Interesting Fact about the 993: It took 130 hours to build your average 993 which more than twice as many hours as needed to produce the 996 or 997. Hand built versus mass production. ABOUT THE CLASSIC 993 It’s hard to believe that the 993-generation 911 was the first all-new model since 1963. The shape had gently evolved over the years - the first cars' sleek bumpers giving way to the USA-necessitated 'Impact Bumpers', then the arrival of the 1980s SC and Carrera models, the addition of the Tea Tray spoiler, and then the return to sleek bumpers for the 964-generation. All the models shared the same roof, and very similar dimensions and panels. But all this was to change, as Porsche set about blowing away the cobwebs from the 911 with the all-new 993. Launch - With a Waiting List The 993 was unveiled in early 1994, and as soon as Porsche had started to build them, buyers were beating a path to the dealerships' doors. This was a good sign - Porsche was on its way back around, after poor sales from the lacklustre 968 and 964 models. The press at the time gave the car gushing reports, and rejoiced in the fact that Porsche had implemented its brief for the new family member perfectly - improvement in the three categories of engine, styling and handling. The styling was the car's tour-de-force - the staid looks of the 964 giving away to a smooth, Coke-bottle hipped form - but still pure 911. The upright wings and headlamps had been relaxed and canted backwards by a few degrees, giving the car a breath-taking modern look. The new alloy wheels, from the 968 range, complimented this, and to finish the exterior revamp, a new set of fresh colours was drawn up. Small details stood out - the aerodynamic mirrors, the teardrop exhausts and the wide haunches all combined to ensure that the 993 was the best-looking 911 ever. The visual makeover was enhanced by a re-designed interior, with new fabrics, a new seat design, improved heating and improved dashboard fabrics. Airbags were fitted as standard. Under the skin, the 3.6 litre flat six engine retained its air-cooling (much to the delight of the purists), but with a 10% power increase - peak power was now up to 272 BHP. The new engine featured lavish use of exotic metals, such as magnesium for the fan housing, and a strengthened camshaft along with lighter pistons. A sophisticated Bosch ignition system was employed to keep the engine running as sweet as intended. To cover the handling aspect of the design brief, the traditional semi-trailing arm suspension was scrapped and replaced with a multi-link system - very similar to the 928's Weissach Axle system. New dampers were fitted to improve the ride quality. Drive was delivered to the wheels via a six-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic gearbox. What one woman said about her 993: “This car is fabulous, fantastic, a real trip! I bought it right after my husband died. I'd lost my last Porsche (2nd one) in the Firestorm when we lost everything else, I found that I needed to fill that car loss in order to help me thru the loss of the love of my life. Through the experience of loosing everything in the '91 Firestorm, I learned how to treat myself well in order to overcome a serious loss. Purchasing this car, which is one of the new Targas, was absolutely the best thing I could have done. After a year and a half, I'm now dating my mechanic - - - well, I let him work on my backup car which is an Acura Legend! Amazing how "car people" link love and cars! He's introduced me to autocrossing, and so at an advanced age, I am doing something that was only ever a fantasy of my youth! How do I like my car? I adore it!” The last air-cooled version of the Porsche 911, known as the 993, was made between 1995 and 1998. Porsche has succeeded in making a sports car that can be driven everyday. The 911 is a drivers car. The sculpted lines flow beautifully from front to rear. Porsche cars have always been distinctive, and the 911 has maintained its looks and spirit since it was first introduced. Specifications Maximum power 272bhp @ 6100 rpm ?Maximum torque 243lb/ft @ 5000 rpm 0-60 in 5.2 seconds 0-1/4 mile 13.5 seconds at 106 mph Top speed 171 mph ?Porsche purists feel that the 993 was the ultimate evolution of the original 911, and do not feel the newer 996 is as good a car, especially in terms of looks (I'm one of them, as I feel this was the best looking 911 of them all). ON PAPER. Body: Evolution of all steel unitary construction two door coupe body shell as used for 964 but 20% increase in torsional rigidity. Visually - more curvaceous wings and bumpers. Ellipsoidal headlights. New water based metallic paints. Engine: Bosch Motronic 2.10 engine management with sequential multi-point injection and hot-film sensor metering airflow. Bore/stroke: 100.0mm/76.40mm ?Compression ratio: 11.3:1 Transmission: 6 speed manual . Suspension and steering: Front: as Carrera 2. Rear: New multi-link system mounted on aluminum subframe replaces earlier semi-trailing arms. Transition - 964 to 993 With the introduction of the 993 in the autumn of 1993 the next big step in the 911 evolution was made. A multi-link wishbone arrangement replaced the old semi-trailing arm rear set-up. This immediately reduced the tendency for the car to swap ends and the new rear suspension layout greatly improved `on the limit handling` making the car more user friendly. These improvements meant that the rumbling road noise from the rear of the outgoing 964 had gone. In 1994 business was going a lot better for Porsche when the new 911 (internally known as 993) went on sale. The new car was the most sweepingly changed 911 ever. Gone were the nearly upright headlights that had accompanied the 911 for over thirty years. They were replaced with 959-like items in favour of better aerodynamics. Together with the new bumper and front wings, they gave the 993 a fresh look, without losing the identity of the 911. Beneath the front bumper were 'air-relief' vents, to help air escape from the wheel wells.Chassis revisions were just as extensive. The 3.6-liter engine was modified to give 272 bhp. A new Porsche-designed six-speed gearbox was used , the rear suspension had been redesigned, and more powerfull brakes had been added. The single exhaust pipe was replaced by exhausts both left and right, like the Turbo's have. The 993 also featured a new interior. Luggage space was increased by 20%. There were new seats, a new steering wheel, and some other changes making the 911 interior more ergonomical. The 993’s replacement, the 996, has not been received so well: ?So obviously has Porsche shifted the values of its foot soldier that, for the first time ever, it is no longer accurate to call the 911 a sports car. Although it lacks decent rear seat space, the 911 is more grand tourer than sports car now. And that can be regarded in two distinctly different ways: as a positive step forwards that will stand the model in fine stead come the next century; or as a crying shame that one of the most characterful and evocative cars of our time has all but disappeared. In reality of course it is both. The design of the new 911 is very plain compared to older 993 type's flowing. The 993 had flowing curvy lines and an aggressive sounding air cooled motor. The new 996 shares 60% of its components with the $39k Boxster and it looks it. Gone are the bulging fenders and gracious curves replaced by straight lines and unsightly humps.
