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. 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.
