Intended for drivers who demanded top performance, the 993 Turbo was first launched to the world in September 1995, where in Germany it was voted Sports Car of the Year by “auto motor and sport” magazine. A huge sensation when it was launched, the 993 series Turbo was based on the Carrera 4. In fact, its unbelievable technical capabilities, and exceptionally good roadholding, led to it being compared in the magazine reports to the incredible 959.

Three key developments contributed to its unbelievable performance. The engine had low inertia turbos, the transmission had six close-ratio speeds, and it came with four-wheel drive. The 911 Turbo was conceived and built by motorsport enthusiasts, and the addition of the Exclusive Option 706 X50 power pack with its adapted ECU meant that the maximum output rose to 430hp (331kw) and gained an additional oil cooler and a twin-pipe exhaust from the 993 Turbo S model. The X50 power upgrade measurably improves the 993 Turbo, and the car is far better at being civilised and coping with everyday driving conditions than its competitors. It gives Turbo S-level performance, without the higher price tag.

Supplied new by AFN Porsche in March 1997, this 993 Turbo has been meticulously maintained.  Its original leather driver’s book pack is complete, and it has an excellent history file and historical MOT’s.  Presented in excellent condition throughout, this is a modern classic 993 Turbo X50 which is bound to please Porsche collectors. It will also be supplied with a comprehensive 12-month written warranty.
