Porsche 911 (type 993)

In model year 1994, the 964 series was replaced by the 993 series. This was not only a significant development from a technical perspective, but also from a visual one.

The 993 Carrera's front wings were wider and flatter. The shortened luggage compartment lid eliminated the Black rubber lip that connected the bodyshell and the front bumper on the G model and 964.

The rear wings were also wider and ran in a straighter line towards the rear, where the tail lights set higher.

The 993 was initially available as a Coupé and Cabriolet with rear-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive versions Carrera 4 and 911 Turbo, with viscous multi-plate clutch, followed in the model year 1995, with the Carrera 4S and the Carrera S arriving in the model years 1996/97.

For the first time, the Targa model, produced from model year 1996, had a large, electrically adjustable sliding roof made of tinted laminated glass instead of the removable folding roof, meaning that the previous roll-over bar could be removed from the model.

The Carrera and Targa models were powered by a new 3.6-litre engine that initially produced 272 PS and, from model year 1996, increased to 285 PS.
