PORSCHE 911 993 CARRERA TARGA TIPTRONIC 1996 MY 97
The Porsche 993 is the last of the air‑cooled 911 generations. The Targa version was produced in a mere 4, 249 units. Designed by the Englishman Tony Hatter, The launch version was a rear‑wheel‑drive coupé or cabriolet; the range was further expanded in 1996 with the introduction of the Targa-bodied model (as per the listed car). A new alloy multi‑link rear suspension system represented one of the major changes brought to the 993 compared with its predecessor. The benefits of using the new suspension were multiple: improved ride quality and stability, reduced tendency to oversteer, and a notable reduction in interior noise.
The engine of the 993 was an air‑cooled 6‑cylinder flat engine, with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC), 3. 6 litres, capable of developing a maximum power of 282 hp. In terms of performance, according to the manufacturer’s data, the 911 993 could reach a top speed of 270 km/ h and sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h in 5. 6 seconds. The trims produced from 1996 onwards (such as the listed car which is a MY 97) introduce a few refinements. The rear exhausts are no longer oval but square in shape. The Targa bodystyle (a middle ground between a coupé and a cabriolet) featured an electrically movable tinted multi‑layer glass roof. The listed car, built in Stuttgart for the American market, was imported into Germany in 2015 with 45, 474 miles. For transparency, note that from Carfax, the car in November 2002 had a minor bump and was repaired to a high standard. As checked and inspected by us it showed no anomalies and was therefore purchased in 2020. Today it has 55, 867 miles, equivalent to 89, 909 km. The car comes with all its documentation and original decals and various invoices for routine maintenance. It has many factory‑original options fitted.
