1995 Porsche 911 Turbo 993 MY96

The final evolution of an air-cooled icon, the 911 Turbo Type 993 captures the essence of what has long defined Porsche; engineering precision, durability, and performance delivered without unnecessary theatre.

Delivered new by Scuderia Veloce Motors in January 1996, this Australian-delivered 911 Turbo is finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a Black leather soft look leather interior and desirable Sports Seats, an especially sought after combination.

It has enjoyed just three owners over the past 30 years, the most recent being a discerning Porsche collector. Having travelled only 96,250 kilometres, it is accompanied by a comprehensive service history and was most recently serviced at 95,400 kilometres. It is a car that has clearly been preserved with care, retaining the integrity that is so often lost with the test of time.

Just 114 examples were delivered to Australia and the number of well-kept, low-kilometres and unmodified cars continues to narrow.

Beautifully presented throughout and retaining all the character expected of a carefully preserved 993 Turbo, it remains a highly desirable, collector-grade example of Porsche’s final air-cooled 911 Turbo generation.

The 993 Turbo introduced twin turbocharging and all-wheel drive to the 911 range producing 300kW and 540Nm. Performance is impressive even by modern standards with 0–100 km/h achieved in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h if you are game.

On the road, the experience is distinctly analogue. If you are driving one for the first time and you put your foot to the floor in second gear; there is a moment of composure and almost disappointment before the twin-turbos come on song which is followed by a strong, neck breaking surge that keeps building relentlessly until you give in and change gear. 

Unlike its predecessors, the all-wheel drive system provides reassuring traction, but it is the steering feel, compact dimensions and mechanical feedback that define the car; everything operates with a sense of connection that modern 911s, for all their capability, tend to dilute. It’s a car that rewards measured inputs rather than flamboyance.

This example is accompanied by its original keys, service books, and manuals supporting its provenance and authenticity. The interior remains well preserved, and the exterior finish reflects careful ownership featuring a full body paint protection film.

Australian-delivered 993 Turbos have become increasingly difficult to source in this condition. For those seeking a properly maintained, original example, this represents a considered and increasingly rare opportunity.
