Porsche 911 1996 (P) - 993 Carrera S 2dr Tiptronic S

Full Franchise Service History, The Porsche 993 Carrera S represents one of the most desirable chapters in Porsches storied 911 lineage. Produced during the final years of air-cooled development, the Carrera S combines the purity and character of the last air-cooled flat-six with the visual drama of the wide-body Turbo shell, creating a model that is both technically significant and emotionally compelling.Introduced in the mid-1990s, the 993 generation marked a major evolution for the 911, featuring a newly developed multi-link rear suspension, improved refinement and a level of build quality that many enthusiasts regard as a high watermark for Porsche. The Carrera S sat proudly near the top of the naturally aspirated range, pairing the evocative wide arches, deeper stance and red reflector rear light strip with the classic rear-wheel-drive layout, delivering a driving experience that is both engaging and beautifully balanced.Powered by the revered 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, producing approximately 285 bhp, the Carrera S offers a rich mechanical soundtrack and a level of throttle response that modern cars can only aspire to replicate. Performance remains impressive even by todays standards, yet it is the tactility, steering feel and sense of connection that truly define the car. Whether driven with intent on a flowing road or enjoyed as a grand tourer, the 993 Carrera S feels special in every scenario.Inside, the cabin blends traditional Porsche ergonomics with timeless design, offering superb visibility, supportive seating and an unmistakably analogue driving environment.
