The 993 generation of the legendary Porsche 911 hit the scene in 1994 as a replacement for the previous 964 generation. While the design was largely similar, the 993 features a more swept-back and aerodynamic appearance, with the headlights of the 964 being more integrated into the body and the rear haunches taking on a smoother look. According to Porsche, every part of the 964 was designed from scratch, including the engine, with only 20% of the parts being carried over. The car sat on a new light-alloy rear subframe with a new multi-link coil springs and wishbone rear suspension, removing the previous generation’s lift-off oversteer.
Mechanically, the 993 was the first 911 to offer a standard 6-speed manual transmission, and it carried on the choice between a rear- and all-wheel drive powertrain. The regular Carrera coupe and cabriolet variants were powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6L SOHC flat 6-cylinder engine, producing 282 HP and 250 lb-ft of torque through a newly developed dual-flow exhaust. This particular 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 is the rear-wheel drive variant and is finished in Arctic Silver with a contrasting black interior. Thanks to its meticulous previous ownership, it remains in highly original condition and boasts only 42,918 miles on the odometer.
Some recent service items include a detail, fluid flush, including the clutch cylinder, and a refurbishment of the air conditioning system. Some of this 911’s noteworthy features that make it an especially desirable example include a sunroof, factory green-tinted glass, automatic speed control, the factory CDR-210 audio system, 4-wheel disc brakes with black Porsche-script calipers, projector headlights with washers, an eight-way power driver’s seat, four-war power passenger seat and 17-inch five-spoke wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps.
Classic Porsches will forever hold a spot in enthusiasts’ driveways, and this garage-kept 911 is an impressive example of its generation, given its low mileage and its well-maintained condition. The new owner will also receive the car’s original floor mats as part of the purchase.
