About this car
The 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo stands as the final air-cooled example in the 993 generation, blending timeless design with the mechanical engagement that defines Porsche's supercar heritage. Finished in Polar Silver Metallic, this widebody coupe presents a compact, purposeful stance that accentuates its sculpted lines and classic proportions.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Black leather, creating an understated yet purposeful environment that complements the car's analog character. Power is delivered by the legendary twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six engine, routed through a 6-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive for the signature boost and planted confidence of the era.
With just 8,992 miles from new, this low-mileage example remains a cornerstone for any serious Porsche collection, offering one of the most rewarding ways to experience the air-cooled 911 at its peak.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
