About this car
The 1997 Porsche 993 Twin Turbo arrives in iconic Guards Red over a supple Cashmere interior, showcasing the final air-cooled 911 generation at its performance peak. With 53,600 miles recorded, this coupe delivers the unmistakable character of Porsche’s twin-turbocharged flat-six in a refined, driver-focused package.
Power comes from a 3.6L H6 engine paired with a precise manual transmission and all-wheel drive, producing the balanced handling and rapid acceleration that defined the 993 Turbo. The coupe’s compact proportions—174.7 inches long, 72.1 inches wide, and 51.8 inches tall—combine classic 911 silhouette with functional aerodynamic elements for high-speed stability.
Inside, the four-place cabin emphasizes driver engagement while offering everyday usability, finished in durable yet elegant materials suited to grand touring. Premium unleaded fuel, 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway ratings underscore the car’s blend of performance and efficiency for its era.

The Porsche 911 (992) is the eighth generation of the iconic 911 sports car, introduced in 2019 and still in production as of 2023. Manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany, Porsche has produced over 100,000 units across various trims, though exact figures for specific models remain undisclosed by the company. The 992 is available in multiple variants, including the Carrera, Turbo, and GT3, with engines ranging from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six in base models (379 hp) to a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six in the GT3 (502 hp). Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S and a top speed of up to 205 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 992 holds appeal due to limited-run editions like the 911 Dakar, with only 2,500 units produced, and the GT3 RS, celebrated for its track-focused engineering. Historical significance lies in its evolution of the 911’s rear-engine design, maintaining a legacy since 1963. Value trends show strong appreciation for rare variants, with low-mileage Turbo S and GT3 models often commanding premiums above MSRP in the secondary market, reflecting high demand among enthusiasts and investors.
