The
Porsche 911/ 993 Turbo was built between the years 1995 and 1997. After
Porsche ceased the production of the 911/ 964 Turbo customers had to
wait over a year before the new Turbo model was presented. Just like the
other 911/993 models the Turbo was also 80% changed and updated compared
to it's predecessor 911/964 Turbo. Helped by the new powerful body
design Porsche was able to welcome many new customers and the existing
Porsche clientele approved the new model immediately. The exterior was
redesigned and was given a more muscular appearance, the suspension was
drastically updated and multi link rear wheel suspension was
incorporated which was derived from the "Weissach construction" used in
the Porsche 928.
Roadholding improved significantly; sensitivity for bumps and pits in
the road was resolved and the oversteer character caused by the weight
of the engine in the rear of the car was almost totally deleted. Driving
comfort was improved and cabin noise was reduced resulting in a higher
level of driving pleasure on long distance trips.
The 911/993 transmission featured a manual or Tiptronic 6-speed gearbox.
De 993 Turbo was equipped with two turbo chargers and two stage
intercooling. The car was only available with four wheel drive. Other
standard items on the Turbo were ABS, ABD and a limited slip
differential.
Where the "normal" Porsche 911/993 already looks powerful and racy the
Turbo looks even more bold and impressive. The Turbo shows 60 mm. extra
body width, special skirts, special rims and Turbo front and rear
spoilers. The six speed gearbox was equipped with longer gear ratio's to
convert the 408 DIN hp. engine power in a top speed of 290 km/h.
