This Supercar Driver video showcases a road-legal version of the Porsche 993 Cup, a factory-built race car originally designed for Porsche’s one-make racing series. Unlike a standard 911, the Cup car features a fully stripped interior, a welded roll cage, racing harnesses, and minimal equipment, emphasizing performance over comfort.
Power comes from a race-prepared flat-six enlarged from 3.6 to 3.8 liters, producing around 310 horsepower. The car also benefits from a limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes derived from the Turbo, and lightweight magnesium center-lock wheels. Aerodynamic upgrades, including a front splitter and large rear wing, distinguish later Cup models from earlier versions.
On the road, the experience is raw and uncompromising. The sparse cabin, stiff suspension, and direct controls make it feel every bit the race car it is. With the roll cage positioned close to the driver, the reviewer stresses the importance of wearing a helmet for safety, even on public roads.
