The Autoart 993R is a tribute to the driving experience of a 911. It brought together the narrow-bodied, air-cooled 993-series 911 and the Original Equipment (OE) race-validated 993RS, along with modern Porsche GT-derived components, added with Paul Stephen’s proven parts. So the Autoart 993R is the perfect combination of the charm of the air-cooled Porsche with modern engineering and lightweight manufacturing advances that completely improved its performance, style, and even its famed overall driving experience.

It was given a stronger and a larger 3.8-liter engine, with a 997 GT3 crankshaft, RSR pistons, camshafts were connected to Paul Stephen’s own design and had Porsche Motorsport solid lifters. It has a peak power of 330 bhp at 7,400 rpm compared to the original 272 bhp at 6,100 rpm. With the configuration, the team was more focused on the drivability of the car instead on the outright power. For those who want more power, there is also a 360 bhp version available and when supplied in this specification, it has a visceral redline of 8,500 rpm.
