Retrospect: Porsche 993 Turbo

The last air-cooled 911 is still used as a benchmark

The Porsche 911, the undisputed king of sports car evolution, has continued to be transformed since its 1963 debut. One significant chapter came in 1995 with the introduction of the 993 model – the final iteration of the air-cooled 911 series. The 993 epitomized Porsche’s engineering capabilities, integrating the classic air-cooled flat-6 powerplant, esteemed for its raw performance and character, with significant advancements in suspension, aerodynamics, and styling. Ultimately, the 993 stood as the final tribute to Porsche’s air-cooled heritage, preceding the move to water-cooled engines in 1997, marking a new era for Porsche.
