In 1994, The 933 was initially offered as a coupé and cabriolet. In 1995, the Carrera 4S and Turbo coupé were introduced, then in 1996-1997 came the Targa, then in 97, the Carrera 4.

Admire its commanding presence on the road, with widened rear arches that add to its allure. The front and rear bumpers have been expertly sculpted to accommodate three large air intakes, enhancing both aesthetics and aerodynamics. The iconic "teatray" rear spoiler, now seamlessly integrated into the engine cover, completes the striking silhouette.

This particular 911 Twin Turbo, resplendent in Black Metallic paint, exudes sophistication. Its interior, adorned in Cashmere Beige upholstery, offers a luxurious sanctuary for the driver and passengers alike. With just 38,000 miles on the odometer, this meticulously maintained masterpiece is a testament to its heritage.

Under the hood lies a formidable 3.6-liter horizontally-opposed twin-turbo engine, delivering an exhilarating 408 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, this powerhouse ensures an engaging driving experience like no other. The all-wheel drive platform, coupled with a limited-slip differential, provides unparalleled traction and control, while four-wheel ABS and ventilated disc brakes offer precise stopping power.

The 1997 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo, part of the 993 series, holds a special place in automotive history for several reasons:

1. Last of the Air-Cooled Era: The 993 series was the last generation of Porsche 911 models built between 1995-1998 to house air-cooled engines. It was Porsche’s crucial update from the 964 turbo and was envisioned as the highest performance spec of the 911 that represented both engineering brilliance and driving dynamics (at the time). It was the last model of its kind before Porsche introduced the 996 series leading into water-cooled engines. These factors are why it is particularly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the unique characteristics and sound of air-cooled powerplants.

2. Refined Design: The 993 Twin Turbo featured several design refinements over its predecessors. Notably, it boasted wider rear arches, giving it a more muscular and aggressive stance. The front and rear bumpers were enlarged to accommodate additional air intakes, improving engine cooling and aerodynamics. It was also fitted with wider and larger wheels to improve its stability and handling.

3. Iconic Rear Spoiler: One of the most distinctive features of the 993 Twin Turbo is its rear spoiler, often referred to as the "teatray" spoiler. In 1997, Porsche redesigned the spoiler to drape over the engine cover, creating a sleeker and more integrated appearance. This design is unique to the 993 Twin Turbo and contributes to its iconic silhouette.

4. Limited Production: Porsche produced a relatively small number of 993 Twin Turbo models, adding to their exclusivity and collectability.

5. Performance Prowess: The 1997 911 Twin Turbo is powered by a potent 3.6-liter horizontally opposed twin-turbocharged engine, delivering an impressive 408 horsepower. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, the 993 Turbo offers exhilarating performance and exceptional handling capabilities.

Overall, the 1997 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo stands out as a unique and highly desirable model within the 993 series, combining timeless design, limited production numbers, and exhilarating performance into a true automotive icon. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of Porsche history. As 911 (993) Turbos of this caliber become increasingly rare, seize this opportunity to experience a piece of automotive excellence at its finest.
