This air cooled monster is a collimation of 20 plus years of turbo charged air cooled engine technology and the drive train technology carried over from their legendary AWD 959 super car of the 80’s.

Produced from 1996 to 1998 these turbo’s are in short supply. As with any used Porsche you should pay for a Pre Purchase Inspection when considering the purchase of one. With 0 – 60 MPH at 4.4 seconds (according to the factory) and a top speed of 180 MPH (according to the factory) this is nothing short of spectacular performance.

The 993 TT S (twin turbo) is said to rocket 0 – 60 MPH in 4.1 seconds (according to the factory) and have a top speed of 189 MPH (according to the factory). Since they only produced very few of these be prepared to pay over $100,000 for a turbo S model.
