Seller description

Porsche Palm Springs is proud to present this exceptional Pre-Owned 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black Leather with just 36,438 km (approximately 22,641 miles) on the odometer. As the final air-cooled 911 Turbo and equipped with the rare factory X50/WLS Power Kit, this 993 represents one of the most collectible Porsche specifications of the modern era complete with matching numbers formally verified by one of Germanys most respected Porsche specialists. The 993 Turbo stands as both the closing chapter of Porsches air-cooled legacy and the beginning of a new era: the final Turbo powered by an air-cooled flat-six and the first to combine twin turbochargers with all-wheel drive. The Arctic Silver Metallic exterior captures the understated confidence the 993 generation is celebrated for clean, taut, and unmistakably 911. Body-colored wheels with painted hubcaps featuring colored Porsche crests reinforce the factory-coordinated aesthetic, while the iconic wide-body silhouette commands attention from every angle. Step inside and the Black Supple Leather interior envelops driver and passenger in classic 993 elegance, featuring full leather front and rear upholstery, heated front seats, and an electrically operated sliding steel sunroof overhead. Cruise control, an infrared security system, and the original Porsche CDR-21 CD radio complete the cabin, while the rare 92-liter long-range fuel tank reflects a thoughtfully ordered specification built for serious driving. Every detail speaks to a car maintained with discipline and preserved with care. Engine and Performance: At the heart of this 993 sits the legendary M64/60 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged air-cooled flat-six, paired with the sought-after G64/51 six-speed manual transmission. Equipped with the factory Werksleistungssteigerung (WLS) Turbo Power Kit known as X50 output increases from 408 horsepower to 430 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque through larger K24 turbochargers, upgraded intercoolers, and revised engine management. Power is delivered to all four wheels through Porsches race-bred all-wheel-drive system, providing the immense grip and relentless acceleration that established the 993 Turbos legendary reputation. In October 2022, Boxermotor Dortmund performed a full compression check across all six cylinders and formally verified matching numbers for both engine (61V01962) and transmission (2007390), noting uniform as-new compression, healthy oil pressure, and no abnormalities.
