1994 Porsche 911 993 Carrera Cabriolet

For its 4th generation, Porsche invested heavily within its halo car and produced  perhaps the most pivotal 911 to date. 

The Type 993 911 Carrera was 80% newer compared to the earlier Type 964 with all new  coke bottle style architecture, a much improved multi-link rear suspension set-up and  a heavily worked 3.6 litre engine. 

Over the 964, the new 911 engine now produced 272hp, pushing air-cooled tech to its  definitive capabilities and ultimately, was the last of the breed to leave Stuttgart. 

Increasingly collectable and irresistibly drivable, the 993 perfectly blends classic 911  styling with modern tech for a totally engaging drive. 

An upright windscreen, small dimensions, retro switchgear and a mechanical gearshift  feel deliver that signature classic 911 drive whilst power delivery and razor-sharp  chassis responses plant the car to the road asking zero questions before launching you  from 0-100kmh in just 5.4 seconds. 

This example was delivered by York Motors Porsche in Rushcutters Bay in December  ‘94 and has only travelled 90,856 kms since. With superb service history since new  supplied within its original leather-bound book pack this lovely 993 Carrera Cabriolet is  a car that lifts your spirits in a way that a chunk of metal and four tyres really shouldn’t. 

Its most recent service completed saw the replacement of the rocker cover gaskets and  oil change with a local Porsche specialist in February 2025 prior to coming to sale. 

Ordered with Tiptronic S transmission, cruise control, Cup 2 alloy wheels with coloured  centre caps, electric seats, windows and mirrors, air conditioning as well as the  upgraded Hi-Fi system and colour-match soft top this well maintained 993 was  optioned with a high-level of comfort and performance in mind and is perfectly prepped  for its next custodian.  

The interior still carries the signature 911 aroma, the leather seats are still firm to the  touch without a stitch out of place and the blemish free dash and original, crystal clear  VDO instrument binnacle show zero signs of age. Everything feels as though it’s cut 

from one piece, this car is from an era when engineers crafted cars rather than silver  foxes in disconnected boardrooms. 

The air-cooled motor oozes character with its whirring and purring hum and the totally  involving drive means you need to put thought into what you’re doing in a way that  newer, fly by wire cars can’t offer anymore. Top down, threading winding tree lined  escape roads this 911 is the perfect remedy to the daily grind.
