The last air cooled Turbo and also the first one with a 4WD system. Even though the mid' 90s weren't the happiest years for Porsche, they managed to create another masterpiece after the legendary 959. It was produced for four years, but units manufactured in 1995 were sold as 1996 MY too.

The 993 Turbo became the fastest sports car in acceleration when it was launched. It only needed four seconds to reach 62 mph from zero. Unlike previous Turbos, the 993 featured a couple of turbochargers instead of just one, as well as many other improvements.

The output was increased to 408 HP thanks to that, but there were two optional performance packages that could lift that number up to 450. It was known as well for its huge highly effective disc brakes, capable of stopping this 911 from 62 to 0 in 2,3 seconds.
