The
Porsche 993 was the 911 model sold between 1994 and early 1998.
The 993 was the replacement for the Porsche 964.
Porsche made several variants of the 993 including the Carrera,
Carrera Cabriolet and Targa, Turbo, Turbo S, Carrera RS and
GT2.
The Carrera was the entry level version of the Porsche 993.
It was available in either rear or all-wheel drive versions.
To identify the two different versions a "Carrera 2"
badge adorned the rear of the two wheel drive version, while
the all-wheel-drive model recived a "Carrera 4" badge. However
they are often reffered to as the C2 or C4 versions by enthusiasts.
Powering the 993 Carrera was a naturally
aspirated 3.6 litre, flat-6 cylinder
engine. This developed around 285 horsepower @ 6,100 rpm.
The options list for the Porsche 993 Carrera was comprehensive
and offered the buyer a high degree of customisation. Interior
options included almost infinite upholstery choices, three different
seat styles (comfort, sport and racing), and various in car
entertainment systems. For the exterior the buyer could choose
from five different wheel styles, various suspension set-ups,
and any paint color imaginable.
