Turbo (1995 to 1998)

The Porsche 911 Turbo (993) represents the definitive "end of an era" as the final air-cooled Turbo model, produced globally between 1995 and 1998. It is a landmark vehicle that introduced twin-turbocharging to the 911 platform, using two smaller KKK K16 units to virtually eliminate lag and deliver a smooth 300kW of power. To manage this massive increase in torque, Porsche equipped the 993 Turbo with a permanent all-wheel-drive system derived from the 959 supercar, making it the first Turbo to offer such high levels of all-weather traction and stability. Visually, it is instantly recognisable by its wide-body stance and the iconic "whale-tail" rear wing, which was specially designed with a deep profile to house the air-to-air intercoolers. In the Australian market, the 993 Turbo is an exceptionally rare blue-chip investment, with approximately 114 to 118 standard coupes delivered locally, along with a mere 15 examples of the even more powerful 331kW Turbo S. The buyer pool is comprised of elite collectors who value its status as a largely hand-assembled masterpiece and the last of its kind, with manual coupes being the absolute gold standard for desirability. Market value for Australian-delivered examples has reached extraordinary heights, particularly for the Turbo S and those with rare factory-delivered options, as they represent the ultimate fusion of classic air-cooled soul and modern supercar performance.
