Porsche 993 Carrera S

The story behind this collectible...
- Cornering the Porsche 993 2S; it's like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth. -
The Porsche 993 911 2S. A Porsche that is very significant to many and closed things, but also opened new doors in Stuttgart. It was the very last 911 that used purely air to cool. Also, it was the last 911 that Ferdinand Porsche himself experienced. Four days after the last 993 was born in Stuttgart, Ferdinand breathed his last (air-cooled) breath. R.I.P. hero!
Compared to its predecessor (and no, this was not from the introduction leaflet, this time it really was!), the 993 was revolutionary. Its entire suspension had been tightened up and Porsche introduced the VarioRam system. Something with even more air at revs, for a smooth transition toward the red area of your tachometer, which sits dominantly in the center of the instrument cluster. Überhaupt, Porsche is awfully good at that. Emphasizing the -for an enthusiast- essential things. Driving, experience and emotion. And we can tell you that in a slightly lowered 993 2S these are right on the mark.
And ours? Yes, just the way you want it! Her Polar Silver Metallic is mostly still original paint, her interior is tadeless and she has an extensive history. Before she came to sleep at our clubhouse, she was fully serviced by Kees Otten in Ankeveen, Porsche specialist. So yes, we also thought about the rational side. Saves a few nights of couch sleeping at home. Will we see you soon?
