The 1996 Porsche 993 Turbo wasn't merely a car; it was the pinnacle of an era that marked the grand finale of the air-cooled 911 lineage. With its sculpted silhouette punctuated by that iconic "whale tail" spoiler, the 993 Turbo radiates intent. Those flared rear haunches aren't just aesthetic – they house a 3.6-liter, twin-turbocharged flat-six, a relentless powerplant producing over 408 horsepower.

Step inside, and the cockpit envelops you like a bespoke suit. Supportive leather seats, purposeful instrument layout…this is a space built for the connoisseur, where every detail whispers a singular purpose: the sheer thrill of the drive.

But the 993 Turbo isn't a brute. Its handling prowess is a testament to Porsche's engineering mastery. It carves corners with the precision of a scalpel, its all-wheel drive system providing unwavering grip. This is a machine that rewards skill, demands engagement, and delivers an unmatched connection between driver and road.

Porsche’s 993 Turbo generation saw itself become the most refined air-cooled sports car Porsche had ever produced. With its superior build quality, stupendous performance, and dynamic driving experience, it was the perfect sports car for every occasion. Comfortable for daily driving and enough performance to leave others in the dust, this duality of the 911 Turbo is what earned its status as one of the best sports cars, bar none.

Though this vehicle has had five owners over the years, the most mileage was put on it by the first owner, who drove a paltry 11,500 miles. From that point, the car's usage plummeted and has been well taken care of by Newport Auto Center in Newport Beach, California, since 2012 and Beverly Hills Porsche in Los Angeles, California, before that.

The vehicle has had consistent and meticulous services performed over its lifetime. The previous four owners have maintained it well and used it only on the rarest occasions. And if we take the yearly miles driven (minus the 11,500miles from the first owner) this vehicle has been driven a meager 155 miles per year over the last 24 years of its life. Truly this vehicle was being preserved for its future owner to properly enjoy or to save as a truly fantastic investment vehicle.

Upon arriving at Canepa, vehicles are treated to the "Canepa Difference" This includes a complete mechanical inspection. Everything is serviced as needed and road-tested by Bruce Canepa. It is finished off with a Concours quality detail. The undersides and wheel wells are hand-cleaned, ensuring that each surface is spotless. The trunk, interior, and engine bay are also cleaned, ensuring the vehicle is presented as though it had just rolled out of the factory. With the remaining step being the exterior, the finish is polished and waxed to an "as new" finish.
