Introduced to the automotive world in 1995, the Porsche 993 Turbo quickly became an immediate classic. With an air-cooled 408-horsepower twin-turbocharged flat six engine sending power through its 959-derived all-wheel drive system, the cars quickly became known for their astonishing real-world performance. With the ability to outperform sports cars that were double the price all while keeping both the driver and passengers in comfort, the 993 Turbo is an ultimate tour-de-force of performance, technology, and comfort.

This Porsche was completed at the Porsche factory in December 1996, spec’d with Artic Silver paint and a Black interior was delivered to its initial owner in Barrington, IL. After five years of ownership, this 993 turbo was sold to a collector in Massachusetts who kept the vehicle for thirteen years. It was then purchased by another collector in Colorado where it remained for two years before reaching its most recent owner in California. Among these last three owners up until its arrival here at Canepa, the car was only driven 4,180 miles showing the care that was put into the preservation of this vehicle over the span of nearly two decades.

Upon this 993 Turbo’s arrival here at Canepa, it was given the Canepa Difference treatment where it was personally test-driven by Bruce Canepa and inspected by our vetted technicians. After Bruce’s test drive, he confirmed what he already knows about these 993 Turbos—they are “the best air-cooled Porsche ever built.” A statement he continues to stand by decades later. As with every Canepa vehicle, this 993 Turbo was completely currently serviced as needed, ready for the next owner to drive and enjoy it. Every owner of this 993 Turbo knew how to keep the car in cosmetically near-perfect condition and properly serviced, as evidenced by the extensive Carfax service history throughout all ownerships. This 993 Turbo was then brought to our award-winning detail department for a complete Concours detail of the exterior, interior, and underside of this incredible original condition, low-mile example. This is your opportunity to experience and behold Porsche’s best-ever air-cooled vehicle.
