1996 | Porsche 911 Turbo
Overview
Development of the 993 generation Porsche 911 Turbo, launched in 1996, was conceived under the guidance of Porsche's engineering team led by Horst Marchart, with design input from Tony Hatter. This model was the first 911 Turbo to feature all-wheel drive, a system derived from the legendary Porsche 959, enhancing its handling and stability. The development focused on improving aerodynamics, resulting in a sleeker body with an integrated rear wing and a wider stance to accommodate the new drivetrain.
For model year 1996, the 993 Turbo was powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six engine, producing 408 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant was a significant advancement over its predecessors, featuring air-cooled technology and a robust engine management system. The car's performance was further enhanced by a six-speed manual transmission, larger brakes, and an advanced suspension setup. The 993 Turbo could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 180 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. The combination of engineering excellence and distinctive design solidified the 993 Turbo's place as a beloved icon among Porsche enthusiasts.
