1997 | Porsche 911 Carrera

Porsche’s storied 911 reached the heights of its aircooled evolution leading up to the new Millennium. Designated 993, the model’s ground-up departure from the outgoing 964 generation yielded smoothed contours and a host of technological firsts later to become hallmarks of the platform for decades to come. Aside from styling, a wholly revised suspension, 6-speed manual transmission, and Varioram intake resulted in elevated the new 911 to remain among Zuffenhausen’s most sought-after RWD offerings to the present day.

.

In Carrera form, the 993’s narrow-body configuration bridged the best of old and new with clear continuity in design. Lithe handling met 3.6L power to wide acclaim. Flowing body lines still tallied wider rear wheel arches and tires over its predecessor—improving ride quality overall by limiting throttle liftoff in corners and reducing interior noise. Revised power steering, larger cross-drilled brakes, and 285hp as standard made the Carrera coupe a formidable and rewarding driver’s car without equal.
