1998 | Original-Owner 38k-Mile Porsche 911 Carrera S
Technical Information
Overview
The 993-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S stands as one of the most revered models in the marque's storied lineage, blending the unmistakable charm of the air-cooled flat-six engine with modern advancements that redefined the 911 experience. Introduced in the mid-1990s, the Carrera S differentiated itself with its iconic wide-body design, borrowed from the Turbo model, and a distinctive stance that exuded elegance and aggression in equal measure. Beneath its sculpted bodywork lay Porsche’s 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, producing 282 horsepower and paired with either a Tiptronic automatic or a desirable 6-speed manual, as equipped in this example, delivering a driving experience celebrated for its precision and visceral engagement. The 993 also marked the end of an era as the last of the air-cooled 911s, earning its place as a collector’s favorite for its blend of mechanical purity and refined engineering.
What sets the Carrera S apart was not only its stunning wide-body aesthetic but also its ability to channel the spirit of the classic 911 while incorporating cutting-edge technology for its time. The 993 generation introduced multilink rear suspension, providing unprecedented handling balance and ride comfort, a significant evolution over its predecessors. The Carrera S, offered only in rear-wheel drive, prioritized purity and driver connection, making it a standout in the 993 lineup. With limited production numbers and timeless design, this model remains a benchmark for enthusiasts who seek a perfect marriage of heritage, performance, and sophistication in an iconic sports car.
This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S is a striking example of the final iteration of the 993 generation, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Classic Grey Partial Leather interior and enhanced by the rare factory Aerokit Turbo II, which lends the car an unmistakably aggressive appearance. Delivered new to the seller, factory features include the Power Seat Package, Motor Sound Package, 18" wheels, a Hi-Fi Sound Package, and head restraints embossed with the Porsche crest, ensuring both comfort and a touch of refinement. The car has been thoughtfully upgraded with Techart mufflers and pedals as well as lowering springs and a Porsche Classic Radio with iPod integration, enhaning the driving experience while maintaining the car’s timeless appeal. The original factory mufflers and springs accompany the sale, making this Carrera S a well-preserved and highly desirable wide-body 993 with tasteful enhancements that complement its iconic design. Now showing only 38k miles, this collector-grade example is offered with a clean Carfax report, a Seller's Disclosure report, and a clean title.
