Vehicle description

Porsche is one of the best-known automobile manufacturers in the world. Founded in 1945 from the design office founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1931, the company celebrated its final breakthrough in 1963. This year, the Porsche 911 designed by Ferdinand Porsche Jr. was presented, which became the style icon of its time. The typical Porsche curves and the striking front end have remained with some changes to the present day, while the Porsche 993 with its numerous innovations and improvements compared to the original "Neunelfer" is considered a particularly faithful, tradition-conscious and reliable model.

In this auction, a silver-colored Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Convertible is for sale. The vehicle was produced in Zuffenhausen in 1996 and then exported to the United States to the Porsche representative in Palo Alto. The lively sports car was first registered in July of the same year and spent most of the last 25 years in California before being brought back to Germany by a collector in 2015. In its history, the car had only three owners and has remained accident-free since its return to Europe and probably before that. The development of the sports car is easy to understand in the checkbook, but not all documents are available anymore. A reliable statement about matching numbers is therefore not possible beyond doubt, but first the Porsche 993 must be officially registered in Germany. Registration as a historic vehicle is not yet possible, but the main inspection at the TÜV must be made up. With a valid operating permit, the future owner can look forward to a car ready to drive, which is handed over in good general condition with 2 vehicle keys and numerous documents.

...

The silver paintwork gives the Porsche 993 Convertible an exclusive and graceful look. The high-performance sports car literally glitters in the sun, while at the same time the black folding roof and the dark radiator grille create a pleasant contrast. The vehicle was upgraded by an elegant rear spoiler, otherwise no external modifications were made to the Carrera. The exterior presents itself in an almost mint condition without dents, dents or corrosion infestation, only two small holes on the hood and tiny paint damage to the bumpers and the doors cloud the otherwise wonderful overall impression.

...

Original Porsche alloy wheels are mounted on the vehicle, which give the Porsche 993 Convertible additional dynamism thanks to their five-spoke look. The tires of Kumho Ecsta in the sizes 205/50 and 255/40 are like the rims in good condition, the brakes were fundamentally renewed at the beginning of 2022. No modifications have been made to the chassis, whether there are previously undiscovered defects in this area should be clarified during an inspection.

...

The interior of the vehicle is kept in discreet dark grey. Elegant leather armchairs with fabric seats were installed and the floor was carpeted. The side doors have a combination of both materials, the cockpit presents itself in a well-kept grey plastic look. The displays and controls are designed in an elegant black, the same as the radio, ventilation and other internals. The vehicle also has power steering, central locking, power windows, air conditioning and cruise control, as well as driver airbags, a vehicle cover and electrically adjustable seats. The interior makes a very well-kept impression and has no recognizable damage, only the seats can be seen for years of use.

...

The Porsche 993 Carrera Convertible has so far covered a little more than 200,000 kilometers, as can be seen from the speedometer disc and can be traced on the basis of the service documents. The speed display has unfortunately been defective for some time, as well as the interior lighting, the electric exterior mirrors and the rear left speaker are currently without function. All other instruments are ready for operation without restrictions, so repairing the speedometer should be a priority.

...

The Porsche 993 Carrera 2 has a 6-cylinder boxer engine with a displacement of 3.6 litres, which delivers an output of 286 hp (210 KW) to the road. The top speed is reached at 275 km/h and the power transmission is controlled via a 6-speed gearbox. The fuel consumption of 11.3l per 100 km is extremely moderate for a sports car. Defects in the engine and the technology are not known, also the underbody is in good condition. The last known service dates back 8 years, but in 2017 NO defects were detected by DEKRA, so that detailed aspects can be clarified in the context of inspection and general inspection.

...

In 2022, the brakes of the vehicle were replaced and thus the Porsche 993 Carrera Convertible was put into a roadworthy condition. In the interior of the sports car, the mentioned minor repairs are necessary, as well as should be checked, which is why the electronics on the vehicle hood are currently not working.

...

The silver Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Cabrio is a real classic from the automobile manufacturer from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Compared to the predecessor models 911 and 964, the technology of the lively sports car is much more sophisticated and reliable, so that workshop visits are the exception. The 993 is also the last vehicle from the 911 model series to be equipped with an air-cooled engine, which should be an important argument especially for tradition-conscious Porsche purists. The silver sports car is the ideal vehicle for short jaunts and extended journeys, where elegance, power and comfort guarantee maximum driving pleasure.
