The 993 Turbo was a monumental car for Porsche, marking the end of the air-cooled era. Introduced for 1995 in Europe and 1996 in the US, it was the first 911 Turbo to feature all-wheel drive and the first production Porsche with twin turbochargers. Its 3.6-liter flat-six produced 402 hp, launching the car to 60 mph in about 4 seconds and giving it supercar performance that's still impressive today.
Collectors prize the 993 Turbo for its unique position as the ultimate air-cooled 911, blending classic feel with modern usability and speed. Its 'widebody' styling, with flared fenders and a fixed 'whale tail' spoiler, is iconic. Later models offered an optional X50 Power Kit, which boosted output to 424 hp, and the ultra-rare 1997 Turbo S made 450 hp in the US market.
The market for the 993 Turbo has been strong for years, with an average sale price around $247,000. It's seen as a blue-chip collectible, less volatile than some other models. Exceptional, low-mileage examples and rare Turbo S variants command prices well above the average, often exceeding $400,000 and reaching over $1,000,000 for the best cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for smoke from the exhaust on startup, a sign of worn valve guides which is a common and expensive repair.
- Inspect the secondary air injection (SAI) system for clogged ports, which can cause a check engine light and require an engine-out service to fix.
- Verify the service history, paying close attention to maintenance of the twin-turbo and all-wheel drive systems. Consistent, documented upkeep is crucial.
- Look for leaks from the hydraulic clutch assist system's slave and accumulator cylinders, which are known failure points.
- Examine the front and rear window seals and the areas around the headlights for any signs of corrosion.
Prices range from under $150,000 for higher-mileage examples to over $1,300,000 for the rarest, low-mileage Turbo S variants.
