In September 1993, the fourth 911 generation was presented to the public and delivered from January 1994. Under the leadership of the new CEO Wendelin Wiedeking, Harm Lagaaij and his team developed the new 993 series.

This saved Porsche AG from financial ruin, as the 993 series was an absolute bestseller. However, Porsche ended the era of air-cooled engines with the 993 Carrera. At the end of March 1998, the last air-cooled 911 left the factory. The next 996 series already had water-cooled boxer engines.

The vehicles shown can be categorised as follows:

• The 993 without the rear spoiler is a 993 Carrera 4S: with a 3.6-litre boxer engine and 285 hp at a weight of 1,470 kg. Its turbo-wide body with turbo brake system and 18-inch rims make this model perhaps the most important of the 993 series.
• The 993 with the small rear spoiler is a 993 Carrera RS of which only 787 vehicles were built. This very sporty model has a 3.8 litre boxer engine with 300 hp at a reduced weight of 1,270 kg.
• The 993 with the large rear spoiler is a 993 Carrera RS - Clubsport of which only 227 were built. Designed for the race track, this model is characterised by a 3.8 litre engine, 300 hp and a weight of 1,270 kg, but including a 92 litre tank, roll cage, racing seats and fire extinguisher.

For many Porsche fans, the 993 Carrera sports cars are the most beautiful and favourite 911s. Perhaps also because this model series represents a crucial milestone in the history of Porsche.
