THE PORSCHE 911 (993) CABRIOLET

In 1993 Porsche introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form. The Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognizably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. Porsche's engineers devised a new light-alloy sub frame with coil and wishbone suspension (an all new multi-link system), putting behind the previous generations' lift-off oversteer and making significant progress with the engine and handling, thus creating a more civilized car and providing an improved driving experience. The 993 was also the first 911 to receive a six-speed transmission. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest, 3.6-liter version of Porsche's perennial air-cooled flat-six engine.
