1996 Porsche 993 Coupe – Rare Color

The Porsche 993 holds a special place in the hearts of car lovers. As the end of Porsche’s air-cooled era, the 993 represents the ultimate in air-cooled refinement and performance, while retaining the charm that made the world fall in love with the 911 30 years before its debut. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-6 the 993 Carrera produces 270 horsepower and is best enjoyed when connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels.

This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera is a lovely example, finished in one of the 993’s most famous colors- Arena Red. Widely remembered from the 993 Turbo’s “Kills Bugs Fast” advertising campaign, the deep wine red metallic debuted in the 993 generation and is the color most closely linked to the car. In this example, it is paired with a Marble Gray leather interior, offering a nice contrast to the dark exterior. A longtime Washington car, this 993 Carrera is both stunning to look at and an absolute pleasure to drive.
