The 993 Turbo featured wider bodywork, revised bumper covers, and a fixed rear spoiler to accommodate top-mount intercoolers when compared with the standard 993 coupe. This example left the factory finished in Black (041) and received a glass-out repaint and paint protection film under current ownership. A Turbo S–style front spoiler, brake cooling ducts, and fog lights have been installed, along with clear fog light lenses. Additional exterior features include a power sunroof, xenon headlights, a rear window wiper, and polished exhaust outlets. Paint protection film has been applied to the full exterior, according to the seller. A ceramic coating and ceramic window tint are said to have been recently applied.
The 18″ BBS E88 wheels feature a three-piece design and titanium lug nuts. Wheel spacers have been installed, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are mounted front and rear. Modifications include KW coilovers and H&R sway bars with drop links as well as Rothsport steering rack bushings and Eisenlohr Racing RSR front uprights. The brake calipers were rebuilt and refinished by PMB Performance under current ownership, and stainless-steel brake lines were installed along with replacement brake rotors, pads, and wear sensors. The ride height was adjusted, an alignment and corner balance were performed, and the brake fluid was flushed in preparation for the sale.
The interior is appointed with black leather upholstery, and it was overhauled under current ownership with heated Recaro Sportster RS Nurburgring Edition front seats, RS-style leather door panels with custom door pulls, and a custom sound system with a Porsche Classic head unit. Details include a Rothsport shift knob linked to an FD Motorsports short shifter as well as a metal pedal set, air conditioning, USB charging ports, and color-coordinated Porsche-branded floor mats.
A 996 GT3 airbag steering wheel has been fitted, and it frames Turbo S–style instrumentation including a 200-mph speedometer, an analog Quarz clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 75k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 3.8L flat-six was rebuilt to a 3.8-liter displacement under current ownership using Mahle 102mm pistons and cylinders. The turbochargers were rebuilt with upgraded components, the DME was tuned, and a lightweight flywheel, hydraulic 964 camshafts, semi-solid engine mounts, performance cylinder head studs, and upgraded oil lines were installed during the project. Fister Stage III mufflers are equipped. An oil change was carried out, and the boost pressure sending unit was replaced in preparation for the sale.
