The 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911 and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts.
It's also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche.
20 years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design.
It was introduced in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new with more curvaceous bodywork and a number of new panels creating a much smoother and more integrated look however, importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.
British designer, Tony Hatter’s, penmanship effortlessly combined subtlety and road presence for a changing demographic with an expansive option list to match the individual’s enthusiasm at a time when the right image was deemed as important as performance.
