One of the rarest and most collectible 993 models, the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S debuted in 1997. With limited production, a wide Turbo body, and rear-wheel-drive configuration, this 1997 C2S is finished in the rare shade of Ocean Blue Metallic over Black leather. Acquired by the seller from a Belgian collector, where it was stored in a garage for approximately six years, this sought-after 911 shows fewer than 52k miles and is now being offered for auction out of Connecticut.
Specified from the factory in the seldom-seen shade of Ocean Blue Metallic, this 993 Carrera S features the widened fenders of the Turbo model and a distinctive split-grille rear decklid. It rides on coveted 18” factory hollow-spoke Technology wheels with Bridgestone Potenza tires. The seller adds that European-market specification bumpers were fitted under prior ownership. Some areas of paintwork were performed by J&B Body Works in Mount Vernon, New York, and a ceramic coating was applied by E-magtronic in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with paint meter readings and a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the driver is situated within a Black leather interior featuring 8-way power-operated front seats. The equipment includes a sunroof, a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic speed control, power windows, and a Becker Porsche CR-210 cassette radio.

No outstanding maintenance items have been reported, and service is said to have been performed by E-Magtronic under the current ownership.

The seller would like you to know: “Very happy with the car. I have a few 993's and looking to replace this with a Turbo.”
