Ordered new by a department head at Porsche, this German-market 1997 Porsche 993 Turbo beautifully showcases the capabilities of Porsche’s Exclusive customization program. It comes finished in Viola Metallic over Rubicon Grey Special Leather upholstery, an homage to the 911 30th Anniversary “Jubilee” model. This 993 features the WLS1 package with options associated with the Turbo S model including the X50 Powerkit, an additional oil cooler, a front strut brace, quad exhaust tips, carbon fiber interior trim, and aluminum instrument dials. The cabin is appointed with nearly every leather-covered trim option available, from the sun visors to the air vents, control knobs, switches, steering column stalks, and ignition lock surround. It also features a rare factory navigation system and a Nokia telephone module with a leather-covered handset. The car had reportedly been kept in a private European collection since 2001 until it was imported to the U.S. by the seller in 2023. An exceptional example of the last air-cooled 911, this highly-optioned 993 Turbo is now being offered for auction out of Massachusetts with just over 98k kilometers or approximately 61k miles showing on the odometer.

This 993 is finished in the rare factory color of Viola Metallic (L39G), a shade introduced on the limited-edition 1993 Porsche 911 30th Anniversary “Jubilee” model. Equipment includes clear European-market turn signals and side marker lights, Litronic bi-xenon headlamps, fog lights, heated power mirrors, a sunroof, a rear window wiper, a roof antenna, a body-colored rear spoiler, and quad stainless-steel exhaust tips from the Turbo S. Red brake calipers are mounted behind silver 18” Technology hollow-spoke wheels with Turbo-logo center caps and new Michelin N3 Porsche-spec tires. The seller notes the exterior is in excellent overall condition, and the hood and front fenders were previously refinished.

The cabin features Rubicon Grey Special Leather (VR) upholstery encompassing the heated power-adjustable seats, the headliner, air vents, steering column casing, control knobs, switches, kneebar, and more. It was optioned with an Exclusive carbon fiber trim package, carbon/aluminum shifter and brake handles, aluminum instrument dials, stainless-steel door sills, door panel storage compartment lights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a Blaupunkt navigation system, a Nokia telephone module with a leather-covered handset, Nokia Digital Sound Processing (DSP), a 6-disc CD changer, and a Porsche CRR-31 radio. The factory specifications label on the underside hood label shows the equipment codes:

  • XD7 – Strut Brace
  • XEA – Leather Covered Telephone Handset
  • XEB – Nokia 2110i Handset
  • XEF – High-End Navigation System

The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six engine was factory-enhanced with the optional X50 Turbo Powerkit which includes larger K24 turbochargers, an additional oil cooler, and modified engine malmanagement software for an output of 430 HP. All four wheels are driven through a 6-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip and Automatic Brake Differential (ABD). The car was factory-optioned with a front strut tower brace and a 92-liter fuel tank that came standard on the Turbo S model. A major service was recently completed which included the following items:

  • Replaced front and rear shocks with Porsche Classic shocks by Bilstein.
  • Replaced front and rear sway bar links
  • Replaced front ball joints
  • Replaced front and rear brake hoses
  • Replaced battery
  • Replaced valve covers
  • Oil change and filter
  • Mount and balance four new Michelin N3 spec tires

This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, an air compressor, a car cover, a battery charger, and a clean title.

The seller would like you to know: “993 Turbo in Viola Metallic over Rubicon Grey full leather. Ordered with WLS1 package and other Turbo S items including a larger gas tank, cross strut brace, extra oil cooler, etc. A unique car, well optioned, and a fantastic driving experience.”

    @Carreraloverutah yes it is a reserve auction. I contacted the Porsche dealers in Europe trying to gee copies of the service invoices but unfortunately they won't release them. We did a major service when we received the car at Auto Associates in CT and the receipts are attached.

  • Porschecarl (registered bidder) 1 month, 3 weeksago

    I’ve known and successfully completed several high dollar transactions with Brian @hatchmotors over the last decade. He is a knowledgeable, stand up straight shooter that has a knack for digging up some really spectacular Pcars and the occasional cool Benz as well. Bid to win with confidence on this spectacular and Uber rare spec 993 TT.

  • Carreraloverutah 1 month, 3 weeksago

    Hello Hatch Motors. I like the color. The exclusive options are nice as well. I wish there was more service info. This is a reserve auction, correct? It says reserve but someone told my client it in fact wasn't.

    @RC Thanks for the clarification. I missed the mention of K24's in the PCar write up. I accurately describe the K16's on the driving video . Thanks for the catch on the stamped booklet as well. I'll post shortly.

  • RC 1 month, 3 weeksago

    Beautiful car. A dream. The X50 power kit with 430 HP does not include the larger K24 turbochargers, it keeps the K16s of the base model. Only the X51 power kit with 450 HP had the larger turbos. Seller, could you please show the pages with the service stamps in the booklet? Thank you.

  • hatchmotors (seller) 1 month, 3 weeksago

    The car has a clean Massachusetts Title that is made out to the Dealership. It is transferable to any State and the car doesn’t have to go through the import process.

  • Montegue (registered bidder) 1 month, 3 weeksago

    It’s truly a shame that I have just one kidney to spare. I believe this is a two kidney car.

    With just over 2 days left I've added some requested photos to the file. Strut brace, 92 Liter fuel tank, Leather touch points , option sticker, passenger visor option, etc.
    I've also added a few out in the full sunlight so you can see the color.
    Enjoy!!

  • oldsouth (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @reno637 agreed.... This is a one off car.

  • reno637 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @reno637 my bad I meant $250,000 is weak…

  • reno637 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @oldsouth $215 is weak, this is a fantastic car and color
    and spec is incredible!!

  • oldsouth (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    I knew this one would skyrocket. I predict $250k min

  • MWCRLN (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @hatchmotors

  • hatchmotors (seller) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @MWCRLN Sorry for the typo

  • hatchmotors (seller) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @MWCLRN Just added pictures of undercarriage photos and paint gauge readings. Sorry I forgot to include then when I sent the submission photos to Pcar.

    @seller I sent you a message, I happen to be in Boston today and would like to see the car this afternoon if possible. Let me know. Thanks

  • HALSA5 (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @MWCRLN if you’re really interested in this car then you would invest in a PPI by Porsche or an independent shop.

  • Terra (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    Wow!!! That kind of says it all. Beautiful example.

  • MWCRLN (registered bidder) 1 month, 4 weeksago

    @seller Kindly provide paint meter readings along with undercarriage pictures.
