Representing the final model year of the air-cooled 911 and one of the rarest, most sought-after variants of the 993 generation, this 1998 Porsche 993 Carrera S Coupe is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Classic Grey upholstery. It features wide Turbo-spec bodywork paired with a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six and a 6-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. This two-owner Carrera S is now being offered for auction by the selling dealer out of Tennessee with approximately 85k miles showing on the odometer.

The 993 Carrera S sports wide fenders, rockers, and bumpers from the contemporary 911 Turbo model, as well as a unique split-grille rear decklid. This example comes finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and rides on lightweight 18” Technology hollow-spoke wheels with colored Porsche crests. Other equipment includes integrated fog lights, projection headlights with washers, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, an electric sunroof, and red Porsche-branded brake calipers. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

Inside, this example showcases a Classic Grey interior. Accessories include a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, power side mirrors, and 8-way power seats. Carbon fiber adorns the instrument panel, while aluminum accents can be found on the shifter and brake handle. A Porsche Classic radio has also been fitted.

Equipped with a Varioram intake, dry-sump lubrication, and a dual-exhaust system, the air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 282 HP to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox. Standard performance features include an Automatic Brake differential (ABD), four-wheel disc brakes with fixed 4-piston rotors, and a multi-link LSA rear suspension. No outstanding maintenance items have been reported.

This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, and a spare tire.

The seller would like you to know: “This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S (VIN WP0AA299XWS321118) is a rare and highly desirable example from the final year of the air-cooled 911 era. With 85,358 miles on the odometer, it presents as a well-driven yet preserved vehicle that embodies the essence of Porsche’s most celebrated generation. The Carrera S variant of the 993-generation 911 is noted for its wide-body design, shared with the Turbo, but offered without forced induction. One of its most distinctive visual features is the split rear grille, a unique dual-section engine cover that enhances both cooling and aesthetics while nodding to earlier Porsche design elements.

The 1998 model year marked the end of the air-cooled lineage, making this car especially significant to collectors and enthusiasts. Power comes from a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine (M64) producing approximately 282 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain delivers classic Porsche performance with a level of mechanical engagement that has become increasingly rare in modern sports cars. The 993 also benefited from Porsche’s advanced multi-link rear suspension, improving handling and ride quality over its predecessors while preserving the trademark 911 driving feel.

The Carrera S came well-equipped from the factory, typically featuring premium touches like 18-inch Technology Hollow Spoke wheels, xenon headlights with washers, integrated fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. The wide stance, lowered suspension, and clean rear deck, devoid of the Turbo’s wing, give it a muscular yet understated presence. Porsche produced relatively few Carrera S models for North America in 1998, and examples with the original split-grill configuration are especially sought after.

This particular car’s mileage suggests regular use, and while not in the ultra-low-mileage category, a properly maintained 993 with this mileage remains highly valuable. The VIN confirms its model year and alignment with known Carrera S production. As a final-year, wide-body, air-cooled 911 with a manual transmission and signature styling, this 993 Carrera S represents one of the most compelling blends of heritage, performance, and design in the modern classic Porsche world.”
