My Childhood SuperCar Crush - Porsche 993 Turbo

There is something about it, the 993 porsche turbo with that glorious whale tale was my childhood dream car. If was sleek, practical, fast, and reliable. AWD with a 0-60 under 4 seconds and a top speed of over 180 mph from the factory, it was the common sense supercar of my youth. There is not a scenario I could picture where I wouldn't enjoy driving this car, but today I drove it to see if the value was there at the current market price. Virtually any 993 turbo will cost you more than any of its equivalent successor turbo variants from Porsche.

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I believe the car is worth what it is because: -It was one of the fastest cars of its time -You can't get a new 911 Turbo or Turbo S in a manual -Was the fastest of the air-cooled production 911's -Has a classic look and feel with performance that still matches modern-day cars you can get better performing and newer cars for the same money, but you can never get the feel of an older car buy buying a new car today. Moral of the Story: Worth the money? If you want straight up comfort, technology or performance, No. If you want a car that will never go out of style, will still be very fast by today's standards, and have a classic car feel, then yeah. It's worth the $150-200K

@Dan-up6do 7 жыл бұрын
The value comes from the 993 being the last of the air cooled Porsche's, with it's original design & dimensions after that the 996 was a complete redesign. It was also the quickest production road Porsche since the 959, all that helps make it a valuable car. It was one of my childhood favourites too.

@drftngs14 7 жыл бұрын
One of my all time favorite cars as well. I don't think there's many better looking cars out there, from the lines to the bulging rear it's superb. A good buy is a 993 Carrera 4S, not as fast as the turbo but you get that raw experience. I think that's why people love the 993 so much. Personally, I'd want a driver as well, the ones who buy there's don't care you can buy a newer exotic that's faster, more tech blah blah, they want the driving experience. I will own a 4S one day.

The 993 is a real gem in Porsche history. It was the total package, and it still looks great. It was such a clean and straightforward car in terms of styling. No crazy mouths in front No superfluous creases No weird light setups No wasteful black plastic bits No unnecessary curves No chrome No extraneous panel gaps No crazy exhaust tips or housings And like Rob said, as far as exotics went at the time, it was damn reliable. It's a modern classic and as much as I hate to see these things escape my potential grasp due to appreciation, I can't say the car isn't deserving. This was the last great 911 before Porsche almost bit the dust, and right before they got the Japanese in to help them retool their operations and products.
@StefanThePro 7 жыл бұрын
They are worth it. I get offers for my 993's all the time but what am I gonna replace it with?? Nothing is as fun. The local PCA chapter agrees (the new pcars are always trying to keep up) and that timeless look is unbeatable. This is Porsche's greatest work.

Oh man, this video and car bring back some good memories for me! The first manual transmission car I ever drove was a 1996 911 Twin Turbo. I remember getting in and ignition on left and thinking how minimal the interior was--truly a drivers car. I wouldn't say it is worth 200k, BUT back when I drove one, it was 78k and that DEFINITELY was worth it. Too bad I didn't have the money :)

I think one of the reasons the 993 turbos are worth so much is that a lot of the technology that was developed in the 959, trickled down into this car. So in essence this is more like a bargain 959, rather than an expensive 20 year old used Porsche. Plus dat ass, look at those fat fenders, the whale tail and the skinny waistline. That is the pinnacle of the classic 911 lines.

I didn't get the fuss either, until I bought my 993. You can't fully enjoy a 993 on the highway; they come alive on back roads. Although it's not the most sophisticated suspension, it tackles curves and you truly appreciate how visceral and connected you are to the car. My car isn't as powerful as the Turbo, and the Turbo further adds to the experience (unlike modern Turbo cars) and provides more torque. The market is certainly inflated, but gone are the days of $60-70K 993 Turbos. P.S. You should drive a C4 ZR-1, it will make you hate the C4 much less.

I owned a 993 TT X50 for a while in the early 2000s. It remains the most complete, and probably the best car I've ever owned. I'm sure that Rob's interest in the car is very much wrapped up in its current value, and in how much he could make flipping one. It's worth remembering that at around 20 years old now, they can be fantastically expensive to run - like all old Porsche Turbos.
