1998 Porsche 993 Turbo

This 1998 Porsche 911 Turbo was produced for the German market via the Porsche Exclusive program, and it features a collection of Turbo S-style options and revisions. The 3.6-liter flat-six was specified with the X50 Turbo Power Kit, which provided enlarged turbochargers and an additional oil cooler, and other factory equipment includes rear quarter-panel air inlets, Aerokit spoilers, Guards Red-painted 18″ Technology wheels, black extended leather upholstery, and two-tone leather and deviating-color stitching for the painted hardback sport seats. The car has also been fitted with a Turbo S-style four-exit exhaust system, yellow-finished brake calipers, carbon-fiber cabin trim, front brake ducts, and Turbo S badging. KW coilovers have been installed, and all four wheels are driven through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip rear differential. This RoW 993 Turbo shows 73k kilometers (~45k miles) and is now offered by the selling dealer in Spiesen-Elversberg, Germany, with a stamped maintenance log, German-language build sheets, literature, and Belgian registration. The car was optioned with Aerokit front and rear spoilers (XD1 and XD2) as well as rear quarter-panel air inlets (X79), and Turbo S-style front brake ducts have been added along with Turbo S rear badging. It was finished from the factory in Guards Red (L84A) and has been repainted, reportedly following an accident that resulted in damage to the rear end. The 18″ Turbo Technology hollow-spoke wheels were finished in Guards Red from the factory, and they are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car features an Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), KW coilovers have been added, and the brake calipers have been refinished in yellow. The optional heated sport seats feature painted backs and Porsche-crest headrests, and they were upholstered via the Porsche Exclusive program in black and Lipstick Red leather with Guards Red stitching. Black leather extends to the dashboard, door panels, and various other cabin elements, including the speaker covers, air vents, and sun visors. Carbon-fiber trim accents the dashboard, shifter knob, and handbrake lever. Interior amenities include a Becker-Porsche CR-31 cassette stereo, a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer, cruise control, an onboard computer, power windows, and automatic climate control. The carbon-accented steering wheel frames aluminum-look instrumentation, and the six-digit odometer shows 73k kilometers (~45k miles), approximately 1,300 of which were added under current ownership. The twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six was optioned with the X50 Turbo Power Kit, which utilized K22 turbochargers, an additional oil cooler, and an adapted ECU to produce 430 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, a 30 horsepower increase over the standard 993 Turbo. A Turbo S-style quadruple-outlet exhaust system has been added. The most recent oil change was performed in November 2022. Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.
