Porsche 928s & Porsche 911 (993)

[911legendsneverdie]

The Porsche 996 is not necessarily considered the most popular 911 in the model series. Nevertheless it was one of the most important models for the Porsche brand! 👌🏻 © Photo: @easy.rollin In the 1990s, the Porsche company was in economic difficulties. The 993 with its air-cooled engine was technically outdated and the 928 - which was supposed to inherit the 11 series - did not find the desired response from the buyers. 🤷🏻‍♂️ With the 996 Porsche brought a technically completely new developed vehicle onto the market and of course the 996 Turbo was the absolute spearhead of the series! 😎 Today the 996 Turbo is well on its way to becoming a true classic, so for all those who are looking for one: hurry up! 🏁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCd2Kljg8Lu/?igshid=18en0ghygi34g

A little bit of Stuttgart’s finest today: a very autumn-centric Porsche 993 Carrera 4S in Arena Red Metallic, slowly cruising past the foliage. The earliest 993s are now 26 years old, but they’ve been classics for ages. As the last iteration of the “old” 911 and the last air-cooled Porsche, they were destined to be. In 1994, when the 993 went into production, all three Porsche models (there were only three back then, all sports cars, in contrast to today’s proliferation of models) had long roots. The 928 and 968 dated to the 1970s and the 911 to 1964. Of course, the cars were constantly changing and improving. By the time of the 993, the fourth major redesign, it was clear that the evolution of the original car would give way to something completely new eventually, but not before Porsche built some of the most sophisticated “classic” 911s. The 993 supplanted the 1980s-era flat-sided 964 in 1994 and featured a wide array of upgrades including a new multilink rear suspension derived from the cancelled 989 project (spiritual ancestor to today’s Panamera). The suspension went a long way towards taming the 911’s tail happy tendencies. The updates were wrapped in heavily revised, more sinuous styling done by former Opel staffer Tony Hatter, working under Harm Lagaay. After the perhaps too-conservative 964 update, the 993 was meant to look NEW and followed through on that mission; still clearly a “classic” 911 but very 1990s, and clearly influenced by 1989’s Panamericana concept car. The fastest and most sophisticated 993s were also directly influenced by the 959, and what had been true exotica in 1986 gradually became production car stuff for the 911 Turbo and, unlike the 959, that car was certified for U.S sale. The Turbo and the 4S were belated additions in the USA, dropping for the 1996 model year. The 4S shared the mighty turbo’s body, but was actually marginally slower overall than the regular Carrera 4 thanks to slightly more drag. That was made up for by the wider rubber at lower speeds. The AWD system was also changed to a viscous coupling setup from the mechanical setup of the 964. The 993 soldiered on into 1998, when the water-cooled 996 replaced it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1gsoOFtY9/?igshid=6wh67dkrpynh

Porsche’s 911 Turbo Cabriolet, Summer’s Best Car

It can be difficult to wade through the myriad iterations of the modern Porsche 911.

Only the most passionate enthusiasts can endure the various Carreras, “S’s,” “RS’s,” GT2s, GT3s, and Turbos—and the insider nomenclature involving lots of 9s. That’s not even including such historic, and current non-911 Porsche sports car models as the 914, 718, 928, and 944.

Here, though, is one model you need to know in time for summer weather and the inevitable lust it stirs for the open road: the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. (Cabriolet is car-talk for convertible.)

If you want a seat at any car-talk table, you must be able to reference the 911 Turbo, the most powerful (save for the 911 GT2 RS) strain of cars in the 991 line, which is the internal designation for the seventh-generation Porsche 911 sports car. The turbos are the granddaddies of the Porsche 911 family, madly desired since their introduction in 1974. They came close on the heels of BMW’s 2002 Turbo, which was the first street-legal sports car with then-newfangled turbocharging technology. The 911 Turbos have been setting the pace ever since.

High Price, High Reward

Today, the 911 Turbos are faster than the standard-issue Carreras and more elegant and polished than the track-oriented GT3s. (Those are nigh impossible to get your hands on, anyway.)

Last week in New York, I tested the Cabriolet version of the 911 Turbo S and found myself looking for more excuses to hop into it than I do my favorite pair of jeans. With its open top, it’s more inviting than the coupe version—and happier, too. Aren’t convertibles always happier cars? You are more present when you drive, veritably attacked by fresh air and sunshine.

You’ll certainly have to pay for such a prize: These bliss machines start at $203,000. The one I drove topped out at more than $205,000, which included some seasonally appropriate cooling ventilation in the seats (sweat proofing, basically) and a lane-change-assist system that honestly, I could have done without.

That price tag approaches items from McLaren, even Ferrari and Lamborghini. Then again, with a zero-60mph time of 2.9 seconds and a 205mph top speed, so do the specs. Is the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet the center of the Venn diagram among comfort/performance/cabriolet, converging in one expensive vehicle? Very possibly. For anyone considering an accessible 911 that will genuinely push the boundaries of your driving capabilities, it’s worth a hard look. And no, you won’t find “turbo delay” here.

Happy on any Surface

The 911 T S Cabriolet is noticeably more comfortable to drive on a daily basis under disparate conditions than many of its high-priced competitors. That’s not solely thanks to its four drive modes or the optional lift package that allows for an additional 1.5 inches of clearance, although these do much to smooth what might otherwise be anxious nerves at driving such a high-performing car on a daily basis.

The comfort also reflects the tight yet supple modern handling and all-wheel drive, which has been standard for the 911 Turbos since the 993 generation 911 Turbo in 1995. Also thank the now-famous boxer-6 engine—with 580 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, the most powerful convertible in Porsche’s lineup—commanded by Porsche’s seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and formidable ceramic composite brakes.

A real test: I drove this puppy through pouring rain, in low-visibility conditions, across semi-flooded country roads. Porsche’s sublime torque vectoring, dynamic chassis control, rear-axle steering, and stability management systems that adapt as the car accelerates were more than enough to tackle everything. They conspire to enhance the car’s already neutral handling and low center of gravity even more. Over the past few years, I don’t think I’ve had a car more perfectly aligned and true to the steering input as this one.

Undercover, Barely

Fittingly, the car has the exterior presence to match its ability to cover serious ground, despite the fact that it has a rag top, which disrupts the perfect roofline of so many great convertibles. (That top opens and closes in 13 seconds at speeds of up to 31mph, which is incredibly useful and thankfully quick, as I found during an afternoon of spring rains in the city. Its composition and seal make the 911 Turbo S among the quieter of the high-powered open-top sports cars on the road today.)

The car’s rear is its most distinctive attribute—where your neighbors and other curious onlookers will know it’s something special. The back lid grille with vertical slats, three-dimensional tail lights, reflector units integrated into the air outlets, and gaping twin tailpipes state quite clearly that this car will take no prisoners out on the road.

Wind-wise, it’s still enough inside the 911 Turbo S to wear any variety of hat while you drive: An electrically powered deflector that shields the wind extends and retracts behind your head. It takes just two seconds at the press of a button and is integrated behind the back seat, so it requires no additional space inside the already minimal luggage compartment. Thanks for that, too.

Other interior flourishes will be familiar to any Porschephile. The new infotainment system and seven-inch touchscreen are as Germanically straightforward as ever; Apple car play and Wi-Fi are standard. The Bose surround sound with 12 speakers and 555-watt output (standard on all 911 Turbo models) will fill the car with a rich buffer of music sure to be envied by passersby.

While driving the car, I amended my musical selections so as not to embarrass myself when others could hear as I drove past. (Goodbye, ‘90s-era Mariah Carey.) I recommend you do the same; you wouldn’t want to let that classy interior sound cheesy.

There’s so much to like about the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, I’m sure you’ll discover more for yourself when you get one.

If only Porsche would produce it in a manual version. For a car with a price tag surpassing $200,000, it really should. Now, that would blow the lid off this cabriolet.

🚘 #bixentef #tourisme #automobile #meteocar #vintage #legendcar #germanycar 🇩🇪 #france 🇫🇷 #porsche944turbo Au début des années 1980, les seuls modèles commercialisés par Porsche sont la célèbre 911, et les deux modèles à moteur avant 924 et 928. Les Porsche à moteur avant étaient prévues pour moderniser l'image vieillissante de la célèbre 911 et assurer un comportement routier plus équilibré grâce à une meilleure répartition des masses. Extérieurement, elle hérite des lignes de sa devancière 924, sortie cinq ans plus tôt, tout en montrant un style plus sportif. Elle est issue du crayon de Anatole Lapine, designer letton également responsable de la 928. Montant en puissance par rapport à la 924, qui disposait de seulement 125 ch, la 944 est motorisée par un quatre-cylindres de 2,5 L de 163 ch. La 924 possède un bas-moteur Audi (d'où le prix plus abordable), et la 944 (moteur Porsche) remplacera progressivement au catalogue sa devancière. La 924 sera en effet produite jusqu'en 1988, les dernières séries (924S) intégrant même le moteur de la 944, légèrement « dégonflé » pour la circonstance (150 puis 160 ch en 1988). Après avoir été annoncée en juin 1981, la 944 a été présentée en septembre au salon de l'automobile de Francfort, où elle est très bien accueillie par la presse et le public. Elle est produite à partir de novembre 1981, et commercialisée à la fin de la même année. La 944 Turbo est présentée en février 1985, et lancée en juillet. Son moteur, qui ne change pas de cylindrée, développe 220 ch. En 1988, la puissance de la 944 Turbo est revue à la hausse grâce à l'emploi d'un nouveau turbo K26/8. La voiture atteint désormais 250 ch. L'appellation sera alors Turbo S (Cup en France) pour une série limitée à 1 000 exemplaires. À partir de 1989, toutes les 944 turbo développent 250 ch. En 1991, la 944 est remplacée par la 968, construite sur la même base mais dont l'esthétique a été revue pour lui donner un air de famille avec la 928 et la future 911 (type 993), qui sortira fin 1993. La 968 sera équipée d'un moteur atmosphérique de 3 litres de cylindrée développant une puissance de 240 ch, grâce notamment à une distribution variable, @wikipedia (à Caissargues) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA09be9D7d4/?igshid=8ftucrp88n9a

Porsche Pebble Pix!

When you attend a Porsche gathering, you don’t hear the numbers “911” bandied about. You hear which series or era of 911 is residing in front of you, be it a 930, 964, 993, 996, Ducktail RS, GT3, Club Sport, or what have you.

And at this year’s Werks Reunion during Monterey Car week, there were plenty of each of to be seen, as well as a trove of 356s, a swath of 928s, a scattering of 914s, and even a lowly 924 or 968.

According to the Porsche Club of America, “This is not a contest of who has removed dust from the deepest crevices in their Porsche, but rather a judged show that rewards a Porsche that has been lovingly maintained and presents itself well on the field.”

Werks may not be as curated a Porsche gathering as Rennsport or Luftgekuhlt, but it is definitely well attended during Monterey Car Week. And because it is a Porsche-specific gathering, there is the possibility of something weird and rare showing up. And show up they did.

Included in this year’s field was one of only two Mistral-bodied Porsches known to exist (at least according to the owner). This one was derived from a 1954 Reutter Coupe Special Racer, though refitted with a 912 engine and Weber carbs and a transmission from a 1962 356B.

Another oddity was a rare 1961 356 Coupe by Karmann. Although most 356s carried the traditional sharply descending 356 roofline, the Karmann version carried the roofline straighter, leaving headroom for rear passengers. Many saw this design as ungainly, and many of the Karmanns thus became donors for aftermarket cabriolet conversions.

But not everything had provenance. There was a brilliant orange “Safari” 911, plus the intentionally distressed version with “theft deterrent” paint work that gives the appearance (but not actuality) of rust.

Much care was taken to highlight rare interior details of some cars, be they traditional houndstooth or the psychedelic “Pasha” interior of the 928 era.

So, sure, none of these cars were going to compete at The Quail or at the Concours d’Elegance, but for Porsche lovers, there was plenty to be seen.
