Produced for only a few years, the 993 proved to be the last of the air-cooled Porsches with increased performance, improved handling, and greater luxury than ever before. The first 911 with a multi-link rear suspension, the 993 was available in coupe, cabriolet, and Targa (now with a power-retracting glass panel rather than the previous removable top insert) and with a choice of rear or all wheel drive. A new six-speed manual or optional Tiptronic automatic transmission further allowed buyers to choose the best car for their needs.Revisions also included the suspension, with Porsche continuing to develop the vehicle to further reduce lift-off oversteer. Exterior details were also changed to bring the car's appearance into line with period expectations. With all of these improvements, it’s no wonder enthusiasts and collectors instantly fell in love with the 993. These cars are some of the most collectible of any 911 as much for their historical value as their driving experience and impressive refinement.The magnificent 1997 Porsche Carrera 4 Cabriolet featured here is finished in gorgeous Arena Red Metallic over an impeccably kept Cashmere leather interior with a Black power convertible top. This investment-grade Carrera 4 Cabriolet was delivered new in Southern California where it remained until late 2025 and has been meticulously maintained and preserved. Today, it is among one of the best examples you'll find on the market and is the ideal choice for any premier collection. Because of its low miles, incredible condition, and outstanding color combination, I believe the investmentment potential of this low-production model will grow beyond you imagination. Offered to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who demands to own one of the best at an investment price!
