The Porsche 993 represents the fourth generation of the Porsche 911, produced from 1994 to 1998. Within this generation, the Carrera S occupies a distinctive place. To contextualize, the 993 is the latest iteration of the 911 to use an air-cooled engine, marking the end of an era for Porsche and its iconic 911 model.

The Porsche 993 Carrera S was introduced in 1996. It differed from the standard Carrera by several aesthetic and technical modifications. Aesthetically, the Carrera S has wider rear wings, similar to those of the 993 Turbo, but without the air intakes on the sides. These widened wings make it possible to accommodate larger diameter wheels. At the front, the Carrera S has a specific spoiler that differs from that of the standard Carrera.

On the technical side, the Carrera S inherits the Carrera's 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six, producing 285 hp (210 kW), thanks to the introduction of the Varioram engine management system in 1996. This system adjusts the length of the intake ducts according to the engine speed, thus optimizing performance over a wide range of speeds. The transmission was a 6-speed manual transmission. The Carrera S chassis has also been modified, with the suspension being lowered by 10 mm compared to the standard Carrera.

One of the key elements of the 993 Carrera S was its braking. It was equipped with “Big Red” brakes with red brake calipers, similar to those of the 993 Turbo, guaranteeing optimal braking performance.

Inside, the Carrera S maintained the high level of finish that Porsche is known for. It was equipped with leather seats, automatic climate control, a quality audio system, among other comfort features. The interior reflected Porsche's desire to combine sportiness and luxury.

The Porsche 993 Carrera S was produced in limited quantities, making it a sought-after collector's car today. Indeed, its combination of technical attributes, its historical connection to the end of the air-cooling era at Porsche, and its distinctive aesthetic place it among the most desirable 911s for many enthusiasts.

The Porsche 993 Carrera S represents a pivotal period for Porsche, marking both the end of the air-cooling era and an increase in performance and sophistication. His contributions to the history of the automobile and to the legacy of the 911 are undeniable.
